安装说明书和使用及维护指南(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.

我们在本手册中为您的热水器提供许多重要的安全措施。请经常阅读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.

这是安全警告标志。 This is the safety alert symbol. 这个标志发出警告，存在着对您和他人造成人身伤害的潜在危险。  This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

所有安全措施都与安全警告标志、“危险”(DANGER)或“警告”(WARNING)文字有关。这些文字含义如下：
　　All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word “DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:

如果不遵守说明书的有关说明，可能立即会有生命危险或造成重伤。 You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

如果不遵守说明书的有关说明，可能会有生命危险或造成重伤。 You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.

所有的安全措施都会说明潜在的危险是什么，都会说明如何减少受到伤害的可能性，说明如果没有按照说明书操作可能会有什么事情发生。
　　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.
