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 long 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 17).
°F/°C - The button switches the display to show
the set temperature in Fahrenheit or Celsius.

Temperature=Pressure Relief Valve Operation
The temperature-pressure retief 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 d or around the outlet of the temperature-
pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually
discharged will not cause any property damage or bodily injury.
The water may be extremely hot.
