XV. Service and Maintenance
WARNING:
The Repair Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). RCF has been classified as a possible
human carcinogen. When exposed to temperature above 1805 °F, such as during direct flame contact, RCF changes
into crystaline silica, a know carcinogen. When disturbed as a result of servicing or repair, these substances became
airborne and, if inhaled, may be hazardous to your health.
Do not remove or replace RCF parts or attempt any service or repair work involving RCF without
Precautionary Measures:
wearing the following protective gears:
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 area gently with soap and water after contact.
• Wash work clothes separately from other laundry and rinse washing machine after use to avoid contaminating
other clothing.
• Discard used RCF components by sealing in an airtight plastic bag. RCF and crystalline silica are not classified
as hazardous wastes in the United State and Canada.
First Aid Procedures:
• If contact with eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek immediate medical attention if irritation
persists.
• If contact with skin: Wash affected area gently with soap and water. Seek immediate medical attention if
irritation persists.
• If breathing difficulty develops: Leave the area and move to a location with clean fresh air. Seek immediate
medical attention if breathing difficulties persist.
• Ingestion: Do NOT induce vomiting. Drink plenty of water. Seek immediate medical attention.
