Hazards arising from the appliance

The combi oven is designed to protect the user from all hazards that can reasonably be avoided by design measures.

The actual purpose of the combi oven, however, means that there are still residual risks; you must therefore take precautions to avoid them. A safety device can provide you with a certain degree of protection against some of these hazards. You must always ensure, however, that these safety devices are in place and in working order.

The nature of these residual risks and what effect they have are described below.

Hazard points

The following illustration shows a size 6.10 combi oven as an example for all appliances:

Item	Safety hazard/cause of hazard	Hazard locations
1	Proximity to flammable materials	On top of the appliance
2	Hot surfaces	Air vent, ventilation port, appliance door and cooking chamber
3	Hot steam / vapour	Air vent, ventilation port, cooking chamber
4	Contact with cleaning agents	Cooking chamber, cleaning-fluid connection
5	Spraying down the appliance with water	Appliance case (cover for electrical parts)

Proximity to flammable materials

Heat produced in the appliance during heating-up phases can cause the following hazards:

Fire hazard from heat given off by the appliance

What can cause this?

By storing flammable materials, gases or liquids on the appliance

How can I avoid the hazard?

Do not store flammable materials, gases or liquids on top of the appliance

Do not store gas canisters immediately beside the appliance

Hot surfaces

During and after the cooking operation, heat produced by the appliance can cause the following hazards:

A risk of burns from hot surfaces

Where?

Externally on the appliance door
On the top of the appliance, in particular on the air vent and on the ventilation port
Internally on the appliance door

Inside the entire cooking chamber, including all parts that are or were inside during cooking mode

How can I avoid the hazard?

Do not touch surfaces for any length of time

Wear specified protective clothing, in particular protective gloves

Hot steam / vapour

Operating and otherwise working with the combi oven can lead to the following hazards:

Risk of scalding from hot steam/vapour

Where? When?

On the air vent and on the ventilation port on top of the appliance

When opening the appliance door during and after cooking

How can I avoid the hazard?

Do not get close to the air vent or ventilation port
Always open the appliance door slowly and carefully
Use the latch position of the appliance door
When cooling takes place during the cooking or cleaning operation, expect to face a stronger blast of steam than usual, and make sure any bystanders step back from the appliance.

Wear specified protective clothing, in particular protective gloves

Contact with cleaning agents

The following hazards can arise while cleaning the appliance:

Risk of chemical burns or irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory system from contact with cleaning agents and their fumes

What can cause this?

If the cooking chamber has not been cooled sufficiently
If the appliance door is opened during the fully automatic cleaning process

When cleaning-fluid canisters are replaced

How can I avoid the hazard?

Let the cooking chamber cool to below 60 °C before any cleaning tasks
Do not open the appliance door until prompted by the software
After cleaning has finished, visually check that all cleaning agent residues have been removed by thorough rinsing.

Exercise caution when handling the cleaning-fluid canisters

Spraying down the appliance with water

Cleaning tasks performed on the appliance can cause the following hazards:

Risk of electric shock caused by a short-circuit

When?

If the appliance comes into contact with water

How can I avoid the hazard?

Do not wash down the outer case with water

Disconnect the appliance from the power supply when cleaning the outside of the appliance
