This water heater defaults to the Hybrid operating
mode. The Hybrid mode is the recommended
setting for this water heater, but can be changed
if desired. Available modes are listed below and
can be found under the ENERGY MENU button.
eHeat™ Mode
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 —RECOMMENDED MODE
Hybrid mode combines the energy efficiency of
eHeat™ with the recovery speed and power of the
Standard Electric mode, with normal water usage.
High Demand
This mode is only 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
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.
To access any of these modes:
Press the ENERGY MENU button and then
press ENTER.
Select “Operating Modes” on the menu list and
press ENTER.
Select the desired operating mode by using
the UP and DOWN arrow buttons and then
press ENTER again.
To cancel and return to the main energy menu:
