Important Product Safety Information 
Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product
 
Warning:   
The Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers (RCF).    
RFC has been classified as a possible human carcinogen.  When exposed to 
temperatures about 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact, RFC changes 
into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen.  When disturbed as a result of 
servicing or repair, these substances become airborne and, if inhaled, may be 
hazardous to your health.                                                               
AVOID Breathing Fiber Particulates and Dust 
Precautionary Measures:   
Do not remove or replace RCF parts or attempt any service or repair work 
involving RCF without wearing the following protective gear: 
1.  A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) 
approved respirator 
2.  Long sleeved, loose fitting clothing 
3.  Gloves 
4.  Eye Protection 
•  Take steps to assure adequate ventilation. 
•  Wash all exposed body areas gently with soap and water after contact. 
•  Wash work clothes separately from other laundry and rinse washing 
machine after use to avoid contaminating other clothes.  
•  Discard used RCF components by sealing in an airtight plastic bag.  RCF 
and crystalline silica are not classified as hazardous wastes in the United 
States and Canada.
