FF means water is not entering properly. Check the tap, clean the hose filter, then call.
Model compatibility: Bertazzoni reuses codes across series and model years, so FF may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
FF is a water inlet system failure; check the tap, clean the hose filter and contact service if it continues.
What the manual prescribes
The 18 inch and 24 inch user manuals describe FF as a failure of the water inlet system. They prescribe three steps:
Verify that the inlet tap is open and water is running through it.
Disconnect the inlet hose from the tap and clean the filter inside it.
If FF is still showing afterwards, contact service.
The hose step in practice
The filter is a small screen that keeps grit out of the machine. Close the tap before disconnecting, lay a towel beneath the connection, and fasten the hose firmly before the tap is opened again.
What the entry does not cover
Which internal part failed is not stated, and no cause other than the tap and the hose filter is listed. A closed or restricted supply is the single cause the owner is asked to rule out. Anything beyond the inlet connection requires opening the machine, a job for a technician with the power off.

Why the tap and filter come before service
The manual treats a closed or restricted water supply as the only cause an owner is asked to rule out. It places the tap and the hose filter ahead of any call.
