Operational Modes.

This water heater defaults to the Hybrid operating mode.
Available modes are listed below and can be selected using
the MODE button.
Heat Pump (only) Mode
SAVINGS
Heat Pump (only) is the most energy-efficient mode for this
water heater. It takes heat from the surrounding air to heat
the water. The time it takes to heat the water is longer in this
mode, so it may not be sufficient if you have a high-demand
situation such as a large household or company.

Hybrid Mode

Hybrid mode combines the energy efficiency of Heat Pump
(only) with the recovery speed and power of the Electric (Only)
mode in most water usage situations. Hybrid mode will allow
the unit to perform like a standard electric water heater while
providing significant energy savings.
NOTE: Reported unit performance, energy consumption
and savings are based on Hybrid Mode operation at a
temperature setting of 135°F (57°C).
Electric (only) Mode
This mode uses only the upper and lower heating resistance
elements to heat the water, stopping the cool air discharge
during heat pump operation. The time it takes to heat the
water is less in this mode, but it is the LEAST energy-efficient
mode.
NOTE: In this mode the green LED light will flash after 48
hours as an indication that the unti is not operating in the
most energy efficient mode. The unit will continue to operate
in this mode and does not indicate an operating issue.

Vacation
This feature is used when you will be away from the home for
an extended period of time and hot water is not needed. In this
mode, the unit will drop the water temperature down to 50ºF
(10°C) and will use the most efficient heating mode to conserve
energy while the heater is sitting idle. The unit will automatically
resume heating one day before your return, so that hot water
will be available.
For example if you will be gone 14 days, follow these steps:
1. Select VACATION by using the Mode button
2. Input total days you will be gone (in this example, 14) by
pressing the UP arrow button (the default is 7 days)
3. Press ENTER.
The unit will drop the water temperature down to 50ºF (10°C)
for one day less than you will be gone (in this example, for
13 days). At the end of the day before you return (in this
example, the 13th day), it will automatically return to the
previous operating mode and heat the water to the original
temperature setting so hot water is available upon your
return.
To access any of these modes:
1. Press the MODE button on the control to the desired
operating mode.
2. The green light will be illuminated on the chosen mode.
