Low pressure in Glow Worm Flexicon 30sx

I bled the radiators in my house and ever since the boiler will not start due to low water pressure. The display reads 0.4 bar. In the manual it says to re-fill the boiler but I can't figure out how to do this. With the way things are, I cannot afford a plumber at present. Can anyone put me on the right track with this.…

That gloworm flexicon needs to be at at least 0.5 bar of pressure but ideally get it up to at least one...There should be a filling loop in your hotpress, might be a silver hose with a black lever or a penny valve, you need to open that up and let more water in the system.....If he did not hook it up to the mains you may have a small tank in the attack, ideally you should do away with it and get a pressure reducing valve so it is mains fed for good
