3. Always wear safety glasses or a safety shield and high temperature gloves when loading or
unloading the furnace. Long sleeved, fire retardant clothing and a fire retardant apron is also
recommended.
Warning
This warning is presented for compliance with California Proposition 65 and other regulatory agencies
and only applies to the insulation in this product. This product contains refractory ceramic, refractory
ceramic fiber or fiberglass insulation, which can produce respirable dust or fibers during disassembly.
Dust or fibers can cause irritation and can aggravate pre-existing respiratory diseases. Refractory
ceramic and refractory ceramic fibers (after reaching 1000°C) contain crystalline silica, which can cause
lung damage (silicosis). The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified
refractory ceramic fiber and fiberglass as possibly carcinogenic (Group 2B), and crystalline silica as
carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).
The insulating materials can be located in the door, the hearth collar, in the chamber of the product or
under the hot plate top. Tests performed by the manufacturer indicate that there is no risk of exposure
to dust or respirable fibers resulting from operation of this product under normal conditions. However,
there may be a risk of exposure to respirable dust or fibers when repairing or maintaining the insulating
materials, or when otherwise disturbing them in a manner which causes release of dust or fibers. By
using proper handling procedures and protective equipment you can work safely with these insulating
materials and minimize any exposure. Refer to the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for
information regarding proper handling and recommended protective equipment. For additional
MSDS copies, or additional information concerning the handling of refractory ceramic products,
please contact the Customer Service Department at 1-800-438-4851.
