Technical description: Burner ignited
What causes this fault?
This status occurs when the boiler has successfully completed its ignition sequence and the burner is now actively heating your water. It is a sign that the internal gas valve has opened and the spark electrode has ignited the fuel to provide heat for your radiators or hot water tank. This is part of the boiler's normal operation and indicates the system is working exactly as it should.
