About the feature buttons on the user interface.
Vacation Or Away
This feature is used when you will be away from
the home for an extended period of time and hot
water is not needed. In this mode, the unit will drop
the water temperature down to 50ºF (10°C) and will
use the most ef¿ cient heating mode to conserve
energy while the heater is sitting idle. The unit will
automatically resume heating one day before your
return, so that hot water will be available.
For example if you will be gone 14 days, press the
VACATION OR AWAY button, press the UP arrow
button until the display reads 14 days (the default
is 7 days) and press ENTER. The unit will drop
the water temperature down to 50ºF (10°C)
for 13 days. At the end of the 13th day, it will
automatically return to the previous operating
mode and heat the water to the original
temperature setting.
The green light will be illuminated when this
feature is on.
Stop Cold Air
The Hybrid and eHeat™ modes save energy by
using heat from the air to heat the water. The
warm air is pulled through the system by fans and
is then cooled. That cool air then moves out the
back of the heater.
You can temporarily stop the cold air and fan
noise coming from the unit by pressing the STOP
COLD AIR button.
To adjust the number of days this feature will be
on, simply use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons
and press ENTER (the default is 3 days). The unit
will automatically return to the previous operating
mode after the number of days selected has
passed.
This mode should only be used on a temporary
basis because you do NOT get the energy savings
while in this mode.
The green light will be illuminated when this
feature is on.

High Demand
(on some models)
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.
The green light will be illuminated when this
feature is on.
Control Lock
The control pad can be locked out to prevent
accidental key presses.
Simply press and hold the LOCK button for three
seconds. The display will show "controls are
locked" and the green light will be illuminated
when this feature has been activated. No other
key presses will be allowed when the controls are
locked.
To deactivate the lock, press and hold the LOCK
pad for three seconds. The green light will fade
and the screen will go to the default display.
