WATER HEATER SAFETY
• Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water
heater than 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-in hydrogen gas
to escape. Since the gas is fl ammable, do not smoke or use an open
fl ame or appliance during this process.

• Keep the area underneath and around your appliances
free of combustible materials such as lint, paper, rags, chemicals,
etc.
• Close supervision is necessary if this appliance is used
by or near children. Do not allow children to play on, with,
