Energy Saver Mode was introduced with the Bevi Standup 2.0. When Energy Saver Mode is active, several power-consuming functions are temporarily disabled, similar to a "sleep" mode. This function is designed to reduce electricity usage and extend the machine's lifespan, and can be set to activate during certain timeframes.

Can I still get a drink during energy saving mode?
Yes! Chilled, Sparkling and Hot water are disabled, but Ambient filtered water and flavors are available. Should someone need a drink, all they need to do is press the “I’m thirsty” button to get to the main dispense screen.
How do I set up, change, or disable Energy Saver Mode?
Upon installation, the install wizard will default Energy Saver mode to 10pm-6am local time. Technicians can customize the length of Energy Saver during Install, based on customer need.
This timeframe can be edited to another window of time (longer or shorter), but the range needs to be at least 3 hours. Slide the start and stop points on the bar
- If the office manager or site contact is available, ask them for the hours they would like to have Energy Saver Mode turned on. Set the hours using the selector bar and hit save. See Fig. 1 below.
- If they say they do not want it enabled, Energy Saver Mode can be disabled by checking the box in the bottom left corner of the pop-up. See Fig. 2 below.
