External water heater safety
z
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced
in your hot water heater that has not been used for two
weeks or more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these
circumstances. To prevent the possibility of damage or injury,
you should turn on all hot water faucets in your home, and let
the water
fl
ow out for several minutes before connecting to your
washer. This will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape.
Since hydrogen gas is
fl
ammable, do not smoke or use an open

ame or start appliance during this process.
