Can someone help me use my thermostat? I know I push the first and third button down to heat the water, but I don't know how which button (s) I push to heat my apartment. Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Just the 2nd button? Can I turn the knob on 1hr/2hr/etc? I assume those are timers...
Thanks so much! |

If it is like mine the 1hr 2 hr knob is for when you want the heating to kick in.
So if you are heading out for a few hours set the knob to 3 and push the second button. The heating will start in 3 hours. If you want heating immediately set the knob back to 0hrs. |

Really? I thought it was like...1 hour if you want the heating to only work for 1 hour/2 hour/etc/ |

Your might be different, but for mine, a setting of four will turn the heat on every four hours for like... 10 minutes or so. Keeps it nice and toasty in here. |

I hate to piggy back on another thread, but that's better than having 20 different ondul threads on here. Has anyone used this before?

I can control the heat of the floor, but that is unfortunate as I live do not live in the floor. I live above ground in the air. The lowest I can set the ondul is 40, so in a few hours the apartment is roasting. I then shut off the ondul so in a few hours the apartment is freezing. Rinse and repeat. Any helpin regulating the temp. is appreciated.
Mods, can you also make a heating thread, maybe on the Q&A form so we don't have to post the same questions every fall? |

전원 = On/Off
난방/온수 - Heating/Water (Floor takes priority)
온수/난방 - Water takes priority
온수(고온) - Maximum water heat.
온수(저온) - Lowest water heart.
IRRC that doesn't mean temperature of the water, but how long it takes to heat. I always use 고 but I'm told it saves gas.
가동 = Operation light
물보충 = Water supply
외출 = Going out for a Pizza (lowest settings) |

Based on your picture, the left pink button (난방) is to turn on your floor and the right pink button (온수) is to turn on your hot water. |

난방 and 중 should both be switched to on.
The former means "heated room" and the latter means "floor".
Ondols are great. They feel like sexy. |
