Potterton Performa 24 - Increase pressure?

Please can someone let me know how I increase the pressure in the boiler, the gauge has dropped to zero. There are three taps underneath, do I need to turn one of them to increase the pressure?

Thanks

look for the flexi silver braided pipe under the boiler thats the filling loop.
open the valve on that and watch the gauge you can hearthe water going in.
fill to about 1.5 bar.
you'll have to bleed the rads as the pressure has gone so low.
bleed one at a time but keep checking gauge and keep filled to 1.5 bar.
