2. APPLIANCE DATA
This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment walls containing
Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these
articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the
release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during installation
and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove any
dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before and after working on the
fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the replaced items are not
broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag, clearly labelled as
RCF waste. This is not classified as “hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a
tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not
required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow the normal
hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash
your hands before eating or drinking.This appliance does not contain any
component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos related products.
