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 on the following pages.
Hazard points

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.
Hot liquids
Foodstuffs are cooked in the microwave combination oven. These foodstuffs may also be liquid or liquefy during cooking.
This poses a risk of scalding from hot liquids, which may be spilled if not handled properly.
Live components (3)
The microwave combination oven contains live parts. This means a risk from live parts if the cover is not in place.
