__ SEGURIDAD DELCALENTADORDEAGUA
En determinadas condiciones, en un calentador de agua que no se habla utilizado durante un minima
de dos semanas se puede producir gas hidr6geno. Elgas hidr6geno puede resultar explosivo 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.
