Technical description

DHW mode: Pump pre-run. The pump prerun for domestic hot water mode is activated.

What causes this fault?

This status code appears when the boiler detects a demand for hot water and is preparing the system to deliver it. It occurs because the internal pump needs to run for a few seconds to circulate water through the heat exchanger before the burner ignites. It is a sign that the boiler is functioning exactly as intended and is not an indication of a breakdown.
