How can I find the water pressure of my boiler. It stoped working and I got an F.22 message (water pressure 0.4 bars only). I turned on the tow gray keys under the boiler for a few seconds then off again and my boiler started to work. However, how can I find out what the current water pressure in my boiler is ?(I am worried that I may have increased the pressure to more that 1.5 bars).

Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Little round pressure gauge under the drop down flap. Let water in so that the needle is about a third of the way round.
 
as dave says the "-" button alternates the display between pressure & temperature. on the older displays the new displays automatically display the pressure.
 
Thanks to all of you for trying to assist. However, I am a real beginner when it comes to boilers. Hence my following question....where is button
"-" which you are referring to? immediately under the boiler display there are only two buttons one has an exed out flame sign and the other an "i" sign!!

Once again pls. excuse my ignorance.
 
Will repeat my earlier comments since I think they may have gone astray. I found the button you are referring to. It is marked "i" ("i" for Information). When I pushed it the display showed temperature and pressure (I think!). In my case the pressure was 5.31. I am assuming that this means just over half a Bar(and not over 5 Bars). If this is the case, should I increase the pressure?

Once again, my apologies for being sooooooo ignorant about such things.
 
i button will give you a status code..

S.31

the guage on bottom right, should be enough, providing needle in green/grey section then its fine


Four grey buttons under screen, lower left is the minus or "-" which will give pressure
