absorbing pressure surges in the heater. For
emptying specially-adapted boilers, as well as
any other fresh water systems in the vehicle,
please refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The warm water should always be drained of
fresh water when there is a risk of frost and
when the caravan is not in use. The warranty
does not cover frost damage.
Draining the heater using the combined safety/
drain valve:
• Switch off the freshwater pump.
• Open all water taps
• Then open the safety/drain valve by raising
the yellow lever (M) to a vertical position.
• The heater will now drain directly below
the vehicle through the safety/ drain valve
hose. Check that all the water is emptied
out (about 7-10 litres.) Leave the valve in
the open position until the next time the
heater is used.
•
Check that the automatic check valve
(N) is open and is allowing air to enter
the heater when it is being drained, and
that the hose (O) is not blocked.
The Heating Cartridges
All Compact 3010s are tted with two 230V
heating cartridges with a maximum output of
3150 W. Select the heating cartridge output on
the control panel. Always check that the input
fuse of the vehicle has the correct amperage
in relation to the selected output. Note these
ratings are for the boiler only. 1050 W requires
a 6 amp fuse. 2100 W requires a 10 amp fuse.
3150 W requires a 16 amp fuse.
The Circulation Pump
A circulation pump is required to circulate the
heated glycol uid. A 12V circulation pump is
tted in the boiler. Selection of the circulation
pump, i.e. switches it on or off according to
the amount of heat required. For normal
operation pump speed 1 or 2 should be used.
Higher pump speeds will cause premature
failure. Speed setting 4 or 5 should only be
used for short periods (2-5 minutes) to bleed
the system after lling.
System Temperature
The boiler is set to a system temperature of
80°C, i.e. the temperature of the glycol uid as
it circulates in the heating system.
Air Circulation
In order to achieve the best possible result
from the principle of connected heat, it is
important to allow air to circulate freely under
bunks, and behind backrests and wall-mounted
cabinets. It is important that cushions or
blankets do not interrupt the ow of air behind
backrests and wall cabinets.
Maintaining the Heating System
Winter Camping
Your vehicle is tted with the Truma crash
sensor regulator and hose that allows you
to use your heating on gas whilst in transit.
Without this type of hose you should never use
the heating whilst in motion.
While camping during the winter, ensure that
the ue is kept clear of snow and ice, since the
inlet air to the LPG boiler enters through the
ue. Do not start the LPG boiler until the ue
is completely free of snow.
