What causes this fault?

This fault occurs when the boiler's internal computer becomes confused and tries to activate a 'flue luxury' feature that wasn't designed for this specific model. It is usually triggered by a brief electrical surge or if the boiler's software settings have accidentally been changed during a service or repair. Most of the time, the boiler simply needs to be told which model it is again to clear the error.

DIY fix possible

Locate the reset button on the boiler control panel.Press and hold the reset button for 2 to 5 seconds.Wait for the boiler to restart; the code should disappear if it was a temporary software error.
