Summary of hazards
General rules for dealing with hazards and safety precautions
The microwave combination oven is designed to protect the user from all hazards that can reasonably
be avoided by design measures.
The actual purpose of the microwave combination 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 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 Merrychef e2s microwave combination oven:
Excessive microwave energy
The microwave combination oven generates microwave energy. An operation with an open or damaged
door or cavity can result in external and internal burns of body parts following exposure to microwave
energy.
Heat generation (1)
The microwave combination oven becomes hot inside the cavity and on the inside of the appliance door.
This poses a risk of burns on hot surfaces inside the microwave combination oven, and also on hot
appliance parts, food containers and other accessories used for cooking.
Hot steam / vapour (2)
When cooking food the microwave combination oven may generate hot steam and vapour which
escapes when the appliance door is opened and which is removed through the air vents on the rear of
the microwave combination oven when the appliance door is closed. This poses a risk of scalding from
hot steam when the appliance door is opened. Take particular care when opening the appliance door if
the top door edge is below your field of vision.
