Default VT80 question regards starting

Hi all

I am a proud owner of a new VT80 and I had the turbine test running three times. An absolute joy.

I noticed that with all three starts that the turbine only ran after the second attempt.

When you start the sequence the displays indicates that the burner is heating up until around 50 to 60 degrees. Then it stops and the message says ignition fail. I also get quite a lot of white smoke.
When I start immediately again the turbine starts without any problems. (I get quite a large flame for a split second, disappears very quickly)

Is that behavior normal?
