In the operators manual it states the Electric Heating Element is a secondary heat
source for heating both the interior and the domestic hot water during low
heating demand situations (such as when moderate ambient temperatures
exist and/or when there is a low demand for domestic hot water).
An electric heating element in the Hydrohot is heating the hydrohot water.
