alde compact 3010 quick start guide
Use the Left < and Right > arrow keys to move
across the symbols. Highlight the required
symbol so that it flashes. You can then adjust
the function.
Use the +/On and -/Off keys to adjust settings
and turn functions On and Off.
With ‘On’ displayed the boiler is in
standby mode and ready to be
given commands.
With ‘Off’ displayed the boiler
is shutdown.
Select your desired
room temperature.
30 min hot water booster, with this
function ‘On’ the circulation pump for
the heating is turned off.
Select ‘On’ to operate the
boiler LPG.
Select 1kW or 2kW to operate the
boiler on 230V Electric.
Indicates that the circulation pump is
operating for central heating.
Indicates that 230V is supplied to
the boiler.
PRE-START CHECKS
• Ensure the system is filled with Glycol before
starting the boiler, check the expansion tank
level. The fluid should be 10mm above the
minimum mark when cold.
• Ensure adequate LPG Propane, 230V and
12V supplies are connected and turned
on. The control panel should be active and
display the 230V connection symbol.
• Turn the boiler ‘On’ using the control
panel, then scroll across and raise the
desired room temperature to +30ºC. The
circulation pump symbol should appear.
Visually check in the expansion tank that
the pump is operating.
• Scroll across and turn on the 2kW electric
heater using the panel. Wait for 10
minutes and check that the upper flow
pipe on the boiler is getting hot. The
bottom return pipe may also be warm.
• Scroll back and turn on the gas burner
using the control panel. You might not
be able to hear it start, so visually check
the flue outside to confirm the boiler is
operating. Wait for 10 minutes and check
the lower return pipe on the boiler. It should
now be hot and the boiler fully operational.

Please read these instructions carefully
before using the boiler.
These instructions are approved for The Alde
Compact 3010 boiler fitted 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-fitted
cylinders (heat exchanger, water jacket for the
heating system and, outermost, water jacket for
hot water). The two outer pipes, and their ends
and connections, 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 fitted on
the end of the heat exchanger. It consists
of a combustion fan, burner, solenoid valve
and intake/exhaust connections. Two heating
cartridges are fitted to the water jacket of the
heating system. Maximum output is 2 or 3 kW,
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 lit. The circuit board
sends ignition sparks 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).
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 set temperature
(see item 4, Control Panel). If the vehicle
temperature is higher, the pump will not start.
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 filled
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.
