CAUTION!
If this water heater is left in an operating condition and unused for two weeks or more, a
quantity of hydrogen (which is highly flammable) may accumulate in the top of the water
cylinder. To dissipate this gas safely it is recommended that a hot tap be turned on for
several minutes at a sink, basin or bath, but not a dishwasher, clothes washer or other
appliance. During this procedure there must be no smoking, open flame or any other
electrical appliance operating nearby. If hydrogen is discharged through the tap it will
probably make an unusual sound as with air escaping.
