Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all
safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
will result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you
what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION: Hydrogen gas is produced in a hot water system served by this heater that has not been used for a long
period of time (2 weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely fl ammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these
conditions, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before
using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. When hydrogen is present, there will probably be
an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to fl ow. There should be no smoking or
open fl ame near the faucet at the time it is open.
WATER HEATER SAFETY
IMPORTANT: The heat pump portion of this water heater uses R-134a refrigerant. See the data plate on the heat pump
jacket for the charge level.
