how can i fill my boiler?

how can we fill our sime friendly format 80 boiler to get the right pressure. we have recently moved into property with this boiler but we have not got a manual

Hello.
Bear in mind i am no heating expert, However when i needed to increase the pressure on my boiler i was informed the following.
Turn the power off to the boiler and under the boiler there should be a flexible hose with a plastic tap on it . Turn the tap to allow water back into the system and turn it off when the pressure reaches number 1 0n the dial.
I was told if the pressure keeps dropping then there must be a leak on the system..normally from a radiator valve.
Hope it helps
