13. HEALTH AND SAFETY STATEMENT
Health and Safety Information for the Installer and Commissioning-Service Engineer

provide the following information on substances hazardous to health.
Product range reference: "UCA"
13.1 During first firing some smoking may occur, this
is due to the burning off of protective/lubricating
oils used during appliance production. Most of
this will have been removed during the
production testing process. It is a wise
precaution to ensure that adequate ventilation
is provided during the initial firing and
throughout the commissioning period, this is
particularly important if the discharge air is to
blow into a confined space. This smoking does
not constitute a poison hazard.

copper is not employed in gas carrying
components; solder which has a melting point
