22. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in more than 2 weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under certain circumstances. If this is the case, before using the washer, turn on all the hot water faucet’s and let the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let the trapped hydrogen escape. During this process do not turn on an electric appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use a flame to avoid an accident, as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.
