Product Safety Information
Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product
This appliance contains materials made from refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). Airborne RCF, when
inhaled, have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), as a
possible carcinogen to humans. After the RCF materials have been exposed to temperatures above
1800°F (980°C), they can change into crystalline silica, which has been classified by the IARC as
carcinogenic to humans. If particles become airborne during service or repair, inhalation of these
particles may be hazardous to your health.
Avoid Breathing Fiber Particulates and Dust
Suppliers of RCF recommend the following precautions be taken when handling these materials:
Precautionary Measures:
Provide adequate ventilation.
Wear a NIOSH/MSHA approved respirator.
Wear long sleeved, loose fitting clothing and gloves to prevent skin contact.
Wear eye goggles.
Minimize airborne dust prior to handling and removal by water misting the material and avoiding
unnecessary disturbance of materials.
Wash work clothes separately from others. Rinse washer thoroughly after use.
Discard RCF materials by sealing in an airtight plastic bag.
First Aid Procedures:
Inhalation: If breathing difficulty or irritation occurs, move to a location with fresh clean air. Seek
immediate medical attention if symptoms persist.
Skin Contact: Wash affected area gently with a mild soap and warm water. Seek immediate medical
attention if irritation persists.
Eye Contact: Flush eyes with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids apart. Do not rub eyes. Seek
immediate medical attention if irritation persists.
Ingestion: Drink 1 to 2 glasses of water. Do not induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention.
A. GENERAL
1. Disconnect this boiler from the gas supply piping
during any pressure testing of the gas system.
2. Check pipes adjacent to cold walls or in unheated
spaces. Insulate and tape them if necessary to be
sure they can’t freeze up. Keeping the water moving
at all times will reduce the likelihood of freezing.
3. If there is considerable foreign matter in the boiler
water, the boiler should be shut down and allowed to
cool, then drained and thoroughly flushed out. Use
the drain valve at the bottom of the right side to
drain the boiler. Pipe the drain cock to a suitable
drain or containment device (if antifreeze is used).
Flush the system to remove remaining matter. If there
is evidence that hard scale has formed on the
internal surfaces, the boiler should be cleaned by
chemical means as prescribed by a qualified water
treatment specialist.
4. There must be no signs of continuous wetness at the
chimney. If signs of continuous wetness are observed,
a qualified service agency must be consulted to
modify the vent configuration to prevent the formation
of condensate, which may damage the vent pipe.
B. DAILY MAINTENANCE (WITH BOILER
OPERATING)
Daily boiler observation can be performed by the owner.
If any potential problems are found, a qualified installer
or service technician/agency must be notified.
1. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline and
other flammable liquids and substances that generate
flammable vapors from the area where the boiler is
contained. Make certain that the boiler area has
ample air for combustion and ventilation and that
there are no obstructions to the free flow of air to
and from the boiler.
