we hereby provide the following information on
substances hazardous to health. Product range

12.2 Cautionary
note
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.
