Combi Boiler Help!!!

I opened the valve to let some pressure into the pipes and my hand slipped!:o
The pressure is now right up the top! I've turned off the boiler so the pipes don't explode! How do I let pressure out so to speak.
(I can't find the manual!)
THanks. :money:

Not really an expert, but I do have a combi boiler.
Have you tried bleeding each radiator?0 -
there is normally a drain valave near the boiler, might go out through the wall to the outside
on the left of this radiator valve, will look like that
will need a bowl underneath when you open it, or push a bit of garden hose on the bottom and run that outsideEx forum ambassador

I don't think anything will explode as the pressure relief valve should vent if the pressure gets too high.
As headcovers suggested bleeding a radiator should lower the pressure albeit slowly.I love my spell checker, it stops me making all sorts of stupid smelling mistakes. :doh:0 -
Sorted. Didn;t have a pressure release valve so I bled a few of the radiators with the key and the pressure dropped. Thanks.0
