flood, fire, or physical damage, tum off
power and water to the water heater.

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
This product can expose you to lead, which
is known to the state of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. For more information,
