DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER 

WATER. Immediately call a qualified service agency to inspect the 

appliance  and  to  make  a  determination  on  what  steps  should  be 

taken next.

If the unit is exposed to the following, do not operate heater until all 

corrective steps have been made by a qualified service agency.

1.  External fire.

2. Damage.

3.  Firing without water.

This water heater must be grounded in accordance with the National 

Electrical Code and/or local codes. These must be followed in all 

cases. Failure to ground this water heater properly may also cause 

erratic control system operation.

This  water  heater  must  be  connected  to  a  grounded  metal, 

permanent  wiring  system;  or  an  equipment  grounding  conductor 

must  be  run  with  the  circuit  conductors  and  connected  to  the 

equipment grounding terminal or lead on the water heater.

Flammable hydrogen gases

may be present.

Keep all ignition sources away

from faucet when turning on

hot water.

Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this 

appliance that has not been used for a long period of time (generally 

two  weeks  or  more).  Hydrogen  gas  is  extremely  flammable.  To 

reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended 

that  a  hot  water  faucet  served  by  this  appliance  be  opened  for 

several  minutes  before  using  any  electrical  appliance  connected 

to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present there will probably 

be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the 

water begins to flow. THERE SHOULD BE NO SMOkING OR OPEN 

FLAME NEAR THE FAUCET AT THE TIME IT IS OPEN.
