10. Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a hot water system that

has not been used for 2 weeks or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water

system has not been used for 2 weeks or more, before using a washer or combination

washer-dryer, turn on all hot water faucets and let the water ow from each for several

minutes. This will release any accumulated hydrogen gas. As the gas is ammable, do not

smoke or use an open ame during this time.
