Abstract (en)

A household apparatus is described, comprising a hydraulic circuit within which a fluid is present during the apparatus operation, said fluid being susceptible of reaching potentially dangerous temperatures, an aperture (2) normally closed by movable closure means (3) being provided for the access to said circuit. According to the invention, a sensor-actuator device (6;6A;6B) is provided, being sensitive to the temperature of said fluid and operable in function of such a temperature, for preventing the opening of the closure means (3) when the temperature of the fluid is higher than a predetermined threshold, and allowing the opening of said closure means (3) when the temperature of the fluid is lower than said predetermined threshold. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
