HOW TO USE YOUR CARAVAN’S EQUIPMENT
ALDE HEATING (Twin axle models only)
Alde Compact 3010 Control Panel
Pre-operational Check List
• Check the level of antifreeze in the header
tank. When cold the fluid should be 10mm
above the minimum mark. If you need to top
up your system via the header tank use a 60/
40 mix of water and ethylene glycol, this can
be purchased at car accessory outlets
nationwide.
• Ensure glycol mixture is at recommended
strength. It not only prevents freezing but also
stops corrosion and bacteria within the system.
Blue antifreeze has a two year life.
• Propane gas is recommended as it works at
lower ambient temperatures. Butane loses
functionality below 10 degrees centigrade. Total
failure occurs at -2 degrees centigrade when
using Butane, this applies to all LPG appliances.
• The heating system can be operated with the
domestic water drained down.
• If the vehicle is not in use and there is a risk of
freezing the domestic water should be drained
down. Frost damage is not covered under
warranty.
• If leaving the caravan for very long periods of
time without 230V supply disconnect 12V
supply. The boiler draws a small 0.01 amp in
standby mode. The circulation pump draws
0.18 amp when operating.
Fault Finding
Check LPG - Sufficient supply? Is the main tap
fully open?
If the boiler has not been used for a long period
or gas supply has been changed it may take more
than one attempt to start.
Check that the boiler has 12V supply or if using
electric elements that you have 230V supply.
The boiler is sensitive to current and needs a full
12V supply - check battery level.
Check all electrical connections are pushed firmly
home and wires attached.
Tip: Use gas 6kW and electric 3kW combined
for extra heat and hot water performance.
