AFETY INFORMATION
Please note the following WARNINGS:
WARNING
This warning is presented for compliance with California Proposition 65 and other regulatory agencies and
only applies to the insulation in this product. This product contains refractory ceramic, refractory ceramic fiber
or fiberglass insulation, which can produce respirable dust or fibers during disassembly. Dust or fibers can
cause irritation and can aggravate preexisting respiratory diseases. Refractory ceramic and refractory ceramic
fibers (after reaching 1000°C) contain crystalline silica, which can cause lung damage (silicosis). The Interna-
tional Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified refractory ceramic fiber and fiberglass as possi-
bly carcinogenic (Group 2B), and crystalline silica as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
The insulating materials can be located in the lid, the hearth collar, and in the heating chamber of the product.
Tests performed by the manufacturer indicate that there is no risk of exposure to dust or respirable fibers
resulting from operation of this product under normal conditions. However, there may be a risk of exposure to
respirable dust or fibers when repairing or maintaining the insulating materials, or when otherwise disturbing
them in a manner which causes release of dust or fibers. By using proper handling procedures and protective
equipment you can work safely with these insulating materials and minimize any exposure. Refer to the
appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for information regarding proper handling and recommended
protective equipment. For MSDS copies, or additional information concerning the handling of refractory
ceramic products, please contact the Customer Service Department at 1-800-KERR-123 or 1-714-516-7400.
