Error Code / IndicatorSymptom / MeaningStep-by-Step DIY FixSuggested Actions
Check gas supply
Space Heater fault screen: "Check gas supply"
Possible Cause: No gas in the bottle, or a blockage in the gas line.
Make sure there is gas in the bottle and no blockage in the gas line. At temperatures below 5°C, use Propane rather than Butane. Press "Retry" once checks are complete. If the gas supply issue cannot be resolved immediately, select an electric-only heating option instead.DIY Safe
Operational Fault
Space Heater fault screen: "Clear / open vents, retry after 10 minutes"
Possible Cause: The heater has overheated due to vents being closed or blocked (e.g. by a cushion or bag).
Remove the blockage and open any closed vents. Leave the heater for 10 minutes to cool down, then try again.DIY Safe
