Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a

hot water system that has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN
GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for such a
period, before using the washer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water
flow from each for several minutes. This will release any accumulated
hydrogen gas. Hydrogen gas isflammable; do not smoke or use an open
flame during this time.

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
