in freeze protection mode, that the unit and piping directly connected to the unit be constantly circulated to prevent piping outside of the tank from freezing (if the unit is located in a generally unheated space). Because the tank has a large volume, there is no danger of freezing the tank even with a 16 hour or more carry-over between periods of electric availability.

Maximum Heat Mode (190°F): Targets a tank temperature of 190°F. Temperature differential (deadband) = 5°F. If off-peak is available, the electrical elements will turn on if the tank is 185°F or below and remain on until the tank reaches 190°F.
