It is not uncommon to experience a small amount of smoke
and odor during the initial start-up. This is due to burning off

of oil from metal parts, and will disappear in a short while.

"AIR" IN HOT WATER FAUCET'S

AWARNING

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in

a hot water system that has not been used for a
long period of time (generally two weeks or more).
Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explo-
sive. TOprevent the possibility of injury under these

conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet be
opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink

VENTINGHOOD
before any electrical appliances which are connect-
ed to the hot water system are used (such as a dish-

washer or washing machine). If hydrogen gas ispre-

sent, there will probably be an unusual sound simi-
lar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot
water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking

or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open. 33
