What Er2
actually means.
When you confirm a temperature, the Volta sparks its burner and watches for flame with a sensor electrode; the flame icon flashes during those ten seconds. If no flame is proven, the controller stops and shows Er2. Fontana lists four causes: a disconnected or broken spark electrode, a disconnected or broken flame sensor electrode, a broken valve power wire, or a propane cylinder that is closed.

What to do when Er2 shows on the pizza ovenKind of codeIgnition and flame
The oven tried to light its burner and never proved a flame, or proved one and then lost it. The usual reasons are ordinary: a gas shutoff not fully open or a tank running dry, an igniter cracked or crusted with flour dust, a flame sensor or thermocouple that no longer reads the heat, or a draft that pulls the pilot away from it. Checking the shutoff and the tank and running the restart the manual names are fair first steps; if you smell gas, get outside first, and the valve, the sensor and every fitting stay with a technician.
Usually leads toPizza oven burner and igniter repair
Pizza oven burners cleared or replaced and igniters fitted and gapped, so the flame lights first time and burns blue and steady under the stone.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fontana Forni's own guidance for Er2 on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Hold the power button for three seconds to clear Er2.
Check that the propane cylinder valve is open and that the tank still has gas.
Leave the oven door open and wait a few minutes before one more try, so any gas from the first attempt clears the chamber.
If Er2 appears again with a full, open tank, stop and book a visit for the electrodes and valve wiring instead of trying again and again.

What not to do
Er2 is shown before the burner has ever lit. A burner that lights and then goes out during cooking gives Er6, and a broken spark generator gives its own Er8.

A booking with a code goes further when it has the code copied as shown, the model and serial from the rating plate, and a note on whether the oven still lights, heats or moves its belt. With those three, the office can match the likely part to your oven the same day.
