Requires CAREFUL ATTENTION to your AUTOMATIC WATER HEATER Here Are Some Suggestions: If your Automatic Water Heater ia equipped with a “safety” valve which shuts off the main gas burner automati cally in the event the water heater should ever go out. Another safety valve is installed at the top of your heater to allow excess steam to escape in the event the water becomes too hot. These safety devices are standard equipment for your protection. CARE OF WATER HEATER If your Automatic Water Heater is equipped with a faucet located at the base of the stor age tank then we recommend that this faucet be opened two or three times a year to permit water to drain from it. It should be left open until the water runs clear. This will eliminate the possibility of your tank becoming “limed” up. This is the result of the nature of the hard water in this locality. To Faciliiafe Economical Operation— 1 Check all hot water faucets in your home and be • sure none of them are leaky.. 2 Avoid permitting the family or “help” to run hot • water continually at the kitchen sink ^hile wash ing hands or rinsing dishes. 3 When cooking, making coffee, etc., use the hot • water from the faucet which has already been heated once. 4 Our Service Department maintains service which • is available to you at all times.
