Abstract
A hot water supply system includes: a casinghaving an opening in a front face; a front panelcovering the front face of the casing; and a console boxattached to the casing. The front panel has a window into which the console box is to be fitted. The clearance between the window and the console box is eliminated to improve the appearance of the system, and it is provided that the front panel can be attached to the casing without problems. In order to eliminate the clearance between the windowand the console box, the windowhas a size enough for the console boxto be tightly fitted therein. In order that the console boxfitted in the windowcan move vertically and horizontally together with the front panel, a support platefor the console boxis attached to the casingwith a vertical and a horizontal play.
