WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be
followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or
loss of life.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced
in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks
or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these
circumstances.
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 allowing 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.
