    INSTALLER’S GUIDE 1 A P P L I A N C E D A T A This product uses a burner compartment rear wall and gaskets containing Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.

Consequently, it makes sense to take care when handling these articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum.
