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 ovenKind of codeMode, 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.

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.
Keep the door open during the flashing phase, as Fontana asks for lighting.
Wait for the icon to turn steady before closing the door to preheat.
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.
