安裝說明書和使用及維護指南(2)

您的安全和其他人的安全是最重要的。 
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

我們在本手冊中為您的熱水器提供許多重要的安全措施。請經常閱讀并遵守所有的安全措施。
　　We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

這是安全警告標志。 This is the safety alert symbol. 這個標志發出警告，存在著對您和他人造成人身傷害的潛在危險。  This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

所有安全措施都與安全警告標志、“危險”(DANGER)或“警告”(WARNING)文字有關。這些文字含義如下：
　　All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

如果不遵守說明書的有關說明，可能立即會有生命危險或造成重傷。 You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

如果不遵守說明書的有關說明，可能會有生命危險或造成重傷。 You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

所有的安全措施都會說明潛在的危險是什么，都會說明如何減少受到傷害的可能性，說明如果沒有按照說明書操作可能會有什么事情發生。
　　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.

　　小心謹慎：如果熱水器長期（2周以上）沒有使用，熱水管道系統中可能會產生氫氣。氫氣及其易燃。在這種情況下，為了減少危險，建議在使用任何與熱水系統連接的任何電器之前，先打開廚房的熱水水龍頭幾分鐘時間。如果有氫氣存在，那么當水開始流動時，會有一種像空氣穿過管道一樣的異常聲音。在打開期間，不要在水龍頭附近吸煙或點燃明火。
　　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.
