Warning
This warning is presented for compliance with
California Proposition 65 and other regulatory
agencies and only applies to the insulation in
this product. This product contains refractory
ceramic, refractory ceramic fiber or fiberglass
insulation, which can produce respirable dust or
fibers during disassembly. Dust or fibers can
cause irritation and can aggravate pre-existing
respiratory diseases. Refractory ceramic and
refractory ceramic fibers (after reaching 1000°C)
contain crystalline silica, which can cause lung
damage (silicosis). The International Agency for
Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified
refractory ceramic fiber and fiberglass as possi-
bly carcinogenic (Group 2B), and crystalline sili-
ca as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
The insulating materials can be located in the
door, the hearth collar, in the chamber of the
product or under the hot plate top. Tests per-
formed by the manufacturer indicate that there
is no risk of exposure to dust or respirable fibers
resulting from operation of this product under
normal conditions. However, there may be a risk
of exposure to respirable dust or fibers when
repairing or maintaining the insulating materials,
or when otherwise disturbing them in a manner
which causes release of dust or fibers. By using
proper handling procedures and protective
equipment you can work safely with these insu-
lating materials and minimize any exposure.
Refer to the appropriate Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) for information regarding proper
handling and recommended protective equip-
ment. For additional MSDS copies, or additional
information concerning the handling of refracto-
ry ceramic products, please contact the
Customer Service Department at 1-800-438-4851.
