WARNING: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot
water system that has not been used for an extended
period–gen er al ly, two weeks or longer. To prevent pos-
sible injury under this situation, we recommend that a
hot water faucet be wide open for several minutes
before you use ANY electrical appliance that is con nect -
ed to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, an
unusual sound – such as air escaping – will come from
the open faucet as the hot water begins to flow.
Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable – there must
be no open flame near this open faucet.
