In other words, after setting the operation start of the remote control by "ON" the operation switch, heating and hot water can be operated at the same time. In winter, heating and hot water can be operated simultaneously. In summer, only hot water is used. In order to switch between the heating / hot water combined mode and the hot water exclusive mode, respectively, it was comprised by the switching switch 104 for the heating / hot water combined and the hot water only.

In this configuration, when you want to use the boiler's heating or hot water by using the remote control, you must turn on the "on" switch at all times, especially in winter or summer, so that the user can use the heating or hot water according to their own will. There is a problem with each choice that is impossible.

In other words, if it is placed in the winter position, the heating / hot water is used together, and there is no way to delete the hot water function when the heating is used only in winter and you do not want to use hot water. It was inconvenient to repeat the operation to turn off the operation switch of the remote control when turning off the heating and using the heating again.

In addition, when hot water only mode (summer) is set on the contrary, only hot water is available, so when the boiler heating is sometimes inconvenient to switch to the heating / hot water combined mode.
