How do I relight the pilot light in a potterton kingfisher CF80?

My boiler pilot light has gone out and I can't find the instructions on how to relight. Please can anyone help me?

The CF 80 that I have seen do not have a permanent pilot light. It is lit by the control box when heat is called for.

I don't think Hi-spec has ever seen a Kingfisher CF, its a permanent pilot, follow Johns instructions and all should be well, but the Thermocouple may need repalcing

there is no button on the gas valve and ignition button to press on the kingfisher its all done on the front panel.
the reset button etc.
turn the dial to 0 then push the reset button in.

Press the button on the gas valve and hold it in, press the igniter button sharply a few times (spark symbol maybe) and watch for the pilot to light, keeping the gas button held for 10 seconds or so. Release the gas valve button slowly, and the pilot light should stay lit if all is well.
