SAFE SERVICING PRACTICES
To avoid the possibility of personal injury and/or
property damage, it is important that safe
servicing practices be observed. The following
are examples, but without limitation, of such
practices:
1. Do not attempt a product repair if you have
any doubts as to your ability to complete it in a
safe and satisfactory manner.
2. Before servicing or moving an appliance:
• remove fuse.
• turn off gas supply.
• turn off water supply.
3. Never interfere with the proper operation of
any safety device.
4. USE ONLY REPLACEMENT PARTS
CATALOGED FOR THIS APPLIANCE.
SUBSTITUTIONS MAY DEFEAT COMPLIANCE
WITH SAFETY STANDARDS SET FOR HOME
APPLIANCES.
5. GROUNDING: The standard color coding for
safety ground wires is GREEN or GREEN with
YELLOW STRIPES. Ground leads are not to be
used as current carrying conductors.
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE
SERVICE TECHNICIAN RE-ESTABLISH ALL
SAFETY GROUNDS PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF
SERVICE. FAILURE TO DO SO WOULD CREATE A
POTENTIAL HAZARD.
6. Prior to returning the product to service ensure
that:
• all electric, gas, and water connections are
correctly and securely connected.
• all gas and water connections are tested for
leaks. DO NOT TEST FOR GAS LEAKS WITH A
FLAME.
• all electrical leads are properly dressed and
secured away from sharp edges,
high-temperature components and moving
parts.
• all uninsulated electrical terminals, connectors,
heaters, etc. have adequate spacing from all
metal parts and panels.
• all safety grounds (both internal and external
to the product) are correctly and securely
connected.
• all panels are properly and securely
reassembled.
CAUTION! When servicing a water-using
appliance in a location where the water supply
has not been in use for an extended time (such
as vacation) open the hot water faucet at the
sink and allow the water to run for several
minutes allowing water and accumulated
hydrogen gas to escape. Make sure there are no
open flames (pilots) or cigarettes near the
faucet.
A lightning flash symbol, within a triangle. is
intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to
persons.
An exclamation point within a triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions
in the literature accompanying the appliance.
