General Installation Requirements - Valor 961 Installation And Owner's Manual

This product uses fuel effect pieces and burner compartment walls containing
Refractory Ceramic Fibres (RCF), which are man-made vitreous silicate fibres.
Excessive exposure to these materials may cause irritation to eyes, skin and
respiratory tract. Consequently, it is important to take care when handling these
articles to ensure that the release of dust is kept to a minimum. To ensure that
the release of fibres from these RCF articles is kept to a minimum, during
installation and servicing we recommend that you use a HEPA filtered vacuum
to remove any dust and soot accumulated in and around the fire before and
after working on the fire. When replacing these articles we recommend that the
replaced items are not broken up, but are sealed within a heavy duty polythene
bag, clearly labelled as RCF waste. RCF waste is classed as a stable, non-
reactive hazardous waste and may be disposed at a landfill licensed to accept
such waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these articles,
but we recommend you follow the normal hygiene rules of not smoking, eating
or drinking in the work area and always wash your hands before eating or
drinking. This appliance does not contain any component manufactured from
asbestos or asbestos related products.
