Possible Causes

Incorrect gas valve adjustment, Flue terminal affected by wind (downdraft), Burner contamination, Faulty ionisation electrode or cable

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not attempt to adjust gas settings yourself. Only a qualified gas technician may work on combustion settings.

  • Observe conditions: Note if A09 occurs only during strong winds or specific weather. This can indicate flue terminal siting issues.
  • Check flue terminal surroundings: Ensure no new structures, vents, or obstacles have been added near the terminal that could cause turbulence.
  • Technician – combustion analysis: Perform a flue gas analysis on the Beretta boiler and adjust the gas valve according to manufacturer specifications.
  • Technician – clean burner and electrodes: Remove burner, clean surfaces, and inspect ignition/ionisation electrodes. Replace if worn or cracked.
