What setting should my boiler be on for Hive?

Do I need to change the temperature or mode for this smart thermostat to work properly?

"The setting you need to adjust on your boiler is the Central Heating Flow Temperature (sometimes just labelled with a radiator icon). This controls the temperature of the water sent to your radiators, which the Hive then manages to reach your desired room temperature."

"You want to wire it to open therm and then set room temperature to 19 °C
Set boiler flow temperature to 60 °C"
