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.

Temperature-PressureRelief Valve Operation

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year.

•Burn hazard

•Hotwater discharge.

•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.
