Heat Recovery Chiller Staging in EnergyPlus

I'm having difficulty with staging the hot water side of a Chiller:Electric:EIR with heat recovery. I have the hot water side of the condenser barrel connected to the supply side of a hot water loop in parallel with a DistrictHeating object. The demand side has a LoadProfile:Plant object that provides the load.

I want the Chiller:Electric:EIR to first try to meet the load and the DistrictHeating to provide the remainder of the heat to meet the loop setpoint. I've tried various configurations and can not seem to get the heat recovery side to control in the correct way.

Does anyone know the correct way to control the heat recovery chiller model with district heat in parallel?
