Safety Precautions:
1. Please read these installation instructions com-
pletely before beginning installation procedures.
Failure to follow them could cause a woodstove
malfunction resulting in serious injury and/or
property damage.
2. Always check your local building Codes prior to
installation. The installation must comply with all
local, regional, state and national Codes and
Regulations.
3. An adequate supply of replacement combustion
air from outside the house must be available to
the fire for the woodstove to operate properly.
Aladdin is not responsible for any smoking or
related problems that may result from the lack of
adequate combustion air. It is the responsibility
of the builder/contractor to ensure that adequate
combustion air has been provided for the woodstove.
4. NEVER leave children unattended when there is
a fire burning in the woodstove.
5. This woodstove is built for solid fuel only. DO
NOT use chimney cleaners or flame colorants in
your fireplace.
6. NEVER use gasoline, gasoline type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids
in this woodstove. Keep any flammable liquids a
safe distance from the unit.
7. To ensure a safe woodstove system and to prevent the buildup of soot and creosote, inspect and
clean the woodstove and chimney prior to use
and periodically during the burning season.
These installation instructions describe the installation
and operation of the D O V R E®Model 400 woodstove.
This stove meets the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's 1990 particulate emission standards. Under
specific test conditions this stove has been shown to
deliver heat at rates ranging from 8,700 to 22,500
BTU/HR.
The D O V R E®Model 400 is listed by Underwriters
Laboratories Inc. to UL Safety Standard 1482 and
ULC Safety Standard S627.
Check with your local Building Code Agency before
you begin your installation to ensure compliance with
local Codes, including the need for Permits and
follow-up inspections. Be sure local building Codes
do not supersede UL specifications and always obtain
a Building Permit so that insurance protection benefits
cannot be unexpectedly canceled. If any assistance
is required during installation, please contact your
local dealer or the Dovre Customer Relations
Department, 401 N. Wynne, Colville, WA99114.
D O V R E®is a registered trademark of Aladdin Hearth
Products. Aladdin Hearth Products is a Division of
Hearth Technologies Inc.
I t ’s a good idea to plan your installation on paper,
using exact measurements for clearances and floor
protection, before actually beginning the installation. If
you’re not using an existing chimney, place the stove
where there will be a clear passage for a factory-built
listed chimney through the ceiling and roof.
We also recommend that you have a qualified building
inspector and your insurance company representative
review your plans before installation.

C. PRE-INSTALLATION PREPARATION
1. MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES.
The clearances listed in Table I are the minimum distances that must be maintained, as demonstrated in Figures
1 and 2. It is important to note that simply covering a combustible material with a non-combustible material does
not offer sufficient heat protection. For example, drywall conducts the radiant heat directly to the wood, and the
effect is the same as if the wood was unprotected.
Clearances to a combustible backwall may be reduced to 8” by using Dovre Backshield, part #400HSB, and listed
double wall connector pipe.
The following table and diagrams show the minimum clearance requirements between your Dovre, chimney connectors and unprotected combustible walls and materials. If further reduced clearances are needed, obtain
requirements for construction of a protected wall from your local building code authorities and their allowable
reductions of the listed clearances.

2. FLOOR PROTECTION.
Acombustible floor must be protected from the radiant heat given off by the unit and from the inevitable
spark or falling ember. This includes almost any floor
surface. Only a solid masonry or concrete floor adequately covering the distance around the unit is
acceptable. Alayer of thin brick or ceramic tile over a
combustible floor is insufficient. To protect your floor,
it is necessary to install a floor protector of one layer
of 3/8” non-combustible millboard having a thermal
conductivity of K = 0.84 BTU IN/FTHr F, or an equally
thick UL listed floor protector. The required dimensions of floor protector vary according to the length of
chimney connector as shown. If you construct your
own floor protector with the one layer of millboard, we
suggest that it be covered by one sheet of 24-gauge,
or heavier, galvanized sheet metal. It can then be
covered with ceramic tile, or thin brick, and framed to
protect the millboard and give it a finished look.
NOTE: The minimum Floor Protector Size for the Model 400
Woodstove is 31” wide x 39” deep.
Any horizontal length of chimney connector pipe must
also have the floor protector beneath it and extending
2” on each side of the pipe. The required floor protector size for Model 400 is 31” x 39”. Refer to
Figures 3a and 3b.
WARNING!
COMPLIANCE WITH ALL MINIMUM CLEARANCES SHOWN IN
THIS MANUAL IS NECESSARY FOR YOUR SAFETY.
MODEL 400 WOODSTOVE
NOTE: In calculating equivalent thickness
of alternate materials, the following formula
should be used:
One layer of 3/8” (0.375 inch) thick mill-
board has a K factor of
(BTU) (INCH)
0.31 (HR) ( FT
2)
(F) at 75 F
NOTE: Dotted line indicates additional floor
protection required on through-the-wall
chimney installation. Floor protection must
extend behind the stove to the rear wall.

3. CHIMNEY HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS.
WARNING!
ALWAYS FOLLOW CHIMNEY CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS FOR
PROPER INSTALLATION.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR IS TO BE USED ONLY WITHIN THE ROOM, BETWEEN THE
STOVE AND CEILING WALL, NEVER PASSING THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE CEILING
OR WALL. ALWAYS KEEP MINIMUM CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES AS SHOWN
IN TABLE 1.
WARNING!
IF INSTALLING THIS MODELTO AMASONRY CHIMNEY, ALWAYS BE SURE THE
CHIMNEY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND THAT IT MEETS THE MINIMUM STANDARDS
OF THE NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION (NFPA) STANDARD 211.
THIS APPLIANCE IS MADE WITH A6 INCH/152 MM. DIAMETER CHIMNEY CONNECTOR (IF YOU ARE USING A FACTORY-BUILT CHIMNEY SYSTEM, AS RECOMMENDED) AS THE FLUE COLLAR ON THE UNIT.
CHANGING THE DIAMETER OF THE CHIMNEY CAN AFFECT DRAFT AND CAUSE
POOR PERFORMANCE. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE OFFSETS OR ELBOWS
AT ALTITUDES ABOVE 4000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL OR WHEN THERE ARE
OTHER FACTORS THAT AFFECT FLUE DRAFT.
Amasonry chimney or a factory-built chimney must
Figure 7
Chimney Connector
be the required height above the roof and any other
nearby obstructions. The chimney must be at least 3
feet higher than the highest point where it passes
through the roof and at least 2 feet higher than the
highest part of the roof or structure that is within 10
feet of the chimney, measured horizontally. See
Figure 6.
These are safety requirements and are not meant to
assure proper flue draft.
We recommend using a minimum total system height
of 12 feet/3657 mm when using single wall connector, not including the chimney cap, measured from
the stove flue collar to the top of the chimney. For a
listed connector pipe, use a minimum total system
height of 9 feet/2743 mm.
MODEL 400 WOODSTOVE
4. FLUE SYSTEMS.
There are two separate and different parts to a flue
system: the chimney connector and the chimney
itself.
Chimney Connector.
The chimney connector connects the stove to the
chimney. The connector must be the same size as
the flue outlet of the stove. There are two types of
chimney connectors.
A. Single wall connector or stovepipe. This must be
at least 24 gauge mild steel or 26 gauge blue
steel. The sections must be attached to the stove
and to each other with the crimped (male) end
pointing toward the stove. See Figure 7. All
joints, including the connection at the stove collar,
should be secured with three sheet metal screws.
Make sure to follow the minimum clearances in
Table 1, page 5.
B. Factory-built listed chimney connector (vented).
The listed connectors must be the same brand at
the listed chimney.

NOTE: The chimney connector must be
attached to either an approved masonry
chimney or any safety listed factory-built
chimney.

5. MASONRY CHIMNEY.
Be sure a masonry chimney meets the minimum standards of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
Standard 211. It must have at least a 5/8 inch/16 mm fire clay liner or a listed chimney liner system. Make sure there
are no cracks, loose mortar or other signs of deterioration and blockage. It is best to have the chimney inspected by
a professional and be sure to have the chimney cleaned before the stove is installed and operated.
The flue should be checked to determine that it is not too large for the stove. NFPA211 allows the cross-sectional
area of the flue to be no more than 3 times the cross-sectional area of the flue collar of the stove (28 x 3 = 84). It is
recommended that a chimney with a larger diameter be relined, since the oversized flue can cause poor performance
and contribute to the accumulation of creosote. (See page 16 for more information about draft.)
When connecting the stove through a combustible wall to a masonry chimney, special methods are needed. There
are several ways to make this connection, including the construction of a masonry thimble. Check with your local
building authorities or consult the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA211). Refer to Figure 8.
NOTE: Never install more than one appliance to any Chimney.
