The Definitive Coolant Bleed Procedure

The Definitive Coolant Bleed Procedure
Hi Folks,
I hope you're all well.
I am looking for a line by line guide to bleeding the coolant system, there are bits here and bits there, people being smart and others not so.
Basically I had a water leak from the water pump to the engine, i replaced the lost coolant, about 3 liters. I used the bleed screen on the water pump to expel air from that side of the system but my temp gauge on the dashboard is now showing 1/4. Strangely if i turn off the car and turn it back on again the temp shows the true temp in the mid position but then the gauge drops back to a 1/4 within seconds.
Please give a line by line guide EG:
Thanks Peeps

Please give a line by line guide EG:
- remove filler cap
- turn on car
- turn on heater to full
- ........
Thanks Peeps
