Note: The temperatures indicated are approximate. The
actual temperature of the heated water may vary.
The Vacation Setting (VAC) sets the controller at
approximately 70°F . This setting is recommended when
the water heater is not in use for a long period of time. This
effectively turns the controller temperature setting down to
a temperature that prevents the water in the water heater
from freezing while still conserving energy.
