FIGURE?.
Facts to Consider About the Location
Carefuliy |
choose an indoor |
location |
for the new water heater, |
because |
the placement is |
a very |
important consideration for |
the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not for use in manufactured (mobiie) homes or outdoor installation.
Whether replacing an old water |
heater or |
putting the water |
heater |
|||||
in a new location, the following critical points must be observed: |
|
|||||||
• |
Select a |
location |
indoors |
as |
close |
as practical to the gas |
||
|
vent or chimney to which the water heater vent is going to be |
|||||||
|
connected, |
and as |
centralized |
with |
the water |
piping |
system |
|
|
as possible. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
• |
Selected |
location |
must |
provide |
adequate |
clearances for |
||
servicing and proper operation of the water heater.
CAUTION
Property Damage Hazard
All water heaters eventually leak
Do notinstall without adequate drainage.
Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not
advisable to install the water heater in |
an attic or upper floor. |
|
When such locations cannot be |
avoided, a suitable drain pan |
|
should be installed under the |
water heater. Drain pans are |
|
available at your local Sears or |
hardware store. Such a drain |
|
pan must have a minimum length |
and width of at least 2 inches |
|
(51 mm) greater that the water |
heater dimensions and must be |
|
piped to an adequate drain. |
The |
pan must not restrict |
combustion air flow. |

A WARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Avoid all ignition sources if you smell LP gas. Do not expose water heater control to excessive gas pressure.
Use only gas shown on rating plate.
Maintain required clearances to combustibles. Keep ignition sources away from faucets after extended period of non-use.
Read instruction manual before è installing, using or servicing
water heater.

^WARNING
Fire Hazard
For continued protection against risk of fire:
• Do not install water heater on carpeted floor.
•Do not operate water heater if flood damaged.
This water heater must not be installed directly on carpeting. Carpeting must be protected by metal or wood panel beneath
the |
appliance extending beyond the full width and depth of the |
|||||||
appliance by |
at |
least 3 |
inches |
(76.2 mm) |
in any |
direction, |
or if |
|
the |
appliance |
is |
installed |
in an |
alcove or |
closet, |
the entire |
floor |
must be covered by the panel. Failure to heed this warning may result in a fire hazard.
AWARNING
Fire or Explosion Hazard
Read instruction manual before installing using or servicing water heater.
è Improper use may result in fire or explosion.
Maintain required clearances to combustibles. w
Minimum clearances between the water heater and combustible
construction |
are |
0 inch |
at |
the sides and |
rear, |
4 inches |
||||
(102 |

A WARNING
Breathing Hazard - Carbon Monoxide Gas
Install water heater in accordance with the instruction manuai and NFPA 54.
To avoid injury, combustion and ventilation air must be taken from outdoors.
Do |
not |
place |
chemical |
vapor |
emitting |
products |
near |
water |
|
heater. |
|
|
|
|
Breathing carbon monoxide can cause brain damage or death. Always read and understand instruction manual.
A gas water heater cannot operate properly without the correct amount of air for combustion, see Figure 9. Do not install in a
confined area such as a closet, |
unless you provide air as shown |
|
in |
the Locating The New Water |
Heater section. Never obstruct |
the |
flow of ventilation air. If you have any doubts or questions at |
|
all, |
cal! 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. |

Insulation Blankets
Insulation |
blankets |
available to the general public for external |
use on |
gas water |
heaters 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.

Ak WARNING |
|
Should |
you |
choose to |
apply an insulation blanket to this |
heater, |
you |
should |
follow |
these instructions (See Figure |
1 for |
identification of components mentioned below). Failure to follow 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 sate operation of the draft hood.
•Do not cover the outer door, thermostat or temperature & pressure relief valve.
•Do not allow insulation to come within 2” (50.8 mm) 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 neaitiy for future reference.
•Do obtain new warning and instruction labels from Sears
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 combustion air flow.

UNCONFINED SPACE is space whose volume is not less than
50 cubic feet per 1,000 |
Btu per hour (4.8 m^ per kW) of the |
