What to try first

Locate the filling loop (a silver flexible hose) connected to the underside of the boiler.Open the valves on the filling loop to allow water into the system.Watch the pressure gauge on the front of the boiler until the needle reaches the green zone (typically 1.0 to 1.5 bar).Close both valves firmly and ensure the boiler resets.
