The water heater will not supply hot water instantly. Depending on the operation
conditions and the selected mode and temperature the unit might need up to 1 day
to reach target state.
6.2.3 Selecting Operation Mode
The water heater has 5 operation modes. Economy is the default operation mode.
To change the operation mode, press the Mode button as often as needed to reach
preferred operation mode. New operation mode will be saved immediately. The
Hybrid mode and the E-Heater mode expire after 72 hours, the water heater will
automatically switch to Economy mode after expiration. Refer to below table for

the electric heating elements to heat up
the water. Efciency is lower and the wa-
ter heats up faster compared to economy
mode. Only active for 72 hours.
E-HEATER Very Low Very High
E-Heater only utilizes the electric heating
elements to heat up the water. It is the
least economic mode but is the fastest
way to heat up the water in the water
heater tank. Only active for 72 hours.
ECONOMY High Low
Economy mode utilizes the heat pump
and the electric heating elements to
heat up the water. It’s the default mode.

6.2.4 Water Temperature Setting
DANGER
Scald hazard!
• There is a hot water scald potential if the thermostat is set too high.
Households with small children, disabled, or elderly persons may require
a 120°F (49°C) or lower thermostat setting to prevent contact with HOT
water.
The temperature of the water in the water heater can be selected between 109 -
149 °F (43 - 65 °C). Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered
when selecting the water temperature setting of the water heater. The lower the
temperature setting, the greater the savings in energy and operating costs.
To comply with safety regulations the temperature is factory set at 120°F (49°C)
for US models and 140°F (60°C) for Canadian models. Temperature set point may
need to be changed depending on local code requirements. Water temperature
above 125°F (52°C) can cause severe burns or death from scalding. Be sure to read
and follow the warnings outlined in this manual and on the label on the outside of
the water heater.
Mixing valves are recommended for reducing point of use water temperature by
mixing hot and cold water in branch water lines. It is recommended that a mixing
valve complying with the Standard for Temperature Actuated Mixing Valves for Hot
Water Distribution Systems, ASSE 1017 be installed. Contact a licensed plumber
or the local plumbing authority for further information.
When used in demand response applications a thermostatic mixing valve
conforming to ASSE 1017 shall be installed on the hot water supply line following
all manufacturer installation instructions.
To set a new temperature for the water heater, press the up or down button, to
increase or decrease the temperature in 1-degree steps. The new temperature will
be saved immediately.
