Vacation Or Away
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 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, press the VACATION OR AWAY button, press the UP arrow button until the display reads 14 days (the default is 7 days) and press ENTER. The unit will drop the water temperature down to 50ºF for 13 days. At the end of the 13th day, it will automatically return to the previous operating mode and heat the water to the original temperature setting.
The green light will be illuminated when this feature is on.
Stop Cold Air
The Hybrid and eHeat™ modes save energy by using heat from the air to heat the water. The warm air is pulled through the system by fans and is then cooled. That cool air then moves out the back of the heater.
You can temporarily stop the cold air and fan noise coming from the unit by pressing the STOP COLD AIR button.
To adjust the number of days this feature will be on, simply use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons and press ENTER (the default is 3 days). The unit will automatically return to the previous operating mode after the number of days selected has passed.
This mode should only be used on a temporary basis because you do NOT get the energy savings while in this mode.
The green light will be illuminated when this feature is on.
High Demand (on some models)

In this mode, the unit will use the electric heating elements only when the water demand is higher than normal. When using the heating elements, the water temperature will recover at a faster rate but it will take more energy to heat it.
Unlike Standard Electric mode, it will use the heating elements only when needed.
The green light will be illuminated when this feature is on.
