Your boiler has detected that the water pressure is too low for it to operate safely and has shut itself down.
Locate the filling loop (usually a silver flexible hose) underneath the boiler.Slowly open the one or two small taps on the hose until you hear water moving.Watch the pressure gauge until it reaches between 1.0 and 1.5 bar, then close the taps tightly.
