PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
The Unit does not ignite when water goes through the unit.	• Is the flow rate over 3.0l/min? (p. 19)• Check for the filter on cold water inlet. (p. 20)• Check for reverse connection and cross connection.• If you use the remote controller, is the power button turned on? (p. 19)
The fan motor is still spinning after operation has stopped.	• This is normal. After operation has stopped, the fan motor keeps running for 15 ~ 75 seconds in order to re-ignite quickly, as well as push all exhaust gas out of the flue.
~ REMOTE CONTROLLER (OPTIONAL) ~
PROBLEM POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
Remote controller does not display anything when the power button is turned on.	Press the ON/OFF button.If the light does not light up →• Make sure the unit has power supply.• Make sure the connection to the unit is correct.(p. 17)
An ERROR code is displayed. Please see the p.22
Remote controller can not change the set temperature.	Is power light flashing?If it is not, locate priority controller and turn off, or wait for 10 mins on inactivity
