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