WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or
more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury
by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before
using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple procedure will
allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke or use an open
flame or appliance during this process.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
