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.
WARNING
Risk of Fire - DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance. Keep rags and other combustibles away.
WARNING
If the water heater has been subjected to flood, fire, or physical damage, turn off power and water to the
water heater.
Do not operate the water heater again until it has been thoroughly checked by qualified service personnel.

A. Do turn off power to water heater if it has been subjected to overheating, fire, flood or physical damage.
B. Do Not turn on water heater unless it is filled with water.

NOTE: Flammable vapors may be drawn by air currents from surrounding areas to the water heater.
D. If there is any difficulty in understanding or following the Operating Instructions or the Care and Cleaning
section, it is recommended that a qualified person or serviceman perform the work.
Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
