Operating Instructions
Please read these instructions carefully
before using the boiler. These instructions
are approved for The Alde Compact 3010
boiler tted in caravans, motor caravans and
buildings in accordance with CE no. EMC e5 02
0138, 845 BP-0003. Installation and repairs
may only be carried out by a professional.
National regulations must be adhered to.
Boiler Design
The boiler consists of three eccentrically-tted
cylinders (heat exchanger, water jacket for the
heating system and, outermost, water jacket
for hot water). The two outer pipes, and their
ends and connectors are made of stainless
steel, while the heat exchanger is made of
aluminium. The heat exchanger is divided into
two semi-circles. The burner is located in the
upper half, being the combustion chamber, and
the combustion gases are expelled through
the lower half. The burner unit is tted on
the end of the heat exchanger. It consists of
a combustion fan, burner, solenoid valve and
intake/exhaust connections. Two heating
cartridges are tted to the water jacket of the
heating system. Maximum output is 3.15kW,
depending on model.
Description of Functions
Using LPG
When LPG operation is selected on the control
panel, the combustion fan starts. When the
fan speed is correct, it signals the circuit
board that the boiler can be it. The circuit
board sends ignition spark to the spark plug
at the same time as it sends electricity to the
solenoid valve, which opens to allow gas in. The
burner ignites, and a sensor transmits a signal
back to the circuit board that the boiler is lit,
and the ignition spark stops. The burner keeps
burning until the boiler thermostat or the
room thermostat reaches the set temperature
reading. Should the boiler go out for any
reason, the sensor is activated and a new
attempt is made to start the boiler (in about
10 seconds). 230 volt heating will not operate
unless the icon showing 230 volt power supply
is shown on the control panel.
Using the heating cartridge
Electrical operation is selected on the control
panel, the 12-volt relays on the circuit board
trip, allowing the 230 volt supply to reach the
electrical elements. The heating cartridge is
controlled in the same way as the gas boiler.
Warm Water
When only warm water is required, for example
during the summer, no settings need to be
made; the boiler will look after this function
automatically.
The pump will only start when the temperature
in the vehicle is lower than the temperature
(see control panel.)
Important information.
• The boiler must not be started if there is no
glycol in the system.
• The LPG boiler and heating cartridge may
be operated in parallel.
• The heating system may be heated up
without the warm water heater being lled
with fresh water.
• Always switch off the main isolator for the
boiler when the vehicle is not being used.
• Always drain the warm water heater of
fresh water if there is a risk of frost.
The LPG boiler must not be operated when
refuelling the vehicle.
When washing the vehicle, take care not to get
water in the roof vent.
The Domestic Hot Water Heater
The boiler is tted with a built-in warm water
heater with a volume of approx. 8.5- litres
fresh water. The warm water heater can
produce around 12 litres of 40°C water per half
hour (at a cold water temperature of 10°C). If
the heating cartridges are used instead of gas
for heating the boiler, the capacity is slightly
reduced. Always rinse out the heater before
it is used, particularly if it has not been in
operation for some time.
The hot water is not intended for
drinking or cooking. When the heater is
in continuous use, it should be emptied
approx, once a month, to ensure that
a new air cushion is formed in the
heater. The air cushion is essential for
