INSTALLATIONAPPLIANCE DOORS - IMPORTANT
FREE-STANDING INSTALLATIONS WITH CANOPIES
This type of application is often for large inglenook
fireplaces with wide chimneys. It is strongly
recommended that a liner be fitted if the chimney is
unlined.
There are two methods of installing the appliance on the
hearth.
Appliance mounted on a Dovre Base Support (part
ref MBP or SBP)
Appliance standing directly on the hearth
FOR FREE STANDING INSTALLATIONS IT WILL NOT BE
NECESSARY TO FIT THE SET OF FOUR LEGS SUPPLIED.
STEP 1
Position the appliance in the inglenook allowing a
minimum space of 100mm between the back of the
appliance and the back wall of the inglenook (see
illustration opposite).
STEP 2
Connect the appliance to the chimney using 316 grade
1mm thick stainless steel flue pipe. The pipe diameter
should be 200mm min (150mm for 1800W mini series). If
the flue damper has been fitted (2700W Standard and
2000MFR Super models only), it will be necessary to
install a cleaning access door in the flue pipe or chimney.
Your Dovre dealer will be pleased to advise on the best
method to use.
ON NO ACCOUNT SHOULD THE WEIGHT OF THE
FLUE LINERS BE CARRIED ON THE APPLIANCE. ALL
FLUES AND FLUE LINERS MUST BE SUPPORTED
INDEPENDENTLY OF THE APPLIANCE. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION WILL LEAD TO
DISTORTION AND FRACTURING OF THE APPLIANCE
CASTINGS.
STEP 3
Fit the canopy ensuring that a minimum distance of
15mm is allowed between the canopy and the back wall
of the inglenook. This will allow the circulation of warm
air into the room.

NOTE: Fixing brackets are supplied with the canopy but due to the variations in sizes of openings, it may
be necessary to support the canopy with your own adapted bracket arrangements.

BUILT-IN INSTALLATIONS
The appliance is deigned to be built into a new or
existing chimneybreast installation to provide efficient
space heating with both radiant and convected heat.
There must be sufficient space in the fireplace recess to
allow air to circulate around to back, top sides and base
of the appliance.
The example fig 1 shows how your Dovre should be
installed in a chimneybreast recess for chimneybreasts
situated internally and externally.
The recess should be formed using an appropriately
designed raft lintel to support the existing structural
brickwork and chimney. The minimum clearances between
the appliance and walls are illustrated in figs 2 & 3.
PROCEDURE
Prepare the opening ensuring that adequate support
is provided for the chimney and existing
chimneybreast structure. A raft lintel, to form the top
of the convection chamber, should be constructed.
The lintel should be pre-formed with a clearance
hole of 200mm (for the 1800W series, the clearance
need only be 150mm or 180mm depending on the
diameter of the flue pipe) to allow the connecting
flue pipe to be installed. If the recess is too wide,
reduce the width using 75mm thick building blocks.
Line the top, sides and back of the recess (convection
chamber) using Dovre insulated panels. Fix the
panels to the brickwork (aluminium face outwards)
using masonry nails or other suitable fixings.
If the fireplace is located on an outside wall, install a
standard airbrick or Dovre air control damper (part
number ASI) at floor level. For fireplaces located on
inner walls, it will be necessary to bring an air
supply from under the floor.
AN AIR SUPPLY IS PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT IN
WELL-INSULATED ROOMS.
Stand the appliance in the recess and adjust the
levelling bolts on the bottom of the legs to ensure the
appliance is level and plumb.
Use a length of 316 grade 1mm thick stainless steel
flue pipe or other pipe which complies with Current
Building Regulations for the installation of solid fuel
burning appliances, connected from the flue spigot on
the appliance to the main chimney. See fig 2 page 4.
ENSURE THAT THE APPLIANCE DOES NOT DIRECTLY
SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF THE MAIN CHIMNEY OR
CHIMNEY LINERS. THE FLUE LINERS MUST BE
SUPPORTED BY INDEPENDENT BRACKETS.
Construct the hearth making sure that the design and
structure complies with current Building
Regulations.
The finished hearth surface (e.g. hearth tiles) should
be approximately 6mm below the bottom of the
doors. See fig. 2 page 4.
Construct the facing wall of the fireplace, using a
lintel to support brickwork / masonry above the
appliance.
NEVER BUILD DIRECTLY ONTO THE APPLIANCE.
50mm thick lightweight building blocks backed
with Dovre insulation panels are ideal for
constructing the facing wall of the convection
chamber. See fig 2 & 3 page 4.
Install air grills, total minimum area 600sq.cm at the
highest point of the convection chamber. Install air
grills minimum area 400sq.cm as close to the floor
level as possible. There is no restriction on the
number of grills used.
Where the fireplace backs onto another room, or is
situated in the corner of the room, backing onto two
rooms, grills can be fitted in the adjacent rooms. In
this case, it will also be necessary to fit a return air
grill in the other room or rooms.
NEVER USE GRILLS MADE FROM PLASTIC OR
OTHER COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
The model 2000MFR is available with an optional glass
lined boiler suitable for direct or indirect cylinders. The
system must incorporate gravity circuit open to
expansion. Pipework must be a minimum diameter of
28mm and must be installed to rise from the appliance.
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A QUALIFIED HEATING
ENGINEER IS USED TO INSTALL HOT WATER MODELS.
The chimney is the key to the successful installation of your
Dovre appliance. If the chimney is in poor condition or of
the wrong design or construction, the performance of the
appliance will be adversely effected and problems will be
experienced with combustion and possible smoke emission
to the room.
PLEASE SEEK THE ADVICE OF A CHIMNEY SPECIALIST IF IN
DOUBT.
The chimney should be one of the following types:
■ Brick built with suitable liner for use with
woodburning and solid fuel appliances.
■ Twin wall stainless steel approved for use with
woodburning and solid fuel appliances.
■ Prefabricated “concrete” type systems approved for
use with woodburning and solid fuel appliances.
DO NOT USE FLEXIBLE LINERS DESIGNED FOR USE
ONLY WITH GAS STOVES
CHIMNEY DIAMETER
MINIMUM 200MM (150MM FOR 1800)
INSIDE DIAMETER.
NEVER ALLOW THE APPLIANCE TO CARRY THE
WEIGHT OF THE CHIMNEY.
1800W SERIES / 2700W SERIES
Dry wood (minimum 2 years seasoned), Lignite briquettes
(brown coal), dry peat, Homefire.
2000MFR SERIES
Dry wood (minimum 2 years seasoned), Lignite briquettes
(brown coal), dry peat and most manufactured smokeless
fuels.
• Place tightly rolled newspaper or firelighters on the grate
of the appliance.
• Place a reasonable quantity of small pieces of dry kindling
wood on top of the newspapers and 3 or 4 pieces of wood
approx. 2.5 to 5cm in diameter on top of the kindling wood.
• Slide the lower and upper air controls to the fully open
position. (1800W is not equipped with upper air controls).
• Open the doors fully and light the front newspaper or
Firelighters with a long taper.
• Immediately after the kindling wood begins to burn,
partly close the doors leaving a distance of 2 - 3cm from the
fully closed position.
• Allow the fire to burn fiercely in order to warm the
chimney as quickly as possible. As soon as the fire is
burning well, add more wood or solid fuel.
• If burning solid fuels, the solid fuel may be placed directly
on the firelighters.
• Ideally your wood should be no more than 10cm diameter.

FUELS
LIGHTING AND OPERATION
76
The lower air controls (located at the bottom of the doors)
and the upper air controls (located at the top of the doors)
should be fully open until the fire is established. Closing
the air controls while the fire is cold will cause fast
sooting up of the door glass and chimney.
When the fire is well established, operate as follows:
MODEL 1800W
Operate the heat output by adjustment to the air controls
located at the bottom of the doors.
MODEL 2700W
For woodburning, leave both the top and the bottom air
controls fully open. When a hot fire is established, close
the bottom air controls. The burning rate can then be
controlled by adjustment to the top air controls. When
burning solid fuels on the 2700W, the above is reversed
and the burning rate is controlled by adjustment to the
lower air controls.
MODEL 2000MFR
For woodburning, leave both the top and the bottom air
controls fully open. When a hot fire is established, close
the bottom air controls. The burning rate can then be
controlled by adjustment to the top air controls. When the
appliance is used with the doors in the open position (as
an open fireplace) the burning rate can be controlled by
adjusting the front air slide control in front of the ash
compartment.
For overnight burning, fully close the lower air control
and partly close or fully close the top air controls (if
fitted).
IMPORTANT
NEVER ALLOW THE GRATE TO BECOME
“SANDWICHED” IN ASH. THE UNDERSIDE OF THE
GRATE MUST NEVER BE IN CONTACT WITH ASH.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS ADVICE WILL LEAD TO
PREMATURE WEAR OF THE GRATE.
CONTROLS CARE OF YOUR DOVRE APPLIANCE
The Dovre 2000 is constructed from high quality cast iron
and finished with a special high temperature resistant
paint. To ensure a good appearance is maintained, the
cast iron surfaces should be brushed using a soft clean
brush. Never attempt to clean the stove whilst it is under
fire. One a year, the doors can be treated with a new coat
of paint using Dovre high temperature resistant paint
available from your stockist.
GLASS
Clean the glass daily whilst the glass is warm (not hot).
Use a damp soft cloth with a little mild detergent. Never
use harsh abrasives. If the glass is coated with heavy tar
deposits, use Dovre Ceraclean glass cleaner. Never allow
excessive tar deposits to build up.
DOVRE 2000 GAS MODELS
If fitting a DOVRE gas burner to your Dovre 2700W,
please refer to the separate installation instructions
issued with the burner.
It is important that you also ensure that following steps
are taken if a gas burner is fitted.
Remove any flue damper that may be fitted to the
appliance.
Ensure that the appliance doors are locked in the “open
position”
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
Remove the rope seals from the doors.

■ If burning wood, make sure it is well seasoned with moisture content well below 20%. This
usually requires the wood to be seasoned for 2-3 years. Trying to burn “green wood” is like
trying to burn water!
■ Ensure you are not closing the air controls before the fire is established (see section on
operation).
■ Check for blockage in chimney (consult your chimney sweep if necessary).
■ If problems persist, arrange for your dealer or professional chimney specialist to report on the
suitability of your chimney.
■ Use of unseasoned wood.
■ Poor chimney draught.
■ Operating appliance while the fire is at very low temperature.
■ Seals on flue joints in convection chamber are not “smoke tight”.
■ Walls of convection chamber are not clean.
■ Ash compartment over full causing the grates to be sandwiched in hot ash.
