WATERHEATERSAFETY
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used
for two weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or
ii_iury by turning on all hot water fimcets and allow them to Hm for several minutes. Do this before
