Energy Smart Mode - The controller adjusts the water
temperature to the lowest temperature required to
meet the household demands. This mode minimizes
operating costs. The controller will not adjust the
temperature higher than the user’s selected set point or
lower than 115°F.

Setting - The controller adjusts the water
temperature to approximately 80°F. This setting is
recommended when the water heater is not in use for
a long period of time. This effectively turns the water
heater down to a setting that prevents the water from
freezing.
