WATER HEATER SAEETY
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks

If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of tlamage oi' injury by tnriring on
all hot water farrcets and allowing them to mn for several mimrtes. Do this before using any electrical appliance
which is connected to the hot water sssitem. 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 dur ing this process.
