They are suppoed to be self bleeding, but I'd found it doesn't always work.

Do the usual squashing the pipes as it warms up with the cap off.
I've seen it often appear to boil over as the thermostat open, at that point, I turn it off put the cap on and then let it cool. Top it up when cool and it's usually fine.
