I am a dummy....How can I top up the water pressure?

I have a combination boiler - Vaillant TURBOmax VUW 242E/282
The pressure gauge indicates pressure as zero.
How can I top up the pressure?

I am a dummy and have no knowledge of boilers. (I am a foreigner)
Is it something that can be done easily... or ... should I call a professional?

Thank you.

there should be a filling loop attached to the cold water feed to the boiler at the rear underside of it. The loop is a piece of flexi stainless steel pipe about 9 inches long with a small valve on. to top up boiler just open valve to let cold water in and watch pressure guage go up to recemended pressure in boiler hand book then turn valve to closed position. i am not a plumber but have done this to my own boiler in past. i hope this helps.
