WATERHEATERSAFETY

I OM'N

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been

used for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

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 allow 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.

Use thisappliance only for its intended purpose as describedin this Owner's Manual
