Operational Modes.

This water heater defaults to the Hybrid operating
mode. Available modes are listed below and can
be found under the EnERGY MEnu button.
eHeat™ Mode
SAVINGS
eHeat™ 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.
Standard Electric Mode
This mode uses only the upper and lower heating
resistance elements to heat the water. The time it
takes to heat the water is less in this mode, but it
is the LEAST energy-efficient mode.
Hybrid Mode
Hybrid mode combines the energy efficiency of
eHeat™ with the recovery speed and power of the
Standard Electric mode, with normal water usage.
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).
High Demand
This mode may be necessary if your household
has a higher-than-average water usage or the unit
is undersized for the household water demands.
In this mode, the unit will use the electric heating

—RECOMMENDED FOR MAXIMUM
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.
