►Summary of hazards
General rules for dealing with hazards and safety precautions
The appliance is designed so to protect the user from all hazards that can reasonably be avoided by
design measures.
The actual purpose of the appliance, however, means that there are still residual risks; you must there-
fore take precautions to avoid them. A safety device can provide you with a certain degree of protec-
tion 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 diagram shows the hazard points when the front panel has been removed from the air
inlet (representative of all appliance sizes):
123
No. Description
1 Appliance cover
2 Grill over air outlet
3 Grill over air intake (in front of fans)
Damaged power cable
The appliance's power cable may become damaged during transit. This poses:
A risk of electric shock from damaged power cable.
Live components
The appliance contains live parts. This poses:
A risk of electric shock if covers are not in place.
Risk of electric shock caused by a short-circuit when spraying water on the appliance.
Missing equipotential bonding
No equipotential bonding installed. This poses:
A risk of electric shock when the hood is not incorporated into the equipotential bonding of the
combi steamer.

For your safety
CONVOVent mini / mini 2in1 19
Hot steam / vapor
The combi steamer generates hot steam and vapor that escape when the appliance door is opened.
This poses:
A risk of scalding from hot steam when the appliance door is opened. You are protected from hot
steam by the appliance door itself.
Hot vented air
The combi steamer generates hot steam / vapor that is removed through the air vent on top of the
combi steamer into the hood. This poses:
A risk of scalding at the air outlet.
Hot components
If the hood is not switched on while the combi steamer is running, this poses:
Risk of burns from hot hood components.
Hot components (air vent)
The combi steamer generates hot steam / vapor that is removed through the air vent on top of the
combi steamer into the hood. This poses:
A risk of burns at the air-outlet grill.
Risk of burns on the left side of the hood housing.
Moldy and bacterially contaminated water
If the hood is not used for a long time, this poses:
Risk of contamination from moldy and bacterially contaminated water.
Condensation collection
The hood is not turned on when using the combi steamer. This poses:
A risk of mold formation from condensation collecting inside the appliance.
Overstressing your body
If a single person tries to lift the appliance by himself/herself, the appliance's weight may lead to:
A risk of injury, especially in the area of the torso, from incorrect lifting.
Contact with cleaning agents
Cleaning agents can come into direct contact with your skin and eyes. This poses:
Risk of skin and eye irritation or chemical burns.
Hood falling down
If the hood is not fastened to the combi steamer correctly, the hood may slip and fall down. This poses:
Risk of crushing various parts of the body from the hood falling down.
Combined units falling over
Mounting the hood on top of the combi steamer increases the risk of the units toppling over. This
poses:
Risk of crushing various parts of the body from the combined units falling over.

For your safety
CONVOVent mini / mini 2in1 20
Rotating fan
The appliance contains a fan. This poses:
A risk of hand injuries or hair or loose clothing being caught by the rotating fan wheel if the cover is
not fitted properly.
