WARNING: Do not touch any part of the condenser chamber during or immedi-
ately after the cooling process. The condenser chamber is at a very low temper-
ature and may cause tissue damage.
WARNING: Do not pour water at a temperature greater than 50 ˚C into the ice
condenser when it is cold. This may result in a dangerous rise in pressure in the
refrigeration system.
Leave the ModulyoD switched off at ambient temperature to defrost. Make sure that all
water is drained from the condenser chamber before you switch the ModulyoD “on”
again. This method takes up to 36 hours to complete depending on the ambient tem-
perature.
Alternatively, you can pour warm water into the ice condenser to speed up the defrost-
ing process. This method is useful if you wish to use the ModulyoD again, immediate-
ly.
Use the following procedure:
1. Remove the drying accessory from the accessory flange.
2. Close the drain valve.
3. Pour warm water, at a maximum temperature of 50 ˚C, into the condenser
chamber. Note: Do not fill the chamber above the level of the vacuum
pipeline (item 2, Figure 8).
4. Wait for a few minutes to allow the ice to melt.
5. Fully open the drain valve and allow the water to drain out of the con-
denser chamber. A piece of tubing can be connected to the drain outlet for
easier drainage into a sink or a container.
6. Remove the condenser extension tube (item 1, Figure 8). Clean and dry
both the extension tube and the inside of the condenser chamber.
7. Re-fit the condenser extension tube.
Prepare the ModulyoD for the next operational cycle as described in Section 4.3.
