Initiating Energy Saver Mode
You can turn off the heater used to heat the
water in the hot tank to reduce the system's
energy usage by more than 50% . While in
Energy Saver mode, you can still dispense
water from your hot tank; however, it will not be
heated .
NOTE:
We recommend you power your unit off
when only room temperature filtered water
is needed .
1 . Put the Energy Saver switch in its On position .
2 . The green LED will light up, indicating your
unit is in Energy Saver mode .
3 . Because your unit is in Energy Saver mode
and your hot water heater is disabled, the red
LED hot water indicator light will turn off when
the temperature of the hot water decreases
(this can take up to 2 hours) .
4 . To resume your hot water, simply put the
Energy Saver switch in its Off position . After
about 15 minutes, the red LED hot water
indicator will light up, signaling hot water is
ready to dispense .
NOTE:
If your unit has been in Energy Saver
mode for longer than a week, we recommend
you flush out your hot water tank by dispensing
and disposing of a full glass of water from the left
spigot before enjoying your first glass of hot water .

contaminants and optimize taste of water .

droplets on the lid and tanks of your unit . This is
