refilling my Vaillant 282 boiler

[judpa2]

can anyone help me , I am trying to refill my Vaillant Turbomax VUW 282/1 E combi boiler

I have just moved in and dont have the instructions . I have searched online and the advic seems to be to find a flexi hose but this model doesnt appear to have one

Im thinking there must be a valve somewhere but without tearing down the kitchen I have no idea what I am looking for ,

please help me before I resort to binge drinking on a Monday night !!!

oh yes it does

mabye not right under the boiler but

somewhere

look for the valves on the pipework the hose may be removed

as it should be but rarely is

Found the sucker ! it was behind a built in unit so a few screws to put back but at least I have hot water, central heating and a fully pressurised boiler !
