WARNING
The Service Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). RCF has been classified
as a possible human carcinogen. When exposed to temperatures above 1805°F, such as during direct flame
contact, RCF changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen. When disturbed as a result of servicing,
these substances become airborne and, if inhaled, may be hazardous to your health.
