Important Instructions
· Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician. Water heaters subjected to flood conditions or anytime the gas controls, main burner or pilot have
been submerged in water require replacement of the entire water heater.
· 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 can ignite when exposed to a spark or flame.
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 using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water
system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the faucet
as water begins to flow. Do not smoke or have any 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.
Warning: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm.
This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed, including formaldehyde, carbon monxide,
and soot.
