WATER HEATER S AFE TY
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.
