Any boiler experts in?

I have a worcester greenstar ri condensing boileer fitted. Recently i removed a rad in the kitchen while i decorated (had shitty wood look panels all over, including behind the rad) I have fitted the rad back on and bled it through but i need to know if the boiler tops its self up as i cant find any valves/gauges on the boiler. All the valves that are around it are already open. Ive had a look through the manual but there is nothing specific about this.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

The Ri is a regular boiler, so chances are its fed from a feed and expansion tank in the loft, meaning it should fill itself on gravity.

If its a Combi somewhere close to the boiler there will be a fill loop valve direct off mains water to fill the sealed heating system to keep it at correct pressure. If a normal boiler its fed from a tank in the loft normally.

The Ri isnt a Combi or a system boiler. Refit the rad, open the lockshield and wheelhead valves and bleed. The system will fill from the header tank in the loft.
