1C. Summary of design, operational hazards and safety devices
The information in this section should be read and understood by Facility Managers, Chefs, Users and
Service Technicians.
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.
Warning and safety signs
The following warning signs/notices must be attached to the microwave combination oven and optional accessories
in the area indicated so as to be easily visible at all times.

Table 1.3: Safety devices - actions and checks
Hazard points
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.
Live components (3)
The microwave combination oven contains live parts. This means a
risk from live parts if the cover is not in place.
Parts moving against each other (4)
For various actions, such as opening/shutting the appliance door or cleaning the appliance door, there is the risk that
you will crush or cut your hand.
