Operating Mode Descriptions

The operating modes can be changed by touching the desired

mode icon on the User Interface Module (see Figure 16.) NOTE: All buttons on the User Interface are touch sensitive and

require only a light touch to actuate.

®Hybrid Mode - This is the default, recommended setting. Combining high energy efficiency with

HyE3R4D

reduced recovery time, this mode uses the heat

 

 

pump as the primary heating source. The heating

 

element wilt heat water if demand exceeds

 

a predetermined level so that the set point

 

temperature can be recovered more quickly.

 

 

Efficiency Mode - Is the most energy efficient

 

mode. This mode uses the heat pump to heat water

 

in the tank. The elements are not used unless the

 

ambient operating temperature is below 45°F or

 

above 109°F. If hot water demands are not met in

 

Efficiency Mode it may be necessary to switch to

 

Hybrid Mode.

Electric Mode - The water

heater

functions

as a

conventional electric unit,

relying

totally on

the

ELECTRIC

elements to heat the water in the tank. This mode

 

may be useful in winter to eliminate the output of

 

cold air from the unit.

 

Vacation Mode - The controller adjusts the water

 

temperature to approximately 60°F. This mode is

 

recommended when the water heater is not in use

 

for a tong period of time. This mode effectively

 

turns the controller temperature setting down to a

 

temperature that prevents the water in the water

 

heater from freezing while still conserving energy.

 

NOTE: To activate the Vacation Mode touch the

 

vacation button. To deactivate Vacation Mode

 

touch the vacation button. IMPORTANT: The

 

anode protecting the tank requires power to the

 

unit to operate. Do not shut off power to the unit

 

for extended periods of time. If power must be

 

turned off for an extended period of time, drain the

 

tank completely.

 

Lock - Holding this button for more than 3 seconds

 

switches the lock mode on or off. When the User

 

Interface Module is locked a symbol and "Lock"

 

text will be visible on the display (see Figure 16).

 

°F/°C - The button switches the display to show

 

the set temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Keep hands clear of drain valve discharge.

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that

(1)no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature- pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged wilt not cause any property damage or bodily injury. The water may be extremely hot.
