OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ALDE COMPACT 3020 HIGH EFFICIENCY
Read this manual carefully before starting to use the heater. For installation instructions see separate
manual. This manual is approved for Alde Compact 3020 heaters which are installed in a vehicle accor-
ding to CE 0402 No. SC0653-13 and which have E5 labelling for installation in vehicles according to R122
and R10. Installation and repair must only be undertaken by a professional. National regulations must be
followed.
1. CHECKING THE HEATING SYSTEM BEFORE USE.
• Check the antifreeze level in the expansion vessel, the level should be approx. 1 cm above the min.
line when the system is cold. Ensure that the system is properly vented before it is put into operation.
Warning! The boiler must not be started if there is no ethylene glycol fluid in the system.
Warning! Do not mix dierent types of glycol as this could cause the glycol fluid to coagulate.
Refer to section 12 for more information on glycol fluid.
• Check that the flue is maintained free of snow and ice as induction air enters the boiler via the flu in
connection with LPG operation. Also check that other objects are not obstructing or disrupting flue
gases and supply air from the flu.
Tip! A flue extension (part no. 3000 320) is recommended for the roof flue for camping in winter.
Warning! Ensure that the flu is not located in a closed area, for example an awning, as this can entail a
risk of carbon dioxide poisoning.
• Check supply and exhaust air intake, the vehicle is usually equipped with supply and exhaust air valves
(see instructions for the vehicle) these may not be blocked as it impairs the heating system’s eective-
ness and the air quality in the vehicle, which can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Check air circulation, make sure there is nothing preventing air circulation (convection). In order to
exploit the water-borne heat design to the full, it is important that air can circulate freely under bunks
and behind backrests and wall-mounted cabinets. If the vehicle has a fitted carpet, ensure that the car-
pet does not obstruct the air supply to the convectors. It is just as important that cushions or blankets
do not obstruct and hinder the air circulation behind backrests.
2. THE FIRST TIME THE HEATING SYSTEM IS STARTED.
• Hot water heater Always flush the water heater before using for the first time or if it has not been used
for a long period. Then fill the water heater with water, refer to separate instructions for the vehicle.
The boiler can equally well be used without any freshwater in the heater.
NB! Hot water from the boiler is not intended as drinking water or for food making.
Warning! Fresh water in the heater should always be drained when there is risk of frost or there is a
risk of the boiler freezing.
The warranty does not cover frost damage. A frost guard can be installed to reduce the risk of
freezing.
NB! Note that the water in the water heater can be hot.
• Carry out a check as in section 1 (Checking the heating system before use).
• Start the boiler as described in section 3.
• Select language, this appears when the panel is started for the first time, see section 7:1 point 22.
• Check that the right accessories are ticked in the list for installed functions, see section 11.
• Set the clock, see section 7:1 point 4.
• Set the desired operating mode (gas and/or electric) and the desired interior temperature, refer to
sections 5:1, 5:3 and 5:4. The LPG boiler and immersion heaters can be operated simultaneously, but
this should be avoided in newly filled systems.
NB! The boiler uses no more power than is needed, even if it is set for both 3kW electricity and gas.
