Ideal F2: the flame was there and then it was not

Ideal uses F2 for a flame loss condition, which is a different event from a failure to establish flame at all. The burner lit, ran, and then the appliance stopped detecting combustion, so the investigation starts from what changed during operation rather than from what prevented ignition. Applies to: Ideal Logic and Vogue gas boilers using the F-series and L-series fault codes published by Ideal Heating Ideal publishes separate fault code lists for its Logic, Logic Max, and Vogue ranges, and the same character can carry different detail across them. Take the code from the display of the appliance in front of you and check it against the Ideal literature for that model rather than a general list. Owner-safe checks: Time how long the boiler runs before the fault appears, and note whether heating or hot water was actually produced. | Record which other gas appliances were in use each time the fault occurred. | Note whether failures happen on small demands, large demands, or both, since the pattern is diagnostic. Qualified technician: Measuring working gas pressure, testing the flame signal, and inspecting the flue and condensate arrangement are Gas Safe registered tasks. | If gas can be smelled, that single fact outranks the fault code entirely. Get everyone out, touch no switches, and telephone the emergency line for your supplier once you are outside.
