Important Safety Information

Read all safety information before using
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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 taps
and allow them to run for several
minutes before using any electri-
cal appliance which is connected
to the hot water system. This will
allow any hydrogen gas to escape.
Since the gas is flammable, do
not smoke or use an open flame
or appliance during this process.
