    23. FAULT FINDING Section 1 : Appliance operating procedure. To assist fault finding six light emitting diodes (LEDs) have been incorporated on the main control board to indicate certain functions of the board. By using these LEDs it should be possible to identify where the problem lies and to rectify. LED 1 Will remain on until the fan has produced enough air for complete combustion at low rate low rate air detector.
