What Er6
actually means.
While the oven is running, the flame sensor electrode keeps confirming there is flame. Er6 appears when that confirmation stops. Fontana lists four reasons: the propane cylinder ran out, the flame sensor electrode or its wire broke, the valve failed or lost its power cable, or strong wind or drafts blew the flame out.

What to do when Er6 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.

A pizza oven error code shows as letters or numbers on the display of a conveyor, deck or rapid-cook oven, a flashing light on its panel, or a message about ignition, heat, belt or airflow.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Fontana Forni's own guidance for Er6 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 the code and switch off.
Check the tank level and swap in a full cylinder if it is low.
Turn or shelter the oven so wind is not blowing into the mouth, then relight with the door open.
If Er6 comes back with a full tank on a still day, book a visit for the flame sensor electrode and the valve.

What not to do
Er6 means the burner had been lit, unlike Er2, where it never lit. A flame that flickers and runs weak without any code is more often the propane regulator's excess-flow device.

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.
