Product Safety Information
Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product
This appliance contains materials made from refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). Airborne RCF
fibers, 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, 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.
Avoid Breathing Fiber Particulates and Dust

rials:
Precautionary Measures:
Provide adequate ventilation.
Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.
Wear long sleeved, loose fitting clothing and gloves to prevent skin contact.

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.
