the component replaced. 

A18 

Temperature of the water tank too high 

This  alarm  is  triggered  if  the  water  inside  the 

system  does  not  circulated  and  the  temperature

10.2. 

 

Silencing alarms 

If  an  alarm  is  triggered,  hold  down  the  ON/OFF  key  a  few  seconds  to  restore  the  boiler  to  normal 

functioning. After a brief period during which the boiler checks whether the cause that triggered the alarm 
has subsided, the boiler quits alarm mode and can be restarted.  
Boiler shutdown 
The causes for the mechanical shutdown of the boiler are as follows: 

 

Abnormal fire extinguishing 

(“A02”)

 

 

WHAT TO DO: 
If alarm 

“A02” 

is displayed: the boiler switches off because there is no fuel in the boiler (tank empty). Fill 

the fuel tank, cancel the alarm and restart the boiler. 

 

Only  once  the  cause  of  the  shutdown  has  been  permanently  remedied  can  the  boiler  be 

restarted. 
 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For example: Alarm on the 
control panel display
