Excerpts:
CAUTION! Hydrogen gas builds up in a hot water system when it is not used for a long period (two weeks or more).
Hydrogen gas is extremely fl ammable. If the hot water system has not been used for two weeks or more, open a hot water faucet for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliances 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 hot water begins to fl ow. Do not smoke or have an open fl ame or other ignition on source near the faucet while it is open.
Carbon Monoxide Risk WARNING!
This water heater operates by burning gas. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, gas that is a by-product of burning of fuels such as coal, wood, charcoal, oil, kerosene, propane, and natural gas.
Breathing excessive and abnormal amounts of carbon monoxide can cause carbon monoxide poisoning, resultion ng in serious injury or death. This water heater must be supplied with adequate combustion on air and must be properly vented to the outdoors.
Have a qualifi ed person (licensed plumber, authorized gas company personnel, or authorized service technician) install the vention ng system using these installation on instructions. When the installaton is complete, check the vent’s draft using the instructions on pages 23-24. - RELIANCE 50 GALLON GAS WATER HEATER [PDF] Model 6 50 NBRT, tall natural gas water heater manual
