~
Please be aware that the
washer-disinfector may be operating at
high temperatures. If the door is
opened with the emergency release
cord, there is a danger or burning,
scalding or chemical burning or if
disinfecting agents are used there is a
danger of inhaling toxic vapours.
~
Where there is a risk of toxic or
chemical substances occuring in the
suds solution (e.g. aldehyde in the
disinfecting agent), it is essential to
regularly check door seals and make
sure that the steam condenser is
functioning correctly.
Opening the machine door during a
programme interruption carries
particular risks in such circumstances.
~
Should personnel accidentally come
into contact with toxic vapours or
chemical agents, follow the emergency
instructions given in the manufacturer's
safety data sheets.
~
Mobile units, modules, inserts and
the load must be allowed to cool down
before unloading the machine. Any
water remaining in containers could still
be very hot. Empty them into the wash
cabinet before taking them out.
~
After using the hot air drying unit,
open the door to allow everything in the
cabinet from the load itself to the
mobile units, modules and inserts to
cool down.
~
Do not touch the heating elements if
you open the door directly after the end
of a programme; you could burn
yourself. They remain hot for some time
after the end of the programme.
