•Coal set -The coal set contains Refractory Ceramic Fibres (R.C.F), which are man made vitreous silicate fibres.

This should be performed

before and after the installation. It is recommended that any replacement item(s) are not broken up but sealed within a heavy duty polythene bag and clearly labelled "R.C.F. waste". This is not classified as "hazardous waste" and may be disposed of at a tipping site licensed for the disposal of industrial waste. Protective clothing is not required when handling these items but it is recommended that gloves are worn and

normal hygiene rules are followed. Always wash your hands before eating or drinking.

•In the event of a gas emergency, consult the telephone directory and ask for your local
