There are three major fault codes that will be
displayed in the time digits of the upper
clock display to the left of the colon. Minor
fault codes are displayed in the time digits to
the right of the display colon, these are used
to direct the technician to more specific
locations for diagnosis. Major fault codes
are as follows:

Temperature runaway. Membrane

switch shorted. Alarm is continuous, if
cancel key is pressed alarm will stop, if fault
still present alarm will repeat. If membrane
switch is disconnected the alarm will only
