Normally the clock display is not shown when
the power ON/OFF button is "OFF".
* This setting can be changed so that the clock is displayed
  even when the power button is turned "OFF".  

*  The screen display shown below is for illustration purposes only. 
  The actual display will vary depending on how the water heater is being used.
*  After a button is pressed, the display will gradually become darker to prevent unnecessary power consumption 

by the remote controller.

(Ex.: 110°F)

The  flame  symbol  is  displayed  during 
combustion  when  using  hot  water  or 
recirculation functions.

A number will flash if a
