WARNING
THIS FURNACE CONTAINS REFRACTORY CERAMIC INSULATION WHICH CAN PRODUCE RESPIRA-
BLE FIBERS AND DUST WHEN HANDLED. THESE FIBERS CAN CAUSE IRRITATION AND CAN AGGRA-
VATE PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY DISEASE. THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON
CANCER (IARC) HAS CLASSIFIED REFRACTORY CERAMIC FIBER AS POSSIBLY CARCINOGENIC.
AFTER SERVICE REFRACTORY CERAMIC FIBER DUST MAY CONTAIN CRYSTALLINE SILICA, WHICH
MAY CAUSE LUNG DAMAGE (SILICOSIS) AND WHICH HAS BEEN CLASSED BY IARC AS A PROBABLE
CARCINOGEN.
The refractory ceramic materials are located in the hearth collar and in the chamber of the furnace. Tests per-
formed by the manufacturer indicate that there is no significant risk of exposure to dust or respirable refracto-
ry ceramic fiber resulting from operation of the equipment under normal conditions. However, there may be a
risk of exposure to respirable refractory ceramic dust or fiber when repairing or maintaining the insulating ma-
terials, or when otherwise disturbing the materials in a manner which causes release of dust or fibers there-
from. Through the use of proper handling procedures you can work safely with these insulating materials and
minimize any exposure. Accordingly, before you repair or replace any insulating materials, or perform any oth-
er servicing on this product which could disturb or cause exposure to dust from insulating materials, you
should consult the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS’s) for such products with respect to proper
handling and appropriate protective equipment. For additional MSDS’s, or additional information concerning
the handling of refractory ceramic products, please contact the Customer Service Department of Barnstead
International.
