Your boiler has temporarily stopped working because the water pressure inside the system has dropped too low.
Locate the filling loop valves underneath your boiler.Open both valves gently to let water into the system until the pressure gauge reads between 1.0 and 1.5 bar.Close both valves tightly and reset the boiler.
Your boiler has automatically shut down because it detected that the internal temperature has become too high, preventing it from overheating.
Check that your radiator valves are fully open to allow water to flow.Ensure there is no air trapped in the system by bleeding your radiators.Press the reset button (indicated by a flame with a cross through it) to restart the boiler.
