It is a built-in safety sequence designed to ensure the condensate trap is full, preventing harmful flue gases from escaping into your living space. The boiler will typically resume normal operation once it has finished this protective cycle.
DIY fix possible
Wait for approximately 10 to 20 minutes for the programme to finish automatically.Do not turn the boiler off during this process.The boiler will return to normal operation and show its usual temperature display once complete.
