be produced in a hot water system that has
not been used for two weeks or more.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXPLOSIVE. If the hot
water system has not been used for such a
period, before using a washing machine or
combination washer-dryer, turn on all hot
water faucets and let the water flow from
each for several minutes. This will release any
accumulated hydrogen gas. THE GAS IS
FLAMMABLE. DO NOT SMOKE OR USE AN
OPEN FLAME DURING THIS TIME.
