SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

Construction materials of appliance and

products of combustion and fuel contain

alumina, silica, heavy metals, carbon monoxide,

nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and /or other toxic

or harmful substances which can cause death or

serious injury and which are known to the State

of California to cause cancer, birth defects and

other reproductive harm� Always use proper

safety clothing, respirators and equipment when

servicing or working nearby the appliance�

WARNING

Combustion chamber insulation in this product

contains ceramic ber material. Ceramic bers

can be converted to cristobalite in very high

temperature applications� The International

Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has

concluded, Crystalline silica inhaled in the

form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational

sources is carcinogenic to humans (Group1)�

Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and

eyes. Use NIOSH certied dust respirator (N95).

This type of respirator is based on the OSHA

requirements for cristobalite at the time this

document was written� Other types of respirators

may be needed depending on the job site

conditions� Current NIOSH recommendations can

be found on the NIOSH website https://www�cdc�

gov/niosh/topics/silica/� approved respirators,

manufacturers, and phone numbers are also

listed on this website� Wear long-sleeved, loose

tting clothing, gloves, and eye protection. Apply

enough water to the combustion chamber lining

to prevent dust� Wash potentially contaminated

clothes separately from other clothing� Rinse

clothes washer thoroughly�

NIOSH stated First Aid� Eye: Irrigate immediately�

Breathing: Fresh air�

WARNING

This prod

uct contains Fibrous glass� Fibrous

glass is a synthetic ber made from tiny particles

of glass. Fibrous glass has been classied as a

possible human carcinogen� When disturbed as a

result of servicing or repair, brous glass becomes

airborne and, if inhaled, may be hazardous to

your health� It can harm the eyes, skin, and the

lungs. Airborne bers from these materials have

been listed by the State of California as a possible

cause of cancer through inhalation� Adhere

to the following precautions and procedures�

Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and

eyes. Use NIOSH certied dust respirator (e.g.,

N95)� Other types of respirators may be needed

depending on the job site conditions� Current

NIOSH recommendations can be found on the

NIOSH website https://www�cdc�gov/niosh/�

Approved respirators, manufacturers, and phone

numbers are also listed on this website� Wear

appropriate personal protective clothing to

prevent skin contact, as well as gloves and eye

protection� Wash skin daily at end of each work

shift, and prior to eating, drinking, smoking,

etc� Workers whose clothing may have been

contaminated should change into uncontaminated

clothing before leaving the work premises� Wash

potentially contaminated clothes separately from

other clothing� Rinse clothes washer thoroughly�

Follow all Local, State and Federal guidelines for

disposal�
