Following a service, the pressure gauge reads 2.5 rather than the max of 1.5.

How do I release the pressure in the boiler to the recommended maximum?

my boiler is at 2.6 bar and not igniting and radiator downstair had a small leak but not leaking anymore. How can I release the pressure

hi calum. if you drop the front panel (two screws above digital display) on the L/H side youl see the pressure releif valve (black plastic cylinder with a red tip and small lever attatched to a brass pin) press this towards the wall and observe the gauge until it goes down to 1.5 bar. If the pressure builds back up the likelyhood is you will need to replace the expansion vessel. The boiler will function safely at 2.5 bar and is fitted with an automatic blow off valve which will automatically release the pressure if it reaches 3.0 bar. Hope this helps Jim H
