• When washing the vehicle, take care not to
get water in the venting.
The Domestic hot water heater
The boiler is fitted 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. NB! 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 absorbing
pressure surges in the heater. For emptying
specially-adapted boilers, as well as any other
freshwater systems in the vehicle, please refer
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
NB! The warm water heater 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:
1. Switch off the freshwater pump
2. Open all water taps.
3. Then open the safety/drain valve by raising
the yellow lever (M) to a vertical position.
4. 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.
NB! 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 fitted with two 230V
heating cartridges with a maximum output
of either 2100 or 3150W. 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.
1050W requires a 6 amp fuse.
2100W requires a 10 amp fuse.
3150W requires a 16 amp fuse
THE CIRCULATION PUMP
A circulation pump is required to circulate the
heated glycol fluid. A 12V circulation pump is
fitted in the expansion tank.
An optional 230V circulation pump can be fitted
on the boiler. Selection of circulation pump is
made with a switch on the control panel. The
room thermostat on the control panel controls
the circulation pump, i.e. switches it on or off
according to the amount of heat required.
SYSTEM TEMPERATURE
The boiler is set to a system temperature of
80°C, i.e. the temperature of the glycol fluid as
it circulates in the heating system.
