WARNING! WATER HEATER SAFETY

Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.

If the hot water has not been used for two or moreweeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucetsand allowthem to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot watersystem. This simple procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape.Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process.
