Product safety and dangers
The appliances described in this manual are technically sophisticated, manufactured
using high-quality materials and subject to many hours of testing in the factory. They
re
fl
ect the state of the art and comply with recognised technical safety regulations.
However, there are still risks involved, even when the appliances are used as intended.
These are described below.
Live components may be exposed once the covers have been removed. Touching these
can lead to an electric shock. Disconnect the mains plug before removing any covers.
Work on the electrical system must only be performed by quali
fi
ed electricians.
Leaving the door open during operation can cause the appliance to overheat or pose
a
fi
re hazard. Do not leave the door open during operation.
When loading the appliance with an unsuitable load, poisonous or explosive vapours
or gases may be produced. This could cause the appliance to explode, and persons
could be severely injured or poisoned. The appliance may only be loaded with mate-
rials / test objects that do not emit any poisonous or explosive vapours when heated
up.
With appliances above a speci
fi
c size, you could become accidentally locked inside,
which could put you at risk of death.
Do not climb into the appliance!
Depending on operation, the surfaces in the interior of the appliance and the chamber
load may still be very hot after the appliance is switched off. Touching these surfaces
can cause burns. Wear heat-resistant protective gloves or wait until the appliance
cools down after switching off before touching.
