3.5 Hazards arising from the appliance
General rules for working with the appliance
The combi oven is designed to protect the user from all hazards that can reasonably be avoided by design measures.
The actual purpose of the combi 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
always 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.
Escaping gas while putting into service
The following hazards can result due to gas escaping while putting the appliance into service:
Explosion hazard from gas
What can cause this?
■
If the appliance is moved and connections become leaky as a result
■
If the gas pipe is damaged.
How can I avoid the hazard?
Never move the appliance during use or cleaning
If you smell gas, take the appropriate steps; see 'What to do if you smell gas' on page 69
Escaping gas when installing the appliance and removing the appliance from service
Escaping gas due to faulty installation and removal of the appliance from service can cause the following hazards:
Explosion hazard from gas
What can cause this?
■
If gas pipes are leaking
■
If the customer's gas tap is opened before the gas connection has been fully installed
■
During removal from service, if the gas supply system has not been disconnected before starting work on
the gas installation
How can I avoid the hazard?
Any work on the gas installation must be entrusted solely to certified gas installation engineers from an
authorized service company
Install gas shut-off device close to appliance
After connecting to the gas supply and after any subsequent operation on gas components, always leak-
test every connection and supply point for the gas components to ensure they are gastight.
Ensure that all the specified points inside and outside the appliance are gastight before putting the combi
oven into service.
Always disconnect the gas supply system before starting work on the gas installation for the purpose of
removal from service
