Default Radiator Bleeding/Topping Up

If it's anything like my pressurised system there should be a lever
switch on the pipe work, (in my case near the pressure gauge) which you
turn to allow additional water into the system, when you reach the
operating pressure (in my case 1 bar) turn the lever back.

there is a red plastic cap on top of the gauge, with arrows pointing in an
anti clockwise direction, yet if you turn this, it acts like a cap for a
medicine bottle; it keeps clicking round and round.

I found that turning it slowly, and holding it works, bu the pressure drops
when doing this.... not goes up like i was expecting. i must be doing
something wrong?

the only braided hose i can see nearby is for the sink, i dont think there
is a lever nearby either...
