Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION: Hydrogen gas is produced in a hot water system served by this heater that has not been used for a long
period of time (2 weeks or more). Hydrogen is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions,
it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical
appliance connected to the hot water system. When hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound such as air
escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at
the time it is open.
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn of potential exposure to such substances.
