Clearing the Condensation Drain Tubes
Cleaning the Filter
In the Hybrid, eHeat™ and High Demand modes,
the heater moves air through the system and out
the back of the unit. The filter is in place to protect
the evaporator from dirt and dust.
A clean air filter is important to get the highest
efficiency. Occasionally this filter will need to be
cleaned (minimum is once a year). When the filter
requires cleaning, the Red light above the Filter
button will be illuminated and an audible beep will
sound. The screen will display instructions that the
filter needs to be cleaned. When this screen is
displayed, you can press the RIGHT arrow button for
instructions on how to clean the filter.
NOTE: If the filter gets too dirty, the unit will
automatically switch to Standard Electric mode
and energy savings will be lost.
Leave the power on and remove the filter from
the top of the unit. It is located in the top of the unit
behind the hot and cold inlet pipes. Grasp the plastic
handle and slide the filter straight up until it clears
the cover. Once it has been removed, the filter can
be wiped clean with a damp rag or rinsed with
warm water.
Once the filter has been cleaned, it can be replaced
by aligning it into the slot in the top of the unit and
sliding it down into place. When the handle is flush
with the top of the cover, it is seated.
When the clean filter has been reinstalled, press
the FILTER button and then press ENTER.
IMPORTANT: Filter must be cleaned when the alarm
is displayed. A dirty filter will make the system work
harder and result in a reduction of efficiency and
possible damage to the system. In order to get the
best energy efficiency available, make sure your filter
is clean.
There are two drain hoses that are attached to
the back of the heater. If both of these get clogged,
water will spill down the outside of the unit.
The primary drain is intended to carry all condensate
away. If it is clogged or if the hose is kinked, the
condensate will exit the secondary drain tube
and onto the floor. This is intended as a notification
to the user that the primary drain is clogged. Remove
the drain hose, clear any debris and reattach.
Periodically inspect the drain lines and clear any
debris that may have collected in the lines.
