Insulation blankets, available to the
general public, for external use on
gas water heaters are not
necessary. The purpose of an
insulation blanket is to reduce the
standby heat loss encountered with
storage tank heaters. This water
heater does not store water making
an insulation blanket unnecessary.
The manufacturer’s warranty does
not cover any damage or defect
caused by installation, attachment
or use of any type of energy saving
or other unapproved devices
(other than those authorized by
the manufacturer) into, onto or in
conjunction with the water heater.
The use of unauthorized energy
saving devices may shorten the
life of the water heater and may
endanger life and property.
The manufacturer disclaims any
responsibility for such loss or injury
resulting from the use of such
unauthorized devices.
WARNING: If
local codes require
external application of
insulation blanket kits
the manufacturer’s
instructions included
with the kit must be
carefully followed.
