If smelly water persists, after anode replacement and chlorination treatment, you should consider chlorinating or aerating your water supply. = Before removing any access panels or servicing the water heater, make sure the electrical supply to the water heater is turned "OFF". • Failure to do this could result in death, serious bodily injury, or property damage. Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided. "AIR" IN HOT WATER FAUCETS 1. Before beginning, turn "OFF" electrical power supply to the water heater. } Explosion Hazard • Flammable hydrogen gases may be present. • Keep all ignition sources away from faucet when turning on hot water. 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 conditions, 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 dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open. RUMBLING NOISE In some water areas, scale or mineral deposits will build up on your heating elements. This buildup will cause a rumbling noise. Follow "Element Cleaning/Replacement" instructions to clean and replace the elements.
