Fault Diagnosis

In the event of operating problems or trouble, the display will flash and a fault identification code
appears.
There are faults that in order to restore operation the RESET button must be pressed (ref.6 - fig. 1); or
if the boiler fails to start, it will be necessary to repair the fault (code nos. F1 to F24). Other faults cause
temporary shutdowns that are automatically reset as soon as the value comes back within the boiler's
normal working range (codes from 25 to 47).
When the boiler starts functioning normally again, the display stops flashing and the fault code disap-
pears.

fl ow sensor
Check the pump and radiator valves present in the
system and automatic by-pass
Check the fl ue
Check the wiring and the fan
Check that the electrode is correct positioned and if
necessary change it
