Danger that may arise from the Nordmann Omega steam generator
DANGER!
Danger of electric hazard!
The Nordmann Omega is mains powered. Live parts may be exposed when the unit is open.
Touching live parts may cause severe injury or danger to life.
Prevention: Before carrying out any work set the Nordmann Omega out of operation as described in
chapter4.6 (switch off the unit, disconnect it from the mains and stop the water supply) and secure
the unit against inadvertent power-up.
WARNING!
Hot water vapour - Danger of scalding!
The Nordmann Omega produces hot water vapour. There is danger of scalding when coming
in contact with hot water vapour.
Prevention: Do not carry out any work on the steam system during operation (steam lines, steam
distributor, etc.). If the steam system is leaky set the Nordmann Omega immediately out of operation as
described in chapter4.6. Correctly seal the steam system before putting the unit into operation again.
WARNING!
Danger of burning!
During operation the components of the steam system (steam tank, steam distributor, etc.) get
very hot (up to 100 °C). There is danger of burning when touching the hot components.
Prevention: Before carrying out any work on the steam system set the Nordmann Omega out of
operation as described in chapter4.6, then wait until the components have cooled down sufciently
thus preventing danger of burning.
Preventing unsafe operation
If it is suspected that safe operation is no longer possible, the Nordmann Omega should immediately
be shut down and secured against accidental power-up according to chapter4.6. This can be the
case under the following circumstances:
– if the Nordmann Omega is damaged
– if the electrical installations are damaged
– if the Nordmann Omega is no longer operating correctly
– if connections and/or piping are not sealed
All persons working with the Nordmann Omega must report any alterations to the unit that may affect
safety to the owner without delay.
Prohibited modications to the unit
No modications must be undertaken on the Nordmann Omega without the express written consent
of Nordmann.
