Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this storage tank that has not been used for a long period
of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these
conditions, 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 probably be an unusual
sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near
the faucet at the time it is open.
