What you can safely check
- This is normally a status or temporary message rather than a repair instruction.
- Wait for the boiler to complete the operation and consult the user manual if it persists.
How an engineer may fix it
Confirm the operating state and investigate only if it does not clear as described in the appliance instructions.
