Heating Mode
TO SELECT A HEATING MODE:
- Press plus button
or minus button
to navigate between the 2 modes (Smart / Heat+). The selected mode will blink. - Press the Confirm button
to confirm the selected mode. - Once the heating mode is selected, the homepage will appear following your choice.
SMART
This is the default mode in which the water heater operates. In Smart mode the electronic control system will automatically manage the 2 heating elements, according to the quantity of hot water used, so as to optimize delivery and consume the least amount of energy. In Smart mode the set temperature of the upper element is 152 °F, whereas the lower element will heat between 113 °F and 152°F. Smart is the recommended mode for families of 4 or 5 with average water use, and will allow for a FHR of up to 80 gallons.
HEAT+
The Heat+ mode optimizes performance over energy savings, allowing the water heater to produce larger quantities of hot water. In Heat+ mode, both heating elements are heated at 158°F. This mode allows the water heater to deliver, in the same conditions as the FHR test, 100 gallons of hot water.
CUSTOM (Available in future update)
The Custom mode allows you to program a typical weekly cycle of use: you can select the Smart mode or Heat+ mode for a certain period of time by one hour increments, depending on your hot water requirements.
NOTICE: Never switch off the water heater. If the water heater is not going to be used for a period of time please use the vacation temporary function.
