Under the boiler a little right of center there is a blue/other colour knob. Turn this anticlockwise [as you look up] [twist from right to left] This is the mains inlet tap to let water into the boiler and create the pressure shown on the guage 0.5 bar is the absolute nin.
allow the water to flow in until the guage reads about 1 bar then turn off the knob -not too tight as these are plastic
If you allow too much pressure- do not worry, there is an automatic relief valve.
If the boiler persists in loosing pressure, look for a leak in all pipes to & from radiators. If no leak then check the pressure relief valve outlet pipe, it usually goes through the wall to the outside. Look at the end for water drips & if there are drips replace valve
