A gas water heater cannot operate properly without the correct amount
of air for combustion.
Do not install in a confined area such as a closet,
unless you provide air as shown in the "Facts to Consider
About the
Location"
section.
Never obstruct the flow of ventilation
air. If you
have any doubts or questions
at all, call your gas supplier.
Failure to
provide the proper amount
of combustion
air can result in a fire or
explosion
and cause death, serious bodily injury, or property damage.

If this water heater will be used in beauty shops, barber shops, cleaning
establishments,
or self-service
laundries with dry cleaning equipment,
it is imperative
that the water heater or water heaters be installed so
that combustion
and ventilation
air be taken from outside these areas.
Prope/ants
of aerosol
sprays
and volatile compounds,
(cleaners,
chlorine based chemicals, refrigerants,
etc.) in addition to being highly
flammable
inmany cases,
will also react to form corrosive hydrochloric
acid when exposed
to the combustion
products of the water heater.
The results can be hazardous,
and also cause product failure.
INSULATION BLANKETS
Insulation blankets are available
to the general public for external use
on gas water heaters but are not necessary
with Kenmore
products.
The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss
encountered
with storage tank heaters.
Your Kenmore
water heater
meets or exceeds the National Appliance
Energy Conservation
Act
standards with respect to insulation
and standby
loss requirements,
making an insulation blanket unnecessary.
Breathing
Hazard - Carbon
Monoxide
Gas
Do not obstruct water heater air intake
with insulating blanket.
Gas and carbon monoxide
detectors
are avalable.
Instal water heater in accordance with
the instruction manual.
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or
death. Always read and understand instruction manual.
Should you choose to apply an insulation
blanket to this heater, you
should follow
these instructions
(For identification
of components
mentioned
below, see Figure 1). Fa/ure to fo/ow these instructions
can restrict the air flow required for proper combustion,
potentially
resulting in fire, 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 blower assembly.
Do not cover the outer door, thermostat
or temperature
& pressure
relief valve.
Do not a/ow
insulation
to come within 2" (5.1 cm) of the floor to
prevent blockage
of combustion
air flow to the burner.
Do not cover the instruction
manual.
Keep it on the side of the
water heater or nearby for future reference.
D__.£ obtain
new
warning
and
instruction
labels
from
Sears
for placement
on the blanket directly over the existing labels.
D__£ inspect
the insulation
blanket
frequently
to make certain
it
does not sag, thereby obstructing
combustion
air flow.
COMBUSTION AIR AND VENTILAT_ON FOR
APPLIANCES LOCATED IN UNCONFINED SPACES
UNCONFINED
SPACE
is space whose
volume
is not less than
50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the
aggregate
input rating of a/appliances
installed in that space.
Rooms
communicating
directly
with the space in which the appliances
are
insta/ed,
through openings
not furnished with doors, are considered
a
part of the unconfined
space.
In unconfined spaces in buildings, infiltration may be adequate to provide
air for combustion,
ventilation
and dilution of flue gases.
However,
in
buildings of tight construction
(for example, weather stripping, heavily
insulated,
caulked, vapor barrier, etc.), additional
air may need to be
provided using the methods described in "Combustion Air and Ventlation
forAppliances
Located in Confined Spaces."
COMBUSTION AIR AND VENTILATION FOR
APPLIANCES LOCATED IN CONFINED SPACES
CONFINED
SPACE is a space whose volume is less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btu per hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the aggregate
input rating of all appliances
