6. Plug in the power cord to a power
outlet and the current ambient air
temperature will be displayed on
the digital thermometer. If this
temperature is above 35C, freezing
pipes may not be possible. Should
the Icecap-Pro pipe freezer have
been stored in a hot location such
as a car on a hot summers day,
before using press the power button
and the cooling fans will start, the
temperature will lower to the
ambient room temperature.
7. Press the freeze button
❄
and the
jaw temperature will begin to drop.
8. Factors that affect the freezing
times are:
a The ambient air temperature.
b The size of the pipe. Larger pipes
take longer to freeze than smaller
pipes.
c The quality of thermal contact
between the freezing components
and the pipe.
d The temperature of water within
the pipe.
e The level of solar radiation. If
possible, keep out of direct sunlight.
f Contaminated water. Corrosion
inhibitors or anti-freeze within
central heating systems may slow
or possibly prevent freezing in
high concentrations.
IMPORTANT
The Icecap-Pro contains an
accurate and fast responding
digital thermometer. During
the freezing process it may be
noticed that the temperature
rises a few degrees quite
quickly before stabilising.
This is not a fault with the
machine but is caused by ice
breaking away from an ice
plug as it is being formed and
being replaced by warmer
water from below.
