The Kenmore Elite Hybrid Electric Water Heater is an integrated

heat pump water heater unit, having an 850 Watt compressor and

an external coil heat exchanger with backup electric elements.

When in Efﬁ ciency Mode the heat pump draws heat from the

ambient air in the room and transfers it to the water in the tank

through the coil heat exchanger. While in Electric Mode the water

heater functions like a standard electric water heater, relying

on the electric elements to heat the water. A Hybrid Mode is

available that relies primarily on the heat pump to heat the water

while the electric elements only function during high demand

periods. The more often the unit operates using the heat pump,

rather than the elements, the more efﬁ cient the unit will be.

The large tank capacities of the Kenmore Elite Hybrid Electric

Water Heaters are intended to take optimal advantage of the

heat pump’s capability to heat water for large families or those

having higher than normal hot water requirements. The larger

capacities enable the units to operate in the maximum efﬁ ciency

mode more often than other models having lower capacities.

These Electric Heat Pump Water Heaters use about half the

electricity of a comparably sized conventional electric water

heater when operating in the Efﬁ ciency Mode and provide up to

1/2 ton cooling capacity and dehumidiﬁ cation. They are designed

for indoor, residential applications for installation in a basement,

garage or utility room.
