Hot is when you want to open the bleeder. The pressure in the system helps with bleeding. Only bleed cold when you have replaced a component that required draining the coolant.

Don't expect your buddy who is installing the radiator to drive the car for a week and thoroughly bleed it daily. Every time the system is opened up the bleeding process starts again from scratch.
