4. INSTALLATION

A WARNING: This unit contains refractory ceramic
fiber (RCF) insulation in the combustion chamber. RCF,
as manufactured, does not contain respirable crystalline
silica. However, following sustained exposure to very
high temperatures >2192°F (1200°C), the RCF can
transform into crystalline silica (cristabolite). The
International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has
classified the inhalation of crystalline silica (cristabolite)
as carcinogenic to humans.
When removing the burner or heat exchanger, take
precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and avoid
inhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills, use wet
sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA)
filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust. Use feasible
engineering controls such as local exhaust ventilation
or dust collecting systems to minimize airborne dust.
Wear appropriate personal
including gloves, safety glasses with side shields, and
appropriate NIOSH-certified
to avoid inhalation of airborne dust and airborne fiber
particles.
