| Fault | Cause | Measure |
|---|---|---|
| Product does not start up: - No hot water - Heating remains cold | The gas isolator cock installed on-site and/or the gas isolator cock on the product is closed. | Open both gas isolator cocks. |
| The power supply in the building is disconnected. | Check the fuse in the building. The product switches on automatically when the power is restored. | |
| The product is switched off. | Switch on the product ("Switching on the product" section). | |
| The heating flow temperature is set too low or to the Heating off position, and/or the hot water temperature is set too low. | Set the heating flow temperature and hot water temperature ("Setting the heating flow temperature" section/-* "Setting the hot water temperature" section). | |
| The system pressure is insufficient. Low water pressure in the heating installation (fault message: F.22). | Fill the heating installation ("Filling the heating installation" section). | |
| There is air in the heating installation. | Have your competent person purge the heating installation. | |
| After three unsuccessful attempts to ignite the flame, the product switches to fault mode (fault message: F.28). | Press the fault clearance key for one second. The product makes another attempt to ignite the flame. If you have been unable to eliminate the ignition fault after three fault clearance attempts, consult a competent person. |
|
| Hot water generation functioning correctly; heating does not start up. | The external controller is not set correctly. | Set the external controller correctly (-* Controller operating instructions). |
