9 Fault Finding

Inthissectionfaultcodesthataredisplayed,whichCANbecarriedoutbytheUSERtorestoreapplianceoperation(Correctiveaction:...).OtherfaultcodesMUSTbesolvedbyacompetentpersononly.

Like all condensing boilers it will produce a plume of condensation from the flue terminal in cool weather. This is due to the high efficiency and hence low flue gas temperature of the boiler. It is normal and not a fault indication.

Ifanyfaultpersists,andyourappliancestilldoes not work, leave it switched off andcontactyourcompetentperson.
