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
User manual 25
Page 26
3 For your safety
Hot liquids
Foodstuffs are cooked in the combi steamer. These foodstuffs may also be liquid, or liquefy during
cooking. This poses:
■
A risk of scalding from hot liquids, which may be spilled if not dealt with properly
Live parts (3)
The combi steamer contains live parts. This poses:
■
A risk from live parts if the cover is not in place
■
A risk of electric shock if the combi steamer is cleaned externally using a hand shower
Fan (4)
The combi steamer contains either one or two fan wheels, depending on the appliance size. This
poses:
■
A risk of hand injuries from the fan wheel in the cooking chamber behind the suction panel if the
suction panel is not fitted in place properly
Contact with cleaning agents
The combi steamer must be cleaned using special cleaning agents. This poses:
■
A risk from cleaning agents, some of which can cause skin burns
Parts moving against each other (5)
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.
Hand shower (6)
There is a hand shower on the combi steamer that can result in various hazards:
■
A risk of scalding if water is sprayed into the hot cooking chamber using the hand shower, e.g. for
cleaning
■
A risk of scalding when the combi steamer is located in the immediate vicinity of equipment for
heating liquid fat, and water is sprayed into this equipment with the hand shower
■
A risk of scalding if a container of hot fat is standing in the cooking chamber into which water is
sprayed with the hand shower
■
A risk of electric shock if the combi steamer is cleaned externally using the hand shower
Break in the cold chain
The cold chain of chilled food may be broken if food is placed in the cooking chamber ahead of time,
e.g. when using a start time preset for the cooking program, or if cooking is interrupted. This poses:
■
A risk to your guests from microbiological contamination of foodstuffs
Gas (7)
This combi steamer is a gas appliance. This poses additional hazards:
■
Explosion hazard if a gas pipe is faulty or leaking
■
A risk of burns from hot exhaust gas at the exhaust outlet
■
A fire risk from hot exhaust gas above the gas appliance
■
A risk of lack of oxygen in the kitchen if a burner is poorly adjusted, there is an insufficient supply
of air for combustion and/or insufficient removal of exhaust gas extraction system.

the information contained in the chapter 'For your safety' on page 21 and make relevant safety ar‐
rangements.
Instruct your personnel to learn the safe-working rules given in this section before starting work, and to
follow them strictly.
Instruct your personnel to familiarize themselves with the hazard warnings listed in this section and in
further instructions below, and instil in them the importance of taking the specified precautions.
Personal protective equipment for your personnel
Instruct your personnel to wear the correct personal protective equipment specified in the section 'Per‐
sonal protective equipment' on page 41 of the 'For your safety' chapter for the relevant tasks.
On smelling gas
If you smell gas, take the following actions:
■
Cut off the gas supply immediately.
■
Ventilate the room carefully.
■
Do not operate any electrical equipment. Do not create a spark.
■
Evacuate the building.
■
Notify the gas utility company and if necessary the fire brigade using a phone located outside the
hazardous area.
Basic rules for safe operation
If it is known or evident that the combi steamer has been moved after installation without authorization
(whether intentionally or unintentionally), the appliance must not be put back into service until all the
following requirements have been met:
■
The appliance and fittings or accessories being used show no signs of damage.
■
The installed electrical power cables, water supply pipes and pipes for wastewater and cleaning
products show no signs of damage, are fixed securely, are not leaking from any point and appear
safe and in working order on visual inspection.
■
The 'Requirements relating to the operating condition of the combi steamer' on page 22 are met.
■
The 'Requirements relating to the operating environment of the combi steamer' on page 22 are
met.
■
All warning signs are in their designated position.
On gas appliances only:
■
A gas service engineer has leak-tested all the gas components in the combi steamer and con‐
firmed that all connection and supply points for these gas components, inside and outside the ap‐
pliance, are gastight.
Rules for safe operation of table-top units
To avoid hazards, the following rules must be observed during operation:
■
The air vent and exhaust outlet and the ventilation port on the top of the appliance, and the ventila‐
tion holes in the appliance base must not be covered, obstructed or blocked.
■
The racks must be attached securely.
■
The food containers must be inserted correctly in accordance with the rules on page 42 for an ap‐
pliance of size X.10 and
■
The suction panel must be locked properly in place.
on page 44 for an appliance of size X.20.
User manual 47
Page 48
4 Cooking procedures
Additional rules for safe operation of table-top units on a mobile platform
To avoid hazards, the following rules must be observed when operating appliances positioned on a
wheeled platform:
■
The retaining device for restricting the range of movement of the assembly (platform plus appli‐
ance) must be connected at all times.
Check every day before use that the retaining device is connected.
■
The parking brakes on the front wheels must always be engaged when operating the appliances.
■
Check that the wheel brakes are on before operation each day.
Hot surfaces
Risk of burns from high temperatures inside the cooking chamber and on the inside of the appliance
door
You may get burnt if you touch any of the interior parts of the cooking chamber, the inside of the
appliance door or any parts that are or were inside the oven during cooking mode.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Hot steam / vapour
Risk of scalding from hot steam and vapour
Escaping hot steam and vapour can cause scalding to face, hands, feet and legs.
When opening the appliance door, always use the venting position as specified in the instructions
for safe opening, and never put your head inside the cooking chamber.
When cooling the cooking chamber using the 'Cool down' function, step back from the appliance to
avoid the hot steam and vapour that escape through the open appliance door.
Break in the cold chain
Risk of microbiological contamination of foods by breaking the cold chain
If the food is placed in the cooking chamber ahead of time or if cooking is interrupted, the cold chain of
chilled foodstuffs may be broken.
When planning the time at which food is placed in the cooking chamber, e.g. when using a start
time preset for the cooking program, always ensure there is no break in the cold chain.
Never use the appliance for temporary storage of food.
Never intentionally interrupt the cooking process.
Once the appliance is running again after a power failure, consider how the length of time taken to
resume operation will affect the food condition.
Only qualified staff are allowed to perform low-temperature cooking (< 65 °C).
Micro-organism growth at 30 - 65 °C
Risk of food going bad as a result of micro-organism growth in a warm environment (temperature
range 30 – 65 °C)
When the appliance is being used for holding food at temperature or low-temperature cooking, placing
cold food in the cooking chamber may reduce the temperature in the cooking chamber so far that
micro-organisms can grow to a critical level.
Never place cold food in the appliance while it is in use for low-temperature cooking or for holding
food at temperature.
Reduce the number of micro-organisms on the food before low-temperature cooking, for instance
by searing.
Only qualified staff are allowed to perform low-temperature cooking (< 65 °C).
User manual 48

Escaping gas
Risk of explosion from escaping gas
Escaping gas can ignite and cause an explosion.
Never move the appliance during use
For appliances on a wheeled platform with flexible supply pipe, in order to secure the appliance in
place, make sure that the retaining device which restricts the range of movement of the platform
plus appliance is connected.
Lack of oxygen
Risk of suffocation from lack of breathable air
Inadequate ventilation at the installation location can lead to suffocation while the appliance is running.
Do not obstruct lower area of appliance.
Only operate the appliance in a draught-free environment
Make sure that the installed ventilation equipment is working properly and meets all the ventilation
regulations specified by the gas installation engineer.
Have the appliance serviced annually.

5.2 Operating principles and instructions for cleaning
5.2.1 Safe working when cleaning
Your safety and the safety of your staff
Before your personnel start working with the combi steamer for the first time, familiarize yourself with
the information contained in the chapter 'For your safety' on page 21 and make relevant safety ar‐
rangements.
Instruct your personnel to learn the safe-working rules given in this section before starting work, and to
follow them strictly.
Instruct your personnel to familiarize themselves with the hazard warnings listed in this section and in
further instructions below, and instil in them the importance of taking the specified precautions.
Personal protective equipment for your personnel
Instruct your personnel to wear the correct personal protective equipment specified in the section 'Per‐
sonal protective equipment' on page 41 of the 'For your safety' chapter for the relevant tasks.
Basic rules for safe operation
If it is known or evident that the combi steamer has been moved after installation without authorization
(whether intentionally or unintentionally), the appliance must not be put back into service until all the
following requirements have been met:
■
The appliance and fittings or accessories being used show no signs of damage.
■
The installed electrical power cables, water supply pipes and pipes for wastewater and cleaning
products show no signs of damage, are fixed securely, are not leaking from any point and appear
safe and in working order on visual inspection.
■
The 'Requirements relating to the operating condition of the combi steamer' on page 22 are met.
■
The 'Requirements relating to the operating environment of the combi steamer' on page 22 are
met.
■
All warning signs are in their designated position.
On gas appliances only:
■
A gas service engineer has leak-tested all the gas components in the combi steamer and con‐
firmed that all connection and supply points for these gas components, inside and outside the ap‐
pliance, are gastight.
Rules for moving and setting up the wheeled base safely
To avoid hazards, the following rules must be observed when moving the wheeled base that carries
the appliances:
■
Before moving, the drain pipe must be disconnected if a fixed wastewater connection is used.
■
Watch out for all connecting cables and pipes when moving appliances. Never wheel over the con‐
necting cables or pipes. Never stretch let alone pull off the connecting cables or pipes. The lengths
of the electrical supply cables and gas and water pipes are chosen to accommodate the range of
movement of the retaining device. Even so, it is essential to watch out for the position and run of all
connecting cables and pipes when moving appliances.
■
The appliances must be disconnected from the electrical supply before moving the stacking kit.
■
The appliances must be left to cool down on the base before being moved.
■
There must not be any food left in the appliances.
■
The appliance doors must be closed.
■
Protective clothing must be worn when moving the base that carries the appliances.
■
At least two people must be used to move the base that carries the appliances.
■
It is important to ensure that the appliance is level once is back in place.
■
Once the unit is back in place, the parking brakes must be engaged again.
■
Whatever the position, care must be taken to ensure that the base carrying the appliance does not
tip over.

5 Cleaning procedures
Spraying down the appliance with water
Risk of electric shock from live parts
Water on the exterior of the appliance can cause a short-circuit, which may result in electric shock on
touching the appliance.
Do not spray the exterior of the appliance with water.
Always keep the USB cover closed during cleaning.
Hot surfaces
Risk of burns from high temperatures on interior and exterior parts of the appliance
You may get burnt if you touch any of the interior parts of the cooking chamber, the inside of the
appliance door or any parts that are or were inside the oven during cooking mode. In addition,
touching the air vent can result in burns.
Wait until the cooking chamber has cooled to below 60 °C before starting cleaning tasks.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Spraying water into a hot cooking chamber
Risk of scalding from hot steam
If water is sprayed into the hot cooking chamber (e.g. using the hand shower), steam will be produced
that may scald.
Wait until the cooking chamber has cooled to below 60 °C before starting cleaning tasks.
Contact with cleaning agents
Risk of chemical burns or irritation to skin, eyes and respiratory system.
Direct contact with the ConvoClean new (S) cleaning agent or ConvoCare (S) rinse aid will irritate the
skin, eyes and respiratory system. Direct contact with the ConvoClean forte (S) cleaning agent will
result in chemical burns to the skin, eyes and respiratory organs.
Do not inhale the vapours or spray mist from the cleaning agent and rinse aid.
Do not let the cleaning agent or rinse aid come into contact with skin, eyes or mucous membranes.
Do not spray cleaning agent or rinse aid into a cooking chamber that is at a temperature of higher
than 60° C, because this will increase the caustic and irritating vapours given off by the cleaning
fluid.
Do not open the appliance door during fully automatic oven cleaning using connected canisters.
During fully automatic oven cleaning using single-measure dispensing, only open the appliance
door after being prompted by the software
Wear personal protective equipment.
User manual 96

5 Cleaning procedures
Contamination with cleaning agents
Risk of food contamination from cleaning agent or rinse aid
The ConvoClean new and ConvoClean forte cleaning agents and the ConvoCare rinse aid (whether in
cleaning-fluid canisters or in single-measure dispensing bottles) will contaminate food through direct
contact or indirect contact from evaporation. This also applies to common household detergents,
common household glass cleaners and common household stainless-steel cleaners.
When using ConvoClean new and ConvoClean forte cleaning agents and ConvoCare rinse aid in
spray bottles, only spray inside the cooking chamber.
For manual cleaning tasks, use a water spray to rinse out again thoroughly any cleaning agent or
rinse aid introduced into the cooking chamber. Alternatively for manual cleaning tasks, use plenty
of clean water and a soft cloth to wipe out thoroughly any cleaning agent or rinse aid introduced
into the cooking chamber.
Use plenty of clean water to wipe off all residues of any cleaning agents used on the inside of the
appliance door, on the hygienic plug-in gasket or on accessories used for cooking.
After manual cleaning tasks, use plenty of clean water to wipe down all the surfaces outside the
cooking chamber on which food will subsequently be prepared and which might have been in
contact with cleaning agents or rinse aid, e.g. by the cleaning agent container being placed on the
surface.
Escaping gas
Risk of explosion from escaping gas
Escaping gas can ignite and cause an explosion.
For appliances on a wheeled platform and with a flexible connection pipe, you can move the
appliance forward within its range of movement when cleaning the case or the floor. The range of
movement is set by the retaining device used to secure the appliance in place (typically 0.5 m).
Never strain the connecting cables or pipes.
