The fuel cell consists of several components that are installed in the rear
storage space (Fig. 168) and of an operating unit (Fig. 170) in the living area.
The following components are on the fuel cell (Fig. 168,6):
z The connector for the air discharge hose (Fig. 168,4) or the filling hole for
the service fluid
z the off-heat tube (Fig. 168,5)
z electrical connections (Fig. 168,3) with data interface (Fig. 169,2), device
connection (Fig. 169,3) and connection for the operating panel (Fig. 169,1)
A tank cartridge belongs to the fuel cell (Fig. 168,6). It is connected to the fuel
cell via a tank connection (Fig. 168,2).
The tank cartridge is firmly fixed in the tank cartridge holder (Fig. 168,1).
The fuel cell automatically charges the living area batteries if their voltage falls
below 12,3 V and if the fuel cell is switched on using the On/Off key
(Fig. 170,8).
X Keep fuel cell and tank cartridges – including empty or half-empty tank
cartridges – out of the reach of children.
X When used in vehicles, the fuel cell and the tank cartridges must be
secured to avoid accidents.
Z Do not store the fuel cell at temperatures above 45 °C or below 1 °C.
Z Do not operate the fuel cell at temperatures above 40 °C or below -20 °C.
Z When the appliance is connected to an intact battery, the frost protection
switches on automatically if the ambient temperature drops below 3 °C,
even if the fuel cell is switched off. Therefore always connect a full tank car-
tridge and a sufficiently charged battery, if it is stored below 3 °C.
Z If the fuel cell freezes despite taking all precautions, leave the appliance to
defrost at room temperature for approx. 24 hours in a switched off state.
Then it can be used again.
Z Do not cover the ventilation holes on the fuel cell. Danger of overheating!
Z The fuel cell is not waterproof. Clean casing only with a slightly damp cloth
and ensure that water does not enter the device.
Z The minimum running time of the fuel cell is 30 minutes. If the On/Off button
is pressed during this period, the fuel cell only shuts down when this min-
imum operating time expires. The LEDs light up on during this time.
Z Further information can be obtained in the instruction manual for the fuel
cell.
