handling the fire.

- Use gloves to provide additional grip.
- Always use assistance if required.
This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment walls containing Refractory
Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure
to these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract. Consequently,
it is important 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 you use a HEPA
filtered vacuum to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before
and after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the
replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag,
clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-reactive hazardous
waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept such waste. Protective
clothing is not required when handling these articles, but we recommend you follow the
normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always
wash your hands before eating or drinking. This appliance does not contain any
component manufactured from asbestos or asbestos related products.
