2.7 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 below.
Hazard points

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/ liquids (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. The operator must take particular care when
opening the appliance door if the top door edge is below their field
of vision.
Foodstuffs may also be liquid, or liquify 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.
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.
Contact with cleaning chemicals
The microwave combination oven must be cleaned using special cleaning chemicals. This poses a risk from cleaning chemicals,
some of which can cause skin burns.
