Low
43 on Ferroli Optimax

Your boiler has paused itself because the water pressure in the system is falling outside of the safe operating range, but it should restart automatically once the pressure is corrected.

Monitor it

This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.

DIY fix possible

Check the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; it should ideally be between 1 and 1.5 bar.If the pressure is too low, use the filling loop to top up the system until the needle reaches the 1.5 bar mark.If the pressure is too high, bleed a small amount of water from a radiator to drop the pressure.Wait for the boiler to detect the correct pressure and clear the code automatically.
