What to check first

  1. Check the system pressure gauge on the front of the boiler; if it is below 1 bar, locate the filling loop.
  2. Open the filling loop valves to top up the system until the needle reaches 1.5 bar, then ensure the valves are tightly closed.
  3. Restart the boiler to see if the fault clears.
