Reset control  by pressing start button for 1 second and releasing. Then press again the same way 

to attempt a normal start command. Repeat up to 10 times as necessary to see if this overcomes 

the issue as it may resolve itself eventually.

Check to see if gas is present at gas appliance inlet. (Check gas supply is on, the gas line purged of 

air and the supply pipework is free of blockages or contamination)

Rectify and perform start 

cycle to clear the Error code. 

Try to light the fire as normal.

No gas on appliance 

inlet

Clean the pilot free of any dirt, dust carbon granules or lint, especially around the brass body of the 

bunsen burner and its gas and electrical connection and the area around the flame ports and the 

spark plug and electrode tip. Check the electrode gap is 3- 4 mm.

Rectify and perform start cycle 

to clear the Error code. Try to 

light the fire as normal. 

Replace pilot if necessary

Pilot contaminated with 

lint or other materials

Check ignition cable for damage and listen and watch for tracking out of spark to see if it is present 

but not making it to the electrode tip on the pilot burner.

If cable damaged, replace 

cable. Reset error by 

performing a normal start 

cycle and try to start again. 

Replace pilot if necessary.
