Water Temperature Adjustment

The water temperature can be adjusted from 80°F to 150°F. Use the temperature control knob to change to the desired temperature.

Operating Mode Descriptions

1.Smart Mode - The controller operates the water heater to maintain the customer’s selected temperature.

2.Energy Smart Mode - The controller adjusts the water temperature to lowest temperature required to meet the household demands. This mode minimizes operating costs. The controller will not adjust temperature higher than customer’s selected set point or lower than 115°F.

3.Low Temperature Mode - The controller limits the water temperature to 120°F or at the temperature selected whichever is lower. See page 9 for more information on scalds.

4.Vacation/Cabin Mode - The controller adjusts the water temperature to approximately 50°F. This mode is recommended when the water heater is not in use for a long period of time. This effectively turns the water heater off and prevents the water from freezing.
