en determinadas circunstancias.
Si el agua caliente no se ha utilizado por dos semanas o m6s, prevenga la posibilidad de sufrir daflos o lesiones
abriendo todos los grifos de agua caliente g dej6ndola correr durante varios minutos. Realice este proceso antes
de utilizar cualquier electrodom@stico que se conecte al sistema de agua caliente. Este sencillo procedimiento
le permitir6 liberar todo el gas hidr6geno acumulado. Debido aque el gas es inflamable, no fume ni utilice
ninguna llama o electrodom_stico durante el proceso.
