there is a screw next to the heater matrix were you can purge the water system. unscrew and release the air inside the pipes. after that, check the level and refill if necessary.

Yes, best done when hot. Set heater control to max then crack the bleed screw(wherever it is) and wait till bubbles stop appearing, then close. Top up if required.
