I've looked through all 4 documents they send me for 'boiler', 'heating', 'air', 'pump', and can't find any specific reference, apart from saying that...
@allyfish Not to de-rail this topic (so I'll probably post results - if any - on a new topic) but I've just started trialling a scheduled 2°C drop of ...

- that is the immersion heater element, so that's the right thing to do. There should now be nothing which is trying to add heat to the HW cylinder. ...
You've possibly had a pressure issue, which could be the hissing sound, or maybe there's been a slow leak on the secondary return valve that's now got...
