AWARNING

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in

a hot water system that has not been used for a

long period of time (generally two weeks or more).

Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explosive.

To prevent the possibility of injury under these con-

ditlons, we recommend the hot water faucet be

opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink

before any electrical appliances which are connected

to the hot water system are used (such as a dish-

washer or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is pre-

sent, there will probably be an unusual sound simi-

lar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water

faucet isopened. There must be no smoking or open

flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

AWARNING I

INSULATING JACKETS: When installing an external I

water heater insulation jacket on a gas water heater:

• DO NOT cover the temperature-pressure relief valve.

• DO NOT put insulation over any part of the top of

the gaswater heater.

• DO NOT put insulation over the gas control valve or

gas control valve/burner cover, or any access areas

to the burner.

• DO NOT let insulation around the gas water heater

to get within 8 inches of the floor (air must get to

the burner).

• DO NOT cover or remove operating instructions,

and safety related warning labels and materials

affixed to the water heater.

Failure to heed this will result in the possibility of

fire or explosion.
