Pre-installation continued-
MOVE THE WATER HEATER TO A PERMANENT
POSITION BY SLIDING OR WALKING.
For California installation this water heater must be braced,
anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an
earthquake. See instructions for correct installation procedures.
Instructions may be obtained from California Office of the State
Architect, 400 P Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.
FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL
RELEASE THE MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM
WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM EXCESSIVE
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURES.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that
has not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To prevent
the possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the
hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink
before you use any electrical appliance that is connected to the hot
water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual
sound such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to
flow. Do not smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the time
it is open.
Keep clear of the temperature and pressure relief valve discharge
line outlet. The discharge may be hot enough to cause scald injury.
The water is under pressure and may splash.
