Technical description: Resetting the main menu function values to their default values
What causes this fault?
This code appears because the boiler's control system is currently undergoing a manual reset of its internal memory. It is usually triggered purposefully by a person accessing the service menu to clear custom settings rather than being caused by a mechanical failure. Once the process completes, the boiler should resume normal operation using its original factory instructions.
