What to check first
- Locate the external filling loop, which is a silver braided hose with one or two valves located underneath your boiler.
- Gradually open the valve(s) to allow mains water into the system while watching the pressure gauge on the front panel.
- Stop filling once the needle reaches the green zone, typically between 1.0 and 1.5 bar, and ensure the valves are fully closed.
