Fig. 8.1

The boiler will let you know of any faults by the flashing screen and code.
There are different types of codes that can be divided up as follows:
'0Axx' for resettable faults (Fig. 8.1). (Before resetting the fault you will need to 

wait for the boiler to finish its post ventilation function, which lasts approximately 

60 seconds.
'0Exx' and 'FExx' for non-resettable anomalies.
The 'xx' suffix stands for the fault code described in the following tables.
