WATER HEATER
Safety Information
y
WARNINGS:
Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used this heater for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To reduce the risk of injury
under these conditions, open the hot water faucet for several minutes at the kitchen
sink before you use any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If
hydrogen is present, you probably will hear an unusual sound such as air escaping
through the pipe as the water begins to flow.
Hydrogen gas may be present even after water has been drained from the tank. Open
faucet at sink and allow system to vent for several minutes (5-10 minutes).
Do not smoke or have any open flame near the open faucet. Do not attempt to light
pilot or main burner. On DSI models, be sure the switch is “OFF”.
y
Should overheating occur, or the gas supply fail to shut off, shut off the manual gas
valve to the appliance before shutting off the electrical supply.
y
Do not alter the operation of your water heater nor change the design/construction of
your water heater. Accessories are being marketed by RV products which we do not
recommend. For your safety, only factory authorized parts are to be used on your
water heater.
y
Periodically inspect the vent for obstructions or presence of soot. Soot is formed
whenever combustion is incomplete. This is your visual warning that the water heater
is operating in an unsafe manner. If soot is present, immediately shut the ater heater
down and contact your dealer or a qualified service person.
y
When considering add-on rooms, porch or patio, attention must be given to the
venting of your water heater. For your safety, do not terminate the vent on your water
heater inside add-on rooms, screen porch or onto patios. Doing so will result in
products of combustion being vented into the rooms or occupied areas.
