Technical description

Ignition sequence (hot water operation)

What causes this fault?

This code appears when the boiler begins its internal sequence to heat the water for your taps or cylinder. It is triggered by the system's sensors detecting a demand for hot water, signaling the fan to start and the gas valve to prepare for ignition. This is a standard part of the boiler's operation and does not indicate a breakdown.

DIY fix possible

No action required; this is a status code, not a fault code.Monitor the boiler to ensure it transitions to an active heating state.If the code persists for a long time without hot water, try a reset.
