Overview of Hazards
General rules on how to deal with hazards and safety measures
The combi oven has been designed in such a way as to ensure that users will be protected from all
hazards that can be reasonably prevented using design-based measures.
However, the combi oven's intended use entails a series of residual risks that will require you to take
precautions in order to avoid them. The safety devices and guards on the unit may protect you from
some of these risks to a certain extent. However, in order for the safety devices and guards to protect
you, you must make sure that they are in place and working properly.
Following is a description of these residual risks and what kinds of hazards they pose.

Heat build-up (1)
During operation, the following combi oven areas will become hot: the inside of the oven cavity, the
inside of the unit door, and the vents on top of the unit. This poses the following risks:
■
Fire hazard posed by the combi oven's heat output.
■
Risk of burns posed by hot surfaces on the outside and inside of the combi oven, as well as by hot
unit parts and bakeware on the inside.
■
Risk of burns posed by the vents on top of the unit.
Hot steam (2)
The combi oven generates hot steam that will escape when the door is opened and that will come out
through the air vents on top of the combi oven when the door is closed. This poses the following risks:
■
Risk of scalding posed by hot steam when the unit door is opened. The unit door and its special
mechanisms (slow, step-by-step opening) will protect you from hot steam if you use these mecha‐
nisms and make sure that the unit door is intact.
■
Risk of scalding posed by hot steam whenever water is sprayed into hot fat.
■
Risk of burns posed by high temperatures on the vents found on top of the unit.
Hot liquids
The purpose of the combi oven is to cook food inside it. This food can also be liquid or become lique‐
fied during the cooking process. This poses the following risks:
■
Risk of scalding posed by hot liquids that may be spilled if handled incorrectly.
