WARNING!
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or
more weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, 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
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, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
