WATEl?HEATERSAFEP/

Undercertain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced

in a water heater that has not been used for two weeks

ormore. Hydrogengas 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_
