You need to find the 'filler loop' usually underneath the boiler. This will be like a braided metal hose with a valve either end with a little black lever on each valve. Both valves must be open to allow mains water in to the boiler. Fill to about 1.25 bar of pressure on the pressure guage (this should be on the front of the boiler at the bottom)

Agree with the answer but some boilers just have a single pull down valve lever whilst others use a plastic key ,check with boiler manual also ensure heating is off when you re pressure and go round bleed again and top up pressure to just over 1 bar Switch on heating watch pressure should climb to 1.5 nb ensure all valves Inc revs are fully open

The baxi solo model is a heat only and should be fed from a F&E tank in the loft unless you have had the system changed to a sealed unit with an extra red pressure vessel somewhere? If that’s the case it should have a filling loop and gauge to help fill up. If not you will need to check the cold feed to your system for an isolation valve, make sure it’s open and vent the radiators as usual.

Open the valves on the filling loop and close once pressure is reached
