Do not use or store flammable products,
such as gasoline, solvents, or adhesives in
the same room or area as the water heater.
●
The water heater has a main burner flame
that can turn on at any time and can ignite
flammable vapors. Vapors from flammable
liquids can explode and catch fire, causing
death or severe burns.
●
Vapors cannot be seen and are heavier than
air. They can travel long distances along the
ground and can be carried from other rooms
to the water heater’s main burner flame by air
current.
●
Keep all flammable products far away from
the water heater and store them in approved
containers. Keep the containers closed tightly
and out of the reach of children and pets.
