    Diagnostics Emergency door opening WARNING ABOUT OPENING THE DOOR IN EMERGENCY WARNING! High pressure. Risk of explosion, jet of hot steam, sudden opening of the door. Carry out the following procedure only if necessary and only when NO RESIDUAL PRESSURE IS IN THE CHAMBER. Any attempt to open the door while the unit is still hot or under pressure could expose the operator and the surrounding personnel to serious risk.
