All Creda heating products manufactured since June 1975 have been asbestos free.
Models produced prior to this date which contain some asbestos are as follows:-

ELECTICAIRE HEATERS (Sometimes referred to as Comfortaire heaters, NOT to be confused with the Comfortair heater (spelling) which was formerly the Redring Sunstore heater)
1) 377 “E” type ( Distinguished by being a grey coloured unit)
2) “S” Type heater (Distinguished by being a chimney breast Shape)
3) “SF 6” Type (Chimney Breast)
4) “SB Type” (Chimney Breast)
Notes. The above storage/storage fan heaters and E Type Heaters contained medium density semi rigid insulation slabs of “Caposil HTI”, situated more normally as base insulation of the corebox containing the storage bricks. This material contained 10/15% brown asbestos (Ammosite), the balance being harmless calcium silicate.
Some of the heaters also contained a piece of Asbestolux (Asbestos cement board). This contained 16/25% brown asbestos and a small unquantified amount of white asbestos (Chrysolite).
The “S”, “SF6”, and “SB” Electricaire heaters contain a small sheet of “Viceroy” (Asbestos paper and aluminium foil corrugations 1” thick) in the warm air unit where the fans would be situated), either side of the fan unit.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT ALL OF THE ABOVE HEATERS ARE COMPLETELY SAFE IN NORMAL USE
Early models 71041/71051/71061 are asbestos free.
