FUELBEDS, ARTIFICIAL FUEL
This product uses fuel effect Pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), which are man-
made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation
to eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these
articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation
and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot
accumulated in and around the fire before and after working on the fire. When replacing these
articles we recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty
polythene bags, clearly labelled as RCF waste. This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may
be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is
not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of
not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or
drinking.
INSULATION and SEALS
Ceramic fibre and glass fibre used in insulation panels rope and gaskets.
These can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract.
If you have a history of skin complaint you may be susceptible to irritation. High dust levels are
usual only if the material is broken.
Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow normal good hygiene and wash your hands
before eating, drinking or going to the lavatory.
If you do suffer irritation to the eyes or severe irritation to the skin seek medical attention.
