4. Operating Instructions

The Cal-Mil IP152 Ice Pan is designed for passive water collection and drainage. No active power source is required for its primary function.

• Once set up, place your ice sculpture or items requiring cold display directly onto or within the pan.
• As ice melts, the water will collect in the pan and flow through the drainage port into the connected runoff hose.
• Regularly monitor the drainage to ensure the hose is not kinked or blocked, allowing for continuous water removal.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

• After each use, empty any remaining water from the pan.
• Wash the pan with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Dry completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Clean the runoff hose periodically to prevent buildup or blockages. Flush with water and ensure it is clear.

5.2 Storage

Store the ice pan in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to preserve the clarity and integrity of the acrylic.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Water Not Draining

• Check Hose Kinks: Ensure the runoff hose is not bent or kinked, obstructing water flow.
• Verify Slope: Confirm that the hose has a continuous downward slope from the pan to the drainage point.
• Clear Blockages: Inspect the drainage port and hose for any debris or ice buildup that might be causing a blockage. Clear as necessary.

6.2 Pan Leaking

• Hose Connection: Ensure the runoff hose is securely attached to the drainage port. Tighten if loose.
