This appliance contains materials made from refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). Airborne RCF, when
inhaled, have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), as a
possible carcinogen to humans. After the RCF materials have been exposed to temperatures above
1800°F (980°C), they can change into crystalline silica, which has been classified by the IARC as
carcinogenic to humans. If particles become airborne during service or repair, inhalation of these
particles may be hazardous to your health.
Suppliers of RCF recommend the following precautions be taken when handling these materials:
Precautionary Measures:
Provide adequate ventilation.
Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.
Wear long sleeved, loose fitting clothing and gloves to prevent skin contact.
Wear eye goggles.
Minimize airborne dust prior to handling and removal by water misting the material and avoiding
unnecessary disturbance of materials.
Wash work clothes separately from others. Rinse washer thoroughly after use.
Discard RCF materials by sealing in an airtight plastic bag.
First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: If breathing difficulty or irritation occurs, move to a location with fresh clean air. Seek
immediate medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area gently with a mild soap and warm water. Seek immediate medical
attention if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. Do not rub eyes. Seek
immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Drink 1 to 2 glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
This product burns gas to produce heat. The appliance must be properly installed, operated, and maintained
to avoid exposure to appreciable levels of carbon monoxide and the installer is required to confirm that at
