SECTION 11 HEALTH & SAFETY STATEMENT

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.
