Care and cleaning of the water heater.

Cleaning the Filter

In the Hybrid, Heat Pump (only) and High Demand/
Boost modes, the heater moves air through the
system and out the back of the unit. The filter is in
place to protect the evaporator from dirt and dust.
A clean air filter is important to get the highest
efficiency. Occasionally this filter will need to be
cleaned (minimum once per year). When the filter
requires cleaning, the Red light above the Filter
button will be illuminated and an audible beep will
sound.
NOTE: If the filter gets too dirty, the unit will
automatically switch to Electric (Fan off)/Standard
(Fan off) mode and energy savings will be lost.
Leave the power on. Remove the filter from
the top of the unit. Squeeze two tabs and lift to
remove the air filter. Once it has been removed, the
filter can be vacuumed or wiped clean with a damp
cloth or rinsed with warm water.
Once the filter has been cleaned and dried, it can be
replaced by aligning it into the slots in the top of the
unit and pushing it down into place.
Clearing the Condensation Drain Tube
The main drain is intended to carry all condensate
away. If it is clogged, the condensate will exit the
overflow drain tube and onto the floor. This is
intended as a notification to the user that the primary
drain is clogged. Remove the drain, clear any debris
and reattach.
Periodically inspect the drain lines and clear any
debris that may have collected in the lines.
See Installation Instructions for more information.
Anode Rod
The anode rod should be removed from the water
heater's tank and inspected annually, and replaced
when more than 6" (15.2 cm) of core wire is exposed
at either end of the rod.
Due to shock hazard and to prevent accidental water
leaks, this inspection should be done by a qualified
servicer or plumber, and requires that the cold water
supply is turned off before removing the anode rod.

Exterior Surfaces

Hand wash with warm water only.

After the clean filter has been reinstalled, press and
hold the FILTER button. If a heating cycle is on when
the filter fault is reset, it will continue in electric mode
to finish the cycle. After that, it will automatically
revert to the mode it was in prior to being switched.
IMPORTANT: Filter must be cleaned when the alarm
is displayed. A dirty filter will make the system work
harder and result in a reduction of efficiency and
possible damage to the system. In order to get the
best energy efficiency available, make sure your filter
is clean.
Tabs
NOTICE: Do not remove the anode rod from the
water heater's tank except for inspection and/
or replacement, as operation with the anode rod
removed will shorten the life of the glass-lined tank
and will void warranty coverage.
