Hi guys as the post says, what temperature should the oil burner (firebird) be set to. Red dial goes up to 90 degrees

Thanks

65deg has done me for years....don't see any reason why I would need my water to be any hotter
 
My boiler instruction booklet suggest 65 deg for summer (hot water only) and up to 80 deg for winter (hot water and space heating). I generally leave it at 65, as tosullivan suggest, and have no problems. Your storage cylinder need to maintain a temperature above 60 deg anyway to prevent bacterial growth.
 
Thanks guys, the previous owners had it set to 90 degrees and you couldn't touch the rads in the house!
