Notes of a Native-Speaking English Teacher

Not clear what it all meant, I spun those dials like a madman and enlisted the help of several people.  As it turns out, when the 확인 light is blinking and the current temperature reads 03c, it means that the previous tenant didn't pay the gas bill on time and the service was cut off.  ;;;  Massive, massive KAF.

One staff phone call and several cold showers later, the gas was back up and running.  In our apartment, the gas has three uses: cooking burners, hot tap water, ondol room heat.  This thermostat controls the water and room heat.  

It's not exactly the owners manual, but this diagram does show the basics. I only turned it on for a split second to take the photo, so the water temperature doesn't match the thermostat setting yet.  ㅋㅋㅋ

The key things to note are:

For hot water, but not a hot room, push the green button.

For hot water and a hot room, leave the green button off.

The water temperature setting is controlled by the small dial on the left.

The room heating setting is controlled by the large dial in the middle.
