重要的安全性说明
Important Safety Instructions

　　小心谨慎：如果热水器长期（2周以上）没有使用，热水管道系统中可能会产生氢气。氢气及其易燃。在这种情况下，为了减少危险，建议在使用任何与热水系统连接的任何电器之前，先打开厨房的热水水龙头几分钟时间。如果有氢气存在，那么当水开始流动时，会有一种像空气穿过管道一样的异常声音。在打开期间，不要在水龙头附近吸烟或点燃明火。
　　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 is extremely flammable. 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 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.
