XIV. Service and Maintenance
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.
Precautionary Measures:
Do not remove or replace RCF parts or attempt any service or repair work involving RCF without wearing the fol-
lowing 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 at-
tention 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.
