FITTING THE CERAMIC COMPONENTS
WARNING
This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF),
which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres along with fibrous glass and mineral
wool. Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary irritation to
eyes, skin and respiratory tract, consequently, it makes sense to take care when
handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
CAUTION
All the ceramic components are fragile and should be handled with care.
