5.4 CAUTION: WATER REPLENISHMENT
Avoid unnecessary replenishment of system water. It can allow oxygen to enter the system and cause
serious corrosion problems. As well, an excessive amount of minerals may be deposited in the heat
exchanger. Do not draw water from the heating system for cleaning, flushing, etc.
Any audible sounds in the boiler system may be indications of scaling or lack of sufficient water flow and
the system should be checked without delay. Scaling is due to improper maintenance. It is not the fault of
the boiler. Scale damage is not covered by warranty.
5.5 REFRACTORY HANDLING PROCEDURE
WARNING
The mineral block and fiberglass wool used in this product are RCFs (Refractory Ceramic
Fibers). RCFs pose a possible cancer hazard by inhalation and can cause respiratory, skin and
eye irritation.
After mineral block has been fired, it will produce increased levels of nuisance dust and poses
increased carcinogenic risk.
Follow the precautionary measures below before attempting service or access.

Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves and eye protection.
•
Wash work clothes separately from other clothing. Rinse washer thoroughly.
•
Operations such as sawing, blowing, tearout and spraying may generate airborne fiber concentration
requiring additional protection.
•
Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter for clean up.
•
Dispose of all RCF scrap and dust in a closed airtight plastic bag.
FIRST AID MEASURES:
• Eye contact – Flush eyes with water to remove dust for at least 15 minutes. If irritation persists, seek
