WATER HEATER
Under certain conditions hydrogen gas may be produced in a water heater that has not been
used for two weeks or more.
Hydrogen gas can be explosive under these circumstances. If the
hot water has not been used for two weeks or more, prevent the possibility of damage or injury
SAFETY
by turning on all hot water faucets and allowing them to run for several minutes. Do this before
using any electrical appliance which is connected to the hot water system. This simple
procedure will allow any built-up hydrogen gas to escape. Since the gas is flammable, do not
smoke or use an open flame or appliance during this process.

How
To Remove Stains
How To Remove Stains
Pretreating dirt and stains
Brush a little washing detergent dissolved in water onto stains, collars, and cuffs to help shift dirt.
The secret of stain treatment is immediate action. When an accident happens, plunge the stained area
into cold water, or sponge it down. This prevents the stain from setting. Wash as soon as possible
