Connect Fill Hoses

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be pro-
duced in a hot water system that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLO-
SIVE. If the hot water system has not been used for
such a period and before using the washer, turn on
all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each
for several minutes. This will release any accumula-
ted hydrogen gas. The gas is flammable. Do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
