• Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any phone in your building.
• Clear the room, building or area of all occupants.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor's phone. Follow the gas supplier's instructions care-
fully.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
- Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
Under certain conditions, hydrogen gas may be produced in
a water heater that has not been used for two weeks or
more. Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circum-
stances.
If the hot water has not been used for two weeks or more,
prevent the possibility of damage or injury by turning on all
hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several min-
utes. Do this before using any electrical appliance which is
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 or use an open flame or appliance
during this process.
