worcester heatslave 15/19 - How to Bleed Advice

Hi Everyone

Newbie here, my oil tank ran dry (Alarm failed) so getting a delivery tomorrow, a friend mentioned I will most likely need to bleed the air and after quite a bit of googling I just wanted to make sure I am going to do it correctly, as a lot of people mention it marked as P but the only P I see is on my pump, and I think that's for the Pump Pressure setting, not to bleed air (I think!! hence why I am here )
Is this the correct screw to loosen?, will have Tupperware and rag ready for oil drips.

Thank you

No do not loosen that!
Having first turned off at tank disconnect green hose from pump put hose is suitable container run until clear and bubble free.

Don't forget you may have in line filters fitted that will also need bleeding. Follow the oil line from the tank all the way to the burner to check for other bleed needs.

Just for your interest......
Plug P - the right hand one - is where you pop a pressure gauge in. The other one -V- is for vacuum.
The screw P is for pump pressure adjustment.
The red tap on the top of the burner box is very handy for maintenance but they bloody well leak!
