Do you have a question about the Pinnacle PI-399 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
when the green light flashes 4 times. what is the correction?
When the green light on the Peerless PI-399 flashes 4 times, it indicates a "Loss of Flame Signal." This means the boiler attempted to ignite but lost the flame signal during operation. The boiler will try to relight 4 times before going into lockout.
