' HYDROGEN GAS can be produced
and can build up in a water heater and
hot water pipes if you have not used
hot water for a period of two weeks
or more, HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE
EXPLOSIVE UNDER THESE CIR­
CUMSTANCES. So to prevent the
possibility of damage or injury we rec­

hot water faucet and allow it to run
several minutes b e f o r e using your
dishwasher or any other electrical

water system that has not been in use.
This will altow any hydrogen to escape,
and if the gas is present, there may be
an unusual hissing or sputtering sound
as the gas escapes from the faucet as
the hot water begins to flow. There
should be no smoking or open flame
near the faucet at the time it is open.
