GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Indications concerning residual risks
Even though the rules for "good manufacturing practice" and the provisions of law which regulate manufacturing
and marketing of the product have been implemented, "residual risks" still remain which, due to the very nature of
the appliance, it has not been possible to eliminate. These risks include:
Residual risk of electrocution:
Such risk persists if you have to operate electrical and/or electronic devices under
voltage.
Residual risk of burning:
Such risk persists if the operator comes accidentally into contact with materials at
high temperature.
Residual risk of burning due to material leak
Such risk persists if the operator comes accidentally into contact with leaking mate-
rial at high temperature. Overfilled containers with liquids and/or solids that change
morphology during heating (switching from solid to liquid state), may cause burns, if
used improperly. During work, the containers should be placed at levels that ensure
good visibility.
Residual risk of explosion
• if there is gas odour in the room;
• use of the equipment in atmosphere containing substances at risk of explosion;
• use of foodstuff in close containers (such as barrels and boxes), that are not suita-
ble for such purpose.
Residual risk of fire
This risk remains when:
• using with flammable liquids (such as alcohol).
What to do when there is a gas odour in the area
If there is a smell of gas in the environment, it is mandatory to urgently imple-
ment the procedures described below.
Immediately stop the gas supply (Close
•
the network tap, detail A).
Ventilate the room immediately.
•
Do not operate any electrical device in
•
the environment (Detail B-C-D).
Do not operate any device which could
•
produce sparks or flames (Detail B-C-D).
Use a means of communication that is
•
external to the environment where the-
re is a smell of gas to warn the relevant
entities (electricity operator and/or fire-
fighters).
