IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric

shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or

loss of life.

Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced

in a water heater that 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 using any electrical appliance which is connected to the

hot water system. This simple procedure will allow any built-up

hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not smoke

or use an open flame or appliance during this process.
