Q:Howto cleanthe filter7
A:Leavepoweron andremovefilterfromtop of unit.Filtercan be
vacuumedcleanor rinsedwith warmwater.A dirtyfilterwill reduce
waterheaterefficienc!!
Modes:
q):Whatis HeatPump(only)?
A:HeatPump(only)isthemost-efficientmode.tttakesheatfrom
the airto heatwater,therebycoolingthesurroundingair.Slower
recoverybut most-efficientmode.
q):Whatis Hybrid?
A:TheHybridmodecombinesbenefitsof HeatPump(only)withthe speed
andpowerof StandardElectric.Thisprovidesgreatperformancewith
lessenergy.
q):Whatis HighDemand/Boost?
A:HighDemand/Boostcan beusedwhen hotwater usageishigher
than normal.Theunit willbelessefficientbutwill heatwaterfasterin
responseto longwaterdraws.Forall normaldraws,the unit willstill

q):Whatis Electric/Standard(Fanoff)?
A:Electric/Standard(Fanoff)modeusesonlythe resistanceheatersto
heatthe water.Thisgivesfasterhot waterrecoverythan Hybridmode,
but usesmoreenergy.Thismodeoperateswithoutthe fan,stopping
