Any Ariston boiler experts about?

[Grant76]

I have a fairly new Ariston boiler which when cold is giving me an E-02 error code (Loss of pressure)

All you have to do to remedy this is to get the pressure back up by filling it with water.

To save me calling Ariston then having to hang about for an engineer I was wondering if any of you knew the correct position for the two valves under the boiler, I get the impression they are not correct hence the loss of pressure

Many thanks

Great, thanks guys!

I am no expert but I have an old ariston combi, the two valves should be in the off position at most times. if the pressure is low turn them both to on untill you get to about 1 on the pressure dial.

Thanks, do you happen to know which position is off? i.e. which direction the valves should be facing

Thanks

All the valves do is let water in from the mains to the rad side of the system. If they are in the wrong position the gauge on the boiler will either go up to the mains water pressure (ie over 3 bar) and will start leaking from the safety valve outlet (outside) or it will stay where you last left it when in closed position. There is no right or wrong position for the valve. It is either open or closed. The problem you have is as above, a leak on the system somewhere.
