Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you
should follow these instructions. (For identifi cation of the components
mentioned in the next column, see Figure 1.) Failure to follow these
instructions can restrict the air fl ow required for proper combustion,
potentially resulting in fi re, asphyxiation, serious personal injury, or death. • Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as this will
interfere with safe operation of the water heater.
• Do not cover the outer door, gas control valve/thermostat,
temperature & pressure relief valve or FV Sensor.
• Do not let insulation around the gas water heater get within 8 inches
of the fl oor (access for servicing the burner).
• Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side of the
water heater or nearby for future reference.
• Do obtain new warning and instruction labels from the manufacturer
for placement on the blanket directly over the existing labels.
• Do inspect the insulation blanket frequently to make certain it
does not sag, thereby obstructing access to burner.
