Safety Information
EFOY fuel cells and EFOY fuel cartridges must not be stored at
temperatures over 45°C and must not be operated at temperatures over
40°C.
Protect from heat and direct sunlight.
Operate the EFOY fuel cell only as specified in the installation
instructions, and in a well-ventilated space.
Keep EFOY 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 fuel cell or EFOY fuel cartridge.
Protect from heat and ignition sources. Methanol is highly flammable!
A methanol spillage (e.g. after an accident or in the event of damage to the
EFOY fuel cell or EFOY fuel cartridge) poses a fire hazard. Keep away from
ignition sources and ensure good ventilation.
Leakage of a small quantity of methanol will evaporate, leaving no
residue.
Keep all EFOY fuel cells and EFOY fuel cartridges out of reach of children,
even when empty or only partly full.
WARNING!
Methanol is toxic when inhaled, swallowed or allowed to come into
contact with the skin. Inhaling and swallowing methanol or allowing it to
come into contact with your skin carries a serious risk of irreversible
damage.
Call a doctor immediately if you have direct physical contact with the
substance, in the event of an accident, or if you feel unwell, and show the
doctor the fuel cartridge label, the methanol safety data sheet or the user
manual.
WARNING!
In exceptional cases, the waste gases emitted by the device may contain
substances that are harmful to health!
Do not inhale waste gases directly for prolonged periods. Instead, use the
exhaust tube provided to route the waste gas into the open air.
