Safety Instructions
Operating the water heater.

WARNING:Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!! To dissipate such gas and to reduce risk of injury, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. Do not smoke or use an open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

WARNING:

If the water heater has been subjected to flood, fire, or physical damage, turn off power and water to the water heater.

Do not operate the water heater again until it has been thoroughly checked by qualified service personnel.

Safety Controls

The water heater is equipped with two temperature-limiting controls (TCOs) that are located above the heating element in contact with the tank surface. If for any reason the water temperature becomes excessively high, the temperature-limiting control (TCO) breaks the power circuit to the heating element. Once the control opens, it must be reset manually. Resetting of the temperature limiting controls should be done by a qualified service technician.
