WARNING! WATER HEATER SAFETY Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been used for two or more weeks. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot water has not been used for two or more weeks, prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all hot water faucets and allow them to run for several minutes. Do this before using any electrical appliance 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, use an open flame, or use the appliance during this process. ¡ADVERTENCIA! SEGURIDADDELCALENTADORDEAGUA Bajo ciertas condiciones, se podrá producir gas de hidrógeno en un calentador de agua que no fue usado por dos semanas o más. EL GAS DE HIDRÓGENO ES EXPLOSIVO. Si el agua caliente no se usó por dos semanas o más, evite la posibilidad de que ocurran daños o lesiones abriendo todos los grifos de agua caliente y dejando que corra agua por varios minutos.
