For your
safety,
the information in this manual
must
be followed
to
minimize the risk of fire
or
explosion,
electric
shock,
or
to
prevent property
damage, personal injury,
or
loss of life.
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.
Install
or
store
where it will
not
be
exposed to
temperatures
below
freezing
or
exposed to
the weather.
Properly ground washer
to
conform with all
governing
codes and ordinances.
The base
opening must not
be obstructed
by carpeting
when
the
washing
machine is installed
on a
carpeted
floor.
The
appliance
must
be
positioned
so
that the
plug
is
accessible.
