What the manual says
Manufacturer manualFlame On Before Gas Valve On
What causes this fault?
This fault occurs when the boiler's internal sensors detect a flame signal even though the gas valve hasn't been told to open yet. The most common reasons are a damaged flame sensing electrode that is sending a false signal, a gas valve that is leaking slightly, or a glitch in the main circuit board's electrical logic.
Engineer required
This is a high severity fault. Stop using the boiler and call a Gas Safe registered engineer. Do not attempt gas-related repairs yourself.
Avoid the next call-out bill
A cover plan would handle faults like 4.6: no call-out fees, no surprise bills.
