DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE GROUNDING PLUG. If you do not have
a three-prong electric receptacle outlet in the wall, have a certified electrician
install the proper receptacle. The wall receptacle MUST be properly grounded..
20. Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in more
than 2 weeks. This could be explosive under certain circumstances. If this is the
case, before using this appliance turn on all the hot faucets and let the hot water
run for a few minutes. This will let the trapped hydrogen escape. During this
process do not turn on an electric appliance, smoke, light a match/lighter or use
a flame to avoid an accident, as hydrogen gas is flammable and can explode.
21. Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in,
or spotted with gasoline, dry-cleaning solvents, or other flammable or explosive
substances, as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
22. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance or attempt any servicing
unless specifically recommended in the user-repair instructions that you
understand and have skills to carry out.
23. Do not use heat dry for articles containing foam rubber or similarly textured
rubber-like materials.
24. Do not place items exposed to cooking oils in your appliance. Items contaminated
with cooking oils may contribute to a chemical reaction that could cause a load
to catch fire.
