What Er7
actually means.
The controller opens and closes the gas through a solenoid valve. Er7 appears when the connection to that valve is disconnected or broken during operation, so the controller can no longer command the gas. Fontana's fix is to check the valve's wiring or replace the valve.

What to do when Er7 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 Er7 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 switch off, then close the valve on the propane cylinder.
Unplug the 12-volt adapter and leave the control panel closed.
Book a visit; the valve and its wiring sit behind the panel, next to the gas train.

What not to do
Er7 is an electrical connection message, not a gas leak; a smell of gas calls for the gas safety steps, not a reset. It is also different from Er3, where the valve still works but does not turn the flame down.

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.
