SUPPLY GAS LINE PURGING

Fire or Explosion Hazard

Gas line purging is required with new piping or systems in which air has entered.

To avoid risk of fire or explosion purge discharge must not enter into confined areas or spaces where ignition can occur.

The area must be well ventilated and all sources of ignition must be deactivated or removed.

Use only the gas shown on the water heater rating label.

Keep ignition sources away from faucets after extended periods of non-use.

Read instruction manual before

installing, using or servicing

water heater.
