WATER HEATER SAFETY
• Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water
heater than has not been used for two weeks or more. Hydrogen
gas can be explosive under these circumstances.
• If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent
the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water
faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before

to escape. Since the gas is fl ammable, do not smoke or use an open
