RCF Advice:
This product may use Components (Coals, Pebbles, Driftwood & Ceramic backs)
containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous
silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this material may cause irritation to eyes,
skin and respiratory tract.
Therefore 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, to ensure that the release of fibres from
these RCF articles is kept to a minimum.
We recommend that you should follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking,
eating or drinking in the work area.
When replacing Components containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), we
recommend that the replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within
heavy duty polythene bags, and clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste may
be disposed of in suitably licensed landfill sites.
