Automatic Antifreeze Feature

This unit features an intelligent antifreeze feature. The
unit can keep itself warm at temperatures below 3° C
as long as it is connected to a working battery and it is
supplied with methanol.
If the unit is in antifreeze mode, the message
"Antifreeze mode" will appear on the second line. The
first line will indicate the current operating mode, for
example "Off".
The antifreeze function works only as long as a fuel
cartridge and a sufficiently intact battery are
connected.
The unit will not be able to start if the battery voltage
falls below 10.5 volts. Please note that the unit will not
recharge the battery if the voltage drops below 10.5
volts.
Please observe the following maintenance tips for
storage and winter operation:
1 To cut energy costs, we recommend dismounting
the unit and storing it away from cold if it is to be
inactive for longer periods of time. Dismounting is
easy; it requires just a few steps, no tools and no
particular technical finesse. Store the unit in the
original carton.
2 If, despite precautions, the unit does freeze, let it
thaw in a warm place for approximately 24 hours
before operating. Please note that the unit's
performance may diminish if it freezes repeatedly.
Running in straight antifreeze mode, the unit will
consume approximately 10 liters of methanol in the
course of a five-month Central European winter.
