We had the same problem on our Symbol. The filter that screws onto the pump had become loose, it was allowing air in but did not leak water out. So it may be you have a loose connection between the pump and the taps.

I'm not sure if there is a official way to fill them, I normally put the filler pipe in, turn on the water and ask the ayatola to open the tap a small amount until the air stops (hot & cold). When the tank is full, I turn on the electric water heater, slowly turn on the shower and sink taps and then do the kitchen one again. This usually gets rid of most of the air.
