BAXI Combi Instant 105e pressure

jim_1001 · Dec 11, 2020

Can anyone give me clear instructions for repressurising / topping up a BAXI Combi Instant 105e? Please see attached photo. Levers should be at top in case it appears rotated. It's not my boiler so am unsure. Thanks!

Filling loop is the stainless steel loop the black knob on the inlet side is in the off position turn it so it starts to line up with direction of valve you will hear water go in!.
If there is a similar knob or screwdriver slot on other valve at other end of loop that needs to be open as well.

Thanks for taking the trouble. I think by my photos there are two black levers / knobs, one between the steel & copper pipe & one just before the copper pipe enters the boiler. Not at house at mo so will check for definite when there. If there are two, does it matter the order in which they're open & closed? Any idea what pressure I should fill to? Thanks again

Turn this until the pressure needle is at 1bar then turn it off again

Thanks for the advice! One more thing - should boiler be powered off before7 or does it not matter?

Boiler off and system (water) cold.

Thanks for taking the time. I powered it off & left it as long as I could then opened the tap Stu-B kindly highlighted. Did the trick. Very grateful to the folks on this forum for the help.
