Abstract

PURPOSE:To resume the supply of power to a cordless remote controller where the supply of power is stopped in spite of the presence or absence of an operation state in a hot water supplier with one switch operation. CONSTITUTION:Operation-on SW setting the hot water supplier in the operation state and operation-off SW 6 setting it to an operation stop state are separately provided for the cordless remote controller 2. Even if either operation-on SW 5 or operation-off SW 6 is operated, the supply of power to a transmission/ reception means 8 and a power display part 3 is resumed and the operation of the hot water supplier is displayed.
