Yes, so this is what I was talking about when I mentioned that there must be another valve(s). In Bike Dr's photo, the valves are set up in "Normal" mode. The COLD #9 valve is open to allow water to fill the water heater>the return line from the water heater that carries hot water has this white turn valve that is open, allowing hot water to continue through the line to the supply the HOT side of the manifold>finally, the HOT #9 is closed to prevent cold water from entering the HOT side of the manifold.
Tropical, if your system is plumbed similarly, then you need to try to do as Bike Dr suggests and copy his valve set up for normal operation. Open COLD #9, close HOT #9, and open the hot line valve coming from the water heater to the HOT side of the manifold.
