Technical description
Flashes to indicate ignition operation (stops after detection)
What causes this fault?
This indicator is triggered when the boiler's control box sends a high-voltage spark to the burner to start the heating process. It is a normal function that occurs every time the boiler fires up and should disappear as soon as a flame is detected. If the light continues to flash without the boiler firing, it usually means the gas is not igniting or the sensor cannot see the flame.
