Your boiler is notifying you that it has successfully moved into its first stage of heating operation and is functioning as expected.
This is a minor fault. Keep an eye on it and mention it at your next annual boiler service. Reset the boiler and see if it clears.
Technical description: Operating signal stage 1
What causes this fault?
This message appears when the boiler's burner has successfully ignited and is operating at its initial power level to begin warming your home. It occurs as a normal part of the start-up sequence and indicates that the gas valve and ignition system are performing correctly. You are seeing this because the control panel is simply communicating its current live status rather than reporting a mechanical failure.
