How can I set the water pressure back up on my Vaillant ecomax boiler?

This is like the 3rd time now and every now and then the water pressure drops thus shutting the ignition off every time I turn the hot water on!

Please Help!

sounds like you have a small leak to your radiator some where

If you look underneath the bottom of the boiler there should be two tear shaped levers, one on the right hand side, the other more towards the front right of center, open one then the other and recharge the pressure to between 1-1.5, I would suggest you chech your system for leaks, especially around the rad valves,and the pressure relief pipe outlet which should be located outside roughly level with the bottom of the boiler.
