Press MODE to enter mode programming, press Down to cycle through to desired mode (LCD flashes until confirmed), then press MODE to confirm selection. Standard mode maintains the desired temperature. Note that the last measured spa temperature displayed is current only when the pump has been running for at least 2 minutes. Std will appear on the display momentarily when you switch into Standard Mode. Economy mode heats the spa to the set temperature only during filter cycles. Ecn will appear solid when the temperature is not current and will alternate with the temperature when the temperature is current. Pressing SYNC/JETS while in Economy mode puts the spa in Standard-In-Economy mode, (SE) which operates the same as Standard Mode, then reverts to Economy Mode automatically after 1 hour. Press DOWN or UP followed by LIGHT to revert the mode to Economy immediately. Sleep mode heats the spa to within 20F (11C) of the set temperature only during filter cycles. SLP will appear on the display until mode is changed.
