EXPLANATION
The room fan air is started automatically after a
short delay. This is to allow the heat exchanger to
warm up, helping to avoid cold draughts.
This is caused by grease, oil or dust on the heat
exchanger. This will stop after a short time.
This is simply expansion and contraction noise
from the heat exchanger.
This is the sound of the solenoid gas valves
opening and closing to regulate the gas flow.
This is to remove residual heat from the heat
exchanger and stops once the appliance cools.
