Operation:
When you are satisfied with the position of the De-Icer, plug the electrical cord into the GFCI protected electrical outlet. The green indicator light will illuminate showing that the De-Icer is Heating Mode. This will happen every time power is first supplied to the unit regardless of water temperature, so you can see that the internal heating element is working. Once the De-Icer reaches an optimal internal temperature it will switch to standby mode and the indicator light will change to blue. When the temperature of the water immediately surrounding the De-Icer drops to 35 degrees, the De-Icer will enter Heating Mode and glow green. When the temperature of the water immediately surrounding the De-Icer reaches 45 degrees, the De-Icer will re-enter Standby Mode and glow blue again. The cycle will automatically repeat, keeping a ring of water around the De-Icer ice
