CAUTION
Risk of Fire - Hydrogen gas
can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater that has not been used for a long
period of time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!! To dissipate such gas and to reduce risk
of injury, 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 be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the
pipe as the water begins to flow. Do not smoke or use an open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
