18. Fault Finding Note: This fault-finding information is for guidance only. Worcester Heat Systems cannot be held responsible for costs incurred by persons not deemed to be competent. By flashing at various rates, the oval shaped facia light will indicate specific fault conditions. If this is used with other observations during a fault, then every normal fault can be identified.

Page 63
TO TEST THE PROGRAMME The test feature enables you to quickly run through the programme which has been set and check that all is correct with both the programme and the system. Pressing the YES button in response to TEST? selects the test mode. Pressing and holding down the YES button starts the clock fast running until it reaches the first switching time when the output changes and the display halts to show the time of switching and the output state.
