There is a pressure release valve outside of the boiler near the bottom. Pull up on the valve until you hear the air disipate and water starts to flow. Then, just release the valve. You may have to re-bleed your radiators to rid the air pockets. Air has to be removed from the lines in order to keep the flow of water moving.

If there isn't a constant flow valve then the answer above should do. In the future you should have a constant flow valve put in to keep the furnace filled.
