This water heater defaults to the Hybrid
operating mode. Available modes are listed
below and can be selected using the MODE
button.
Heat Pump (Only) Mode
—RECOMMENDED
FOR MAXIMUM SAVINGS
Heat Pump is the most energy-efficient mode
for this water heater. It takes heat from the
surrounding air to heat the water. The time
it takes to heat the water is longer in this
mode, so it may not be sufficient if you have
a high-demand situation such as a large
household or company.
Hybrid Mode
Hybrid mode combines the energy
efficiency of Heat Pump (Only) with the recovery speed
and power of the Electric (Only) mode in most water usage
situations. Hybrid mode will allow the unit to perform like
a standard electric water heater while providing significant
energy savings.
Cold Climate Efficiency setting (CCE)
For installations where ambient conditions may be considered
cold, an available Cold Climate Efficiency (CCE) setting can be
activated in the control to achieve additional energy savings
in Hybrid mode.
In some regions, rebates may be available which require
this setting to be used to qualify [e.g. compliance with NEEA
Northern Climate specification Tier 3 requirements]. Check
with your local utility for available rebates and requirements.
The CCE setting is activated by pressing and holding the
DOWN arrow and the Filter button at the same time for 5
seconds. “CCE” will display temporarily when CCE settings
have been activated [“dUC” may display on some models]. To
deactivate the CCE setting, press and hold the same buttons
[DOWN arrow & Filter button] at the same time for 5 seconds.
“Std” will display temporarily when CCE settings have been
deactivated and the water heater has returned to normal
operation of the selected mode.
A ducting kit is also available for use with your heat pump
water heater if desired. [see www.BradfordWhite.com for
details].
Ducting kits may be installed to achieve directed flow of
inlet and outlet air for heat pump operation independent of
whether the CCE setting is activated. Ducting kits may also
be installed to allow water heater installation in rooms less
than 700cu.ft. or without louvered doors, as specified in the
installation instructions.
NOTE:
Energy Guide unit performance, energy consumption
and savings are based on non-ducted installations in Hybrid
mode operation at a temperature setting of 135°F (57°C).
Electric (Only) Mode
This mode uses only the upper and lower heating resistance
elements to heat the water, stopping the cool air discharge
during heat pump operation. The time it takes to heat the
water is less in this mode, but it is the LEAST energy-efficient
mode.
Follow these steps to set Electric (Only) mode:
1. Select Electric (Only) mode using the Mode button.
2. Input the total days to remain in Electric (Only) mode using
the UP arrow, or remain in Electric (Only) mode indefinitely
by selecting “---”.
3. Press ENTER
At the end of the selected time period, the unit will switch
back to the previously selected more energy-efficient mode.
NOTE:
In this mode the green LED light will flash after 48
hours as an indication that the unti is not operating in the
most energy efficient mode. The unit will continue to operate
in this mode and does not indicate an operating issue.
NOTE:
With the CCE setting active, Electric (Only) mode can
be set for 1-7 days.
Vacation
This feature is used when you will be away from the home for an
extended period of time and hot water is not needed. In this mode,
the unit will drop the water temperature down to 50ºF (10°C) and
will use the most efficient heating mode to conserve energy while
the heater is sitting idle. The unit will automatically resume heating
one day before your return, so that hot water will be available.
For example if you will be gone 14 days, follow these steps:
1. Select VACATION by using the Mode button
2. Input total days you will be gone (in this example, 14) by pressing
the UP arrow button (the default is 7 days)
3. Press ENTER.
The unit will drop the water temperature down to 50ºF (10°C) for
one day less than you will be gone (in this example, for 13 days). At
the end of the day before you return (in this example, the 13th day),
it will automatically return to the previous operating mode and
heat the water to the original temperature setting so hot water is
available upon your return.
To access any of these modes:
1. Press the MODE button on the control to the desired operating
mode.
2. The green light will be illuminated on the chosen mode.
To Adjust the Temperature
Follow these steps:
1. Press the UP or DOWN arrow on the control panel key pad to
desired temperature.
2. Press ENTER to accept the new setting.
Note:
To change between °F and °C, press and hold MODE.
In winter months, the water heater will take longer to heat
incoming water to a preset point due to the colder temperature of
the incoming water.
