This product uses fuel effect pieces containing Refractory Ceramic Fibre
(RCF). This material contains man-made vitreous silicate fibres. 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.
To ensure that the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a
minimum, during installation and servicing we recommend that a HEPA
filtered vacuum cleaner is used to remove any dust accumulated in and
around the appliance before and after working on the appliance. We
recommend that any replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed
within heavy duty polythene bags and clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF
waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and may be
disposed of at landfill sites licensed to accept such waste. Protective
clothing is not required when handling these articles but we recommend
that the normal hygiene rules are followed of not smoking, eating or
drinking in the work area and that hands are washed before eating or
drinking.
The appliance should be serviced at least once a year by a registered
engineer and must include changing the oxypilot as a condition of the
guarantee. This is the basic procedure.

done by gently brushing with a soft brush in a direction away from the person
