WARNING:
Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause
severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage if ignored.
CAUTION:
Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause
minor personal injury or product or property damage if ignored.
NOTE:
Indicates special instructions on installation, operation, or maintenance which
are important but not related to personal injury hazards.
DANGER:

WARNINGS
Pay Attention to These Terms
4
WARNING:
This unit contains refractory ceramic
fiber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber.
RCF, as manufactured, does not contain respirable
crystalline silica. However, following sustained
exposure to very high temperatures (>2192F), the
RCF can transform into crystalline silica
(cristabolite). The International Agency for Research
on Cancer (IARC) has classified the inhalation of
crystalline silica (cristabolite) as carcinogenic to
humans.
When removing the burners or heat exchangers,
take precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and
avoid inhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills,
use wet sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air
(HEPA) filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust.
Use feasible engineering controls such as local
exhaust ventilation or dust collecting systems to
minimize airborne dust. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment including gloves, safety
glasses with side shields, and appropriate NIOSH
certified respiratory protection, to avoid inhalation of
airborne dust and airborne fiber particles.
