Ensure the filling loop is shut, even to the point of removing the braided hose.
If this doesn't cure the problem and it continues to rise, there is a problem with the domestic heat exchanger 'mixing', replacement of the DHE being the only solution, these boilers (only seen a few) use the Worcester cdi DHE (see question DIRECTLY below this one).
