1. APPLIANCE D ATA
1.1 This product uses a fuel effect piece containing
Refractory Cer amic Fibres (RCF ), which are man-made
vitreous silicate fibres. Excessive exposure to this
material ma y c a use temporary ir ritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Consequently, it makes sense to take
care when h andlin g th is article to en su re that the relea se
of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that the release
of fibres from this RCF article is kept to a minimum,
during installation and servicing we recommend that you
use a HEPA fi ltered vacu um to remove any dust and
soot accumulated in and around the fire before and after
working on the fire. When replacing this article we
recommend tha t the replaced i tem i s n o t br ok en up, but
is sealed with in a heavy duty polythene bag, c learly
labelled as RCF waste. This is not classified as
“hazardous waste” and may be disposed of at a tipping
site lic ensed for t he disposal of industri al waste.
Protective clothing is not required when handling this
article, 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
manufac tu red from asbestos or asbestos rela ted
products.
