Safety information
10.
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that
has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water
system has not been used for 2 weeks or more, before using a washer or combination
washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water flow from each for several
minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame during this time.
