What setting should I use?

Winter: 난방 button, heating knob at about 22, 예약 knob at 0, 온수 knob at about 42°C (between 저온 and 중온). Nights: optional 취침. Out for days: knob into 외출.

How do I…?

Turn it on

  1. 1Press 전원 (bottom right).
  2. 2The 운전 light comes on when the boiler is allowed to run.

Heat the room to a set temperature

  1. 1Press 난방 (top right button).
  2. 2Turn the 난방 knob to about 22 — a bit left of the 25 mark at the top.
  3. 3Make sure the 예약 knob (bottom) is at 0 so the timer is not interrupting heating (inferred, see notes).

Use floor (ondol) mode

  1. 1Setup step — normally done once by the installer.
  2. 2Press 전원 so the controller is OFF.
  3. 3Turn the knobs: 난방 to 45°C, 온수 to 고온, 예약 to 7시간.
  4. 4Hold 난방 about 5 s until S1 or S2 shows. Use 난방 (up) / 취침 (down) to choose S2 = floor mode. It saves after 5 s.
  5. 5To set the floor-water temp (45–85°C): hold 취침 about 5 s; while it flashes use 난방 (up) / 취침 (down). Saves after 5 s.

Leave for a few days

  1. 1Turn the 난방 knob all the way left into the 외출 zone.
  2. 2Leave power ON and the gas valve open.
  3. 3In a hard freeze set the knob to 10–15 instead (manual advice). The timer does not work while in 외출.

Run on a timer

  1. 1Turn the 예약 knob to how long the boiler should REST: 10 min up to 7 hours.
  2. 2Run time per cycle: hold 난방 about 5 s; while it flashes set 5–60 min with 난방 (up) / 취침 (down).
  3. 3Example: 2 h rest + 20 min run, repeating. Timer is ignored while the heating knob is in 외출.

Hot water only (summer)

  1. 1No dedicated summer button on this model.
  2. 2Turn the 난방 knob to 외출: heating only runs to prevent freezing, and hot water still works in 외출 (manual).

Change the hot-water temperature

  1. 1Turn the 온수 knob. The setting flashes on the screen.
  2. 2Aim for about 42°C — just left of 중온. Range 35–60°C.
  3. 3For a bath, press the 온수 button (bath boost, 2 h 30 min).

Turn it off

  1. 1Press 전원. In winter use the 외출 position instead.

What do the words on the screen mean?

난방HeatingNormal room heating is on.
취침SleepNight saving, auto-returns after 5 h 30 min (lit in photo 70).
예약TimerRepeat timer is on.
온수Hot waterHot-water setting shown/active.
목욕BathBath boost, 2 h 30 min.
외출AwayFrost protection.
점검CheckBoiler needs checking — an error code is showing.
number (e.g. 19)TemperatureCurrent room temp, or the setting you are changing (flashes).
S1 / S2Heating methodOnly in the setup menu: S1 = room-sensor mode, S2 = floor (온돌) mode.

What trips people up on this model?

  • Turning the 난방 knob too far left goes past 10 into 외출 — heating mostly stops.
  • The button printed 온수 is the BATH boost (manual calls it 목욕) — it does not set the hot-water temperature; the 온수 KNOB does.
  • 취침 (sleep) turns itself off after 5 h 30 min and goes back to room mode.
  • The 45°C at the end of the heating knob is the top of the room-temp scale — you never need it except in the setup menu.
  • If the 예약 knob is not at 0, the boiler may pause for hours (inferred).

It shows an error. Now what?

When 점검 lights, an error code shows in the number area. Press 전원 off/on to restart (3 tries max, then wait 5 min). If it returns, call 1588-9000 with the code.
