Important Product Safety Information
Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product
WARNING
The Service Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic bers (RCF). RCF has been classied
as a possible human carcinogen. When exposed to temperatures above 1805°F, such as during direct ame
contact, RCF changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen. When disturbed as a result of servicing, 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 work involving RCF without
wearing the following protective gear:
1. A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) approved

• 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 classied as hazardous wastes in the United States and
Canada.
