# Fontana Forni flashing flame icon: the Volta pizza oven is lighting

When you confirm a temperature, the Volta starts its ignition sequence and the flame icon flashes for up to ten seconds.

## What Flashing flame icon actually means.

When you confirm a temperature, the Volta starts its ignition sequence and the flame icon flashes for up to ten seconds. Once the flame is proven, the icon stays lit and steady for as long as the burner is heating. It is a status light, not a problem.

What to do when Flashing flame icon shows on the pizza oven

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

No part of the oven has failed; the display is reporting a state someone chose or the oven entered on its own. A cool-down keeps the blowers turning after the heat is off until the cavity or the tunnel has dropped to a safe level, an energy save setting lets the decks sag between rushes, and a menu lock stops anyone on the line from changing the bake times. No part is needed: letting the cool-down run out, or the key sequence in the manual, brings the oven back.

### Usually leads to No repair

Keep the door open during the flashing phase, as Fontana asks for lighting.

### Shows up as Pizza Oven Error Code on a Deck, Conveyor or Rapid-Cook Display

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.

### Make Fontana Forni

A Fontana Forni visit leaves time for the door and the dial thermometer, two small parts that decide whether an owner trusts the fire at all.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Fontana Forni's own guidance for Flashing flame icon on its pizza ovens. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Keep the door open during the flashing phase, as Fontana asks for lighting.

02

Wait for the icon to turn steady before closing the door to preheat.

03

If the icon is still flashing when ten seconds are up, expect Er2 and follow that code's steps.

### Cleared?

The code has left the display, the decks or the tunnel come up to the set heat and hold it through a full service, the belt keeps its speed and the blowers run steady, all with no part changed. If the same code returns within a week, or on the next busy night, say so when you book.

### What not to do

A flashing flame icon on its own is not an error, only the ignition window. It is also not the Wi-Fi indicator, which flashes when the oven has no network.

## Questions about Flashing flame icon.

### Can I clear Flashing flame icon myself?

Keep the door open during the flashing phase, as Fontana asks for lighting.

### How long should the flame icon flash on my Fontana Volta?

Up to ten seconds. It should turn steady as soon as the burner lights; a longer flash ends in Er2.

### The flame icon on my Volta is steady but the oven is heating slowly. Why?

A steady icon only says the burner is lit. Slow heating can come from preheating with the door open, a weak propane supply or a tripped excess-flow device in the regulator, which Fontana lists for low temperatures on High.

### Does the Fontana Volta flame icon flash again while cooking?

The manual describes it flashing only during ignition and staying steady while the oven heats. If the flame is lost during cooking, the display shows Er6 instead.
