Risk of fire
It is recommended to have a CO2 extinguisher in the vicinity of
the machine for use on incipient electrical fire. Properly main-
tain electrical equipment, providing protection systems against
overcurrent and overvoltage. Avoid overloading sockets.
Risk of explosion
Do not place equipment close to heat or exceed the maximum
operating temperature specified by the manufacturer. The re-
frigeration equipment contains pressurised gas and there is a
risk of explosion in the event of overheating.
Risk of flour inhalation
Flour can be a hazard for those working with it. The source
of danger is the fact that these people often breathe in the
flour dust suspended in the air, which can lead to the disease
known as "baker's asthma" as well as other allergic illnesses.
During the different operations, the production of flour dust
should be avoided. In some cases it may be necessary for
the temporary use of personal protective breathing equipment.
Also consult the product safety sheet.
Risk of coolant leak
Keep the premises well ventilated. Steam is heavier than air
and can cause suffocation in high concentrations by reducing
oxygen available for breathing.
Burn Hazard
In some areas inside the cabinet temperatures of 120ºC can
be reached during the machine's operation. Wait 30 minutes
with the unit disconnected and the door opened, to carry out
cleaning tasks inside the cabinet. In the refrigeration system,
temperatures of 120ºC can also be reached (discharge pipe)
as well as temperatures below -10°C (suction pipe). Contact
burns from hot or very cold materials should be rinsed with
cold water at low pressure for 15 minutes.
Risk of slipping
The floor inside the cabinet can be very slippery at the end of
the fermentation process.
