3.4 Summary of hazards
General rules for dealing with hazards and safety precautions
The combi steamer is designed to protect the user from all hazards that can reasonably be avoided by
design measures.
The actual purpose of the combi steamer, 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 pro‐
tection 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 illustration shows a size 6.10 gas combi steamer as an example of all table-top units:
Heat generation (1)
The combi steamer becomes hot inside the cooking chamber, on the inside of the appliance door and
on the vents and pipes on the top of the combi steamer. This poses:
■
A fire risk from heat given off by the combi steamer
■
A risk of burns on hot surfaces outside and inside the combi steamer, and also on hot appliance
parts, food containers and other accessories used for cooking
■
A risk of burns on the vents and pipes on the top of the appliance
■
Risk of burns on hot accessories and fittings used during cooking if they have been removed from
the appliance after cooking and set down elsewhere. This applies in particular to mobile shelf
racks (not applicable to ConvoSmoke) or to smoker boxes (only applicable to ConvoSmoke)
Hot steam/vapour (2)
The combi steamer generates hot steam and vapour, which escapes when the appliance door is
opened, and which is removed through the air vent on the top of the combi steamer when the appli‐
ance door is sitting closed. This poses:
■
A risk of scalding from hot steam when the appliance door is opened. You are protected from the
hot steam by the appliance door and its safety catch, provided you use the venting position when
opening the appliance door and generally make sure that the appliance door is intact. Take particu‐
lar care when opening the appliance door if the top door edge is below your field of vision, which is
the case for an appliance in a stacking kit.
■
A risk of scalding from hot steam and hot fat if a water spray is sprayed into hot fat
■
A risk of scalding from the high temperatures of the vents and pipes on the top of the appliance
