Many safety-related messages and instructions have been provided in this manual and on your own water heater to warn you and others of a potential injury Hazard. Read and obey all safety messages and instructions throughout this manual. It is very important that the meaning of each safety message is understood by you and others who install, use or service this water heater. This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible injury or death. DANGER indicates an imminently ` hazardous situation which,if not avoided, could result in death or injury. WARNING indicates a potentially ` hazardous situation which,if not avoided, could result in death or injury. CAUTION indicates a potentially 1 hazardous situation which,if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. CAUTION used without the safety alert CAUTION symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in property damage. All safety messages will generally tell you about the type of hazard,what can happen if you do not follow the safety message and how to avoid the risk of injury. 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. 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.
