Technical description: Burner control unit state (0=burner control unit OK)
What causes this fault?
This code appears as a status communication between the boiler's internal computer and the burner system. It indicates that the self-testing sequence has been completed successfully and the burner control unit is functioning exactly as it should. Because this is a positive status update rather than a malfunction, your boiler has not actually stopped working.
