When holding to start fire, remote shows H:12(number flashes). If I press mode then starting symbols appear and I can use it. Fire sometimes switches off then after being on being on a while.

The flashing H:12 on the AGA LUDLOW ECG remote likely indicates a heat-related delay, meaning the thermocouple is still hot and the system is waiting for it to cool down before allowing a restart. The fire may switch off after being on for a while due to the snooze mode being active, which turns off the fire after a set time period.
