Time to crank up the heat (One-pipe Steam System)

I had a new Burnham Gas Boiler and Wet Return (Black Pipe) installed 8 months ago.
Just wondering what I need to do before I turn the heat on. Like flush all the water out of the Boiler, then refill it? Water is about half full in the Sight Glass.

Don't remove the water completely. A flush until the water runs clear is usually all that is needed. There is a great book available in the store on this website. https://heatinghelp.com/store/detail/we-got-steam-heat-a-homeowners-guide-to-peaceful-coexistence
