pressure is too low sitting at zero?

The boiler is an Ideal combi boiler. One radiator had to be bled because it was cold now the pressure is sitting at zero. Looked at boiler underneath. There is a blue and yellow knob, the stop cock and one at each end that may use a key, I think. which one do I turn to big the pressure up to 1. Or should I phone an engineer. Thanks

dont mess wit the coloured taps. they isolate the boiler from gas and water. a seporate filling link should be present usually below the boiler. the system should be topped up when cold and filled to 1 bar on dial.

there should be a filling loop from the blue tap pipework to the bigger 22mm central heating pipe
