Sad but true I can't remember how to work it. Decided it was best to test it before the winter really sets in but I have no idea how it works. Found the manual for it but that has confused me even more.



What are button 7 or 8 all about?

What is this warning about? I don't remember anything about the 95 number last year





I am sure I only ever pushed the round button and the one for hot waterlast time I used it - maybe I didn't though.

Button 7 is for the temperature of your ondol (water temperatures).

If you want it higher, press button 7, then press the up arrow. Lower, obviously, the lower arrow.

Button 8 is timers. If you want the ondol to come on at a specific time, use that. It explains how it is used but I am not absolutely certain.

I think the 95 thing is that if your boiler hasn't automatically refilled the water that is needed to generate it, then you will get number 95 to signal that you have to go fill the boiler up.

Bit bloody complicated that.

Any idea what temperature I want to set the water at? I presume hotter is better or is it not as economical?

We keep ours around 50 and that's hot enough to scald my hands if I'm not paying attentio nwhen I wash dishes. 45 is hte lowest setting on our boiler.

Button 2 is the power light. I guess if its lit up, then its on.

Button 3 will bring hot water to your shower/sink. Ours comes to the shower sink all year except when actually have the floor heat on. We hav to push the mokyok button during hte winter since most of the water is tied up inteh floor.

Obviously, 9 is hte power button.

Remember when in doubt, just listen to the cartoon boiler waving his hands.
