INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Insulation Blankets
In general, insulation blankets for external use on gas
water heaters are not necessary. The purpose of an
insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss
from the water heater’s storage tank. Since these
water heaters DO NOT store water, they eliminate
the need for the insulation blanket.
WARNING:
Never cover the air inlet, flue outlet, or operating and
warning labels attached to the water heater. Covering these
components will cause dangerous operating conditions that
can lead to death, personal injury, property damage, and/or
product damage.
The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any
damage or defect caused by insulation, insulation
attachment, or use of any type of energy-saving
or other unapproved devices (unless authorized
by the manufacturer). The use of unauthorized
energy-saving devices can result in death, personal
injury, and/or property damage. The manufacturer
disclaims any responsibility for such loss or injury
resulting from the use of such unauthorized devices.
