  • Page 5: Safety Information

    Safety Information Safety Information Explanation of safety alert signal words DANGER! Indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, poses a high risk of death or serious physical injury. WARNING! Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, poses a medium risk of death or serious physical injury.

  • Page 6: General Safety Instructions

    Keep EFOY Pro fuel cells that have been switched off in frost-free storage or use the automatic antifreeze feature. Do not smoke in the vicinity of the EFOY Pro fuel cell or EFOY fuel car- tridge. Protect from heat and ignition sources. Methanol is highly flam-...

  • Page 7: Safety Instructions For Methanol

    DANGER! Leakage of methanol fumes poses a fire hazard! Do not smoke when re- placing the EFOY fuel cartridge and do not expose it to other ignition sources! Protect EFOY fuel cartridges from temperatures exceeding +50 °C / +122 °F.
  • Page 8 Safety Information WARNING! Methanol is highly flammable! You receive methanol in safe, tested EFOY fuel cartridges, which prevent the contents from escaping if used correctly. The storage and transport of methanol may be subject to statutory regu- lations. For more information, refer to the safety data sheet on methanol, availa- ble on our website at http://www.efoy-pro.com.

  • Page 25: Connecting The Exhaust Hose

    Installation Connecting the exhaust hose Within the EFOY Pro fuel cell methanol and oxygen are converted into wa- ter and carbon dioxide. This process creates heat, which needs to be con- ducted to the outside together with water vapor, carbon dioxide, and traces of methanol.
  • Page 26 Installation Feed the exhaust hose from the instal- lation space through to the outside. Use a suitable sealant to seal the hole. Ensure that the exhaust hose has no kinks or blockages and that the ex- haust gases can flow freely out of it. INFO: Keep the exhaust hose as short as possible.

  • Page 27: Installing The Fuel Cartridge Holder

    Installation Installing the fuel cartridge holder • Fuel cartridges and reserve fuel car- tridges must not be placed in front of the inlet or outlet for the off-heat flow. • Do not place any other objects in front of the inlet or outlet for the off-heat flow.

  • Page 28: Electrical Connections

    Installation Electrical connections WARNING! All electrical work must only be carried out by qualified electrical techni- cians in accordance with the relevant legal provisions.
