•
Hydrogen gas may be produced if the water heater has not been used in more than
two weeks. This could be explosive and can explode under certain circumstances. If
this is the case, before using this appliance, turn on all the hot water faucets and let
the hot water run for a few minutes. This will let the trapped hydrogen escape. During
this process to not turn on an electric appliance, smoke, light a match or lighter, or
use a flame to avoid serious injury, due to the highly flammable nature of hydrogen
gas.
