If it is anything like the Worcester Bosch 24CDi RSF you take off the grid on the bottom of the boiler, insert the white T shaped key supplied into the hole at the left hand front and turn it a quarter turn until it locks, then turn the little grey knob anticlockwise which lets the water into the system, and watch the pressure rise on the gauge until it is about 1.5Bar with the system running.
Then close the small water valve, not too tight or you might burst it as it is quite delicate, and withdraw the key again till the next time.
I am an expert at this as I had to do it evey 10 days until Scottish Gas fixed the leak in a pipe. The stuff they used was like Radweld that you use on car radiators, or am I going back too many years?
If I can give any more assistance, dont' hesitate to ask.

On the benchmark logbook which came with your boiler it will have your installers corgi number and corgi serial number and make model serial number of your boiler, and next to where YOU will have signed to take possesion of it, it says they have left all the relevant installation/users instructions with YOU next to where you signed your name, now again from the beggining, what make and model is this worcester boiler ????
I have a 28i and there is a flexi hose under the boiler linking two pipes with a tap at each end of the flexi hose. I open both taps and watch the pressure dial closing them when the pressure rises enough. (On mine it's between 1.5 and 2)
