What causes this fault?

This message appears when your boiler’s storage tank has been emptied of its hot water, typically after someone has taken a long bath or shower. To save energy, the boiler temporarily signals that it is working to reheat the water back up to your desired temperature. It is a normal part of the system's operation and simply indicates that the cylinder is currently recovering.

This occurs more frequently in winter when the incoming mains water is much colder, meaning the boiler has to work harder and longer to reheat the tank.

DIY fix possible

Wait for the boiler to reheat the water cylinder naturally.Press the 'ECO' button to toggle the mode off if you require hotter water immediately.Check that the hot water temperature setting on the control panel hasn't been turned down too low.
