The GC number on your boiler's data badge identifies the exact appliance and production years, as recorded in the UK Product Characteristics Database.
| GC number | Appliance (register name) | Produced |
|---|---|---|
| 47-673-03 | Avanta Plus 35c | 2005–present |
| 47-673-02 | Avanta Plus 28c | 2005–present |
| 47-673-04 | Avanta Plus 39c | 2005–present |
Appliance names and production years are taken from the UK Product Characteristics Database (the SAP/SEDBUK register). Where a GC number is also printed in this model's own manufacturer manual, both sources were checked to agree.

External interlock circuit is open; boiler shuts down
Control stop: set flow temperature (t1) has already been reached and the heating demand still exists (3 till 10 minutes).
Control stop: measured flow temperature (t1) is higher than the flow temperature set (Tset flow).
Shut down: maximum temperature rise is exceeded or if the dT between the supply and return temperature ≥ 45°C or a rate of rise in the flow temperature > 1°C/sec.
é0 Your boiler is perfectly healthy and is simply resting in its normal standby state, waiting for a signal to provide heating or hot water.

é7 Your boiler has detected that the water pressure inside the system is far too low to function safely.
Your boiler has detected that the water pressure inside the system is far too low to function safely.
What to check first
- Locate the filling loop (usually two silver taps connected by a braided hose) underneath the boiler.
- Gradually open the taps to let mains water into the heating system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.
- Close both taps tightly and check the display to see if the error has cleared.
Parts commonly replaced
- Pressure relief valve
- Filling loop
- System pressure sensor
