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.
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.
