What is Vacation Mode?

Vacation mode is a setting on your Rheem water heater that helps save energy when you’re away from home for an extended period of time. When in vacation mode, the water heater will reduce its temperature to around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. This can help save energy and lower your utility bills while you’re away.

  • Locate the control panel on your Rheem water heater.
  • Press the “Mode” button until you see “Normal” displayed on the control panel.
  • Press the “Set” button to confirm that you want to exit vacation mode.
  • The display should now show the current temperature setting for your water heater.

Note:

If pressing the “Mode” button does not work or if you do not see a “Mode” button on your control panel, consult your owner’s manual or contact Rheem customer support for further assistance.

In conclusion, getting your Rheem water heater out of vacation mode is a simple process that can be done in just a few steps. By following these steps, you’ll be able to ensure that your water heater is producing hot water when you need it and not wasting energy while you’re away from home.
