I would have thought that the heating needed to be on to ensure the system had enough pressure to force the air out.
I was folowing the advice given by the plumber who installed ours. I asked him to show me how to bleed them for future reference. He did it with the heating on.
Many can be bled with the heating on, especially with combi boilers (though savio dont rate as a boiler in my book, more a box of scrap), but some older systems will draw air IN to the system if the pump is running, this is usually down to poor design of the system.
