온수예열Hot-water pre-heatKeeps water warm in winter (only on some condensing boilers). Hold 온수 for 2 s to switch on or off.
연소 / 점검Burning / CheckLight bar under the screen: burning = boiler firing, check = fault.

What trips people up on this model?

  • There is no separate 온수전용 button: 외출 is hot-water-only.
  • Holding 온수 for 2 s toggles quick hot water or pre-heat. A short press only changes the temperature.
  • Set hot water above 50°C only with all taps closed, as the manual says.

It shows an error. Now what?
