Fault finding

Blocked pilot burner

Blocked chimney

Safety thermostat

Thermocouple defective

Thermocouple makes no contact

Gas supply closed

Temperature is set too low

Control knob in position (

 ) (pilot

burns )

Control knob in position (

l

)

Flue safety device closed the gas
supply

Gas supply closed

Safety thermostat has closed the gas
supply because the water
temperature was too high

Hot water storage empty

Cause cannot be determined

Condensation of (flue) gasses

Insufficient sealing of the water
connections (thread)

Leakage from other water- appliances

or pipes near by

Gas smell

Pilot extinguishes

Insufficient or no
hot water

Water leakage

If you smell gas you should immediately close the main gas
tap  you should not light any fire or switch on light, electrical
switches or bells. Open windows and immediately contact
your installer or the local gas company.

Clean the pilot burner

Find the cause and remove it.

Set the temperature regulator at a lower temperature.

Replace the thermocouple

Restore the connection

Open the gas tap

Set the temperature regulator at a higher temperature

Turn the temperature regulator completely clockwise; turn
control button to “on” ( ); turn the temperature regulator to
the desired position, preferably position 4. The appliance
now operates fully automatically.

Put the appliance into operation.

Press the reset button - if present - on the safety thermostat
and put the appliance into operation. If this occurs more
often then you should inform your installer.

Open the gas tap and put the appliance into operation.

Set the temperature regulator at a lower temperature and
reignite the pilot burner.

Reduce the consumption of hot water. Allow the appliance
time to heat the water.

Turn the control button to the (

l

) position. Close the gas tap

and inform your installer.

See “Condensation”.

Tighten the threaded connections.

Trace the cause.
