Fault

Pump water shortage

 Fault display

Fault messages have priority over all other displays. If a 
fault develops in the boiler, the display shows a fault code 
instead of the basic display. A plain text display explains the 
displayed fault code. 
Example for F.75: "Fault Pump water shortage".

If multiple faults occur at the same time, the display shows 
the corresponding fault codes for two seconds each in 
sequence.

 

>

If your boiler displays a fault message, contact your 
approved competent person.

You can use the "Live monitor" function to call up status 
messages about the status of your boiler
(

¬ section 6.2

).
