COMPONENTS
ADVICE ON HANDLING AND DISPOSAL OF FIRE CERAMICS
The fuel effect and side panels in this appliance are made from
Refractory Ceramic Fibre (RCF), a material which is commonly
used for this application.
Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles,
but we recommend you follow normal hygiene rules of not
smoking, eating or drinking in the work area and always wash your
hands before eating or drinking.
To ensure that the release of RCF fibres are kept to a minimum,
during installation and servicing a HEPA filtered vacuum is
recommended to remove any dust accumulated in and around the
appliance before and after working on it. When servicing the
appliance it is recommended that the replaced items are not
broken up, but are sealed within heavy duty polythene bags and
labelled as RCF waste.
RCF waste is classed as stable, non-reactive hazardous waste and
may be disposed of at a licensed landfill site.
Excessive exposure to these materials may cause temporary
irritation to eyes, skin and respiratory tract; wash hands thoroughly
after handling the material.
NOTE: CERAMIC PARTS ARE FRAGILE. ONLY USE THE SPECIAL
CERAMIC COALS SUPPLIED BY GAZCO - DO NOT USE REAL
COALS.
