1. Introduction
Your DOVRE purchase has made you the owner of a high quality product that symbolizes a new generation of energy -saving and ecologically safe h eaters, producing
convection heat as well as radiant heat with optimum efficiency. Through the application of a revolutionary combustion concept DOVRE heaters achieve astonishing
results in full compliance with strict environmental and safety norms. Also, you will
be enjoying the lovely sight of the fire blazing in the stove.
Our heaters are produced in accordance with ISO 9002, using state-of-the-art production means.
In the unlikely event of a malfunction, you can always rely on DOVRE’s after-sales
service.
This heater is designed to be installed in a living room and to be her metically connected to a flue (chimney).
If the stove is professionally installed, connected to a well-functioning chimney and
sufficiently ventilated, you can take the long-term and trouble-fre e functioning of
your heater for granted.
Please consult an expert when installing and connecting the heater.
2. Safety
The heater is designed to heat a room, which means that all surfaces, inclu ding the
front glass, can get very hot (> 100 °C).
Please do not place any curtains, clothes, laundry, furniture or other combustible
materials on or near the heater.
It is advised to make a fire in the stove with the highest possible intensity right after
it is installed, so as to cure t he heat-resistant paint finish. This may involve so me
odour production, which will however disappear after a while.
It is necessary to maintain and regularly clean the stove and the chimney for the
stove to function safely and for a long period of time. Please follow the cleaning
instructions in the chapter concerned.
In case of a chimney fire, immediat ely clos e all air intake ve nts of the appli ance and
alert the fireman.
Broken glass should be replaced before using the heater again.
The stove is specifically designed for burning certain kinds of fuels. In the technical
specifications under cover you can find detailed information concerning this topic. It
is absolutely prohibited to burn fuels other than these, as this may damage your
heater. Moreover, it is ecologically harmful.
Astroline 2 3 03.27605.000
3. Installation guideline
3.1. Preparatory measures
The stove should be hermetically connected to a well-funct ioning chimney, sufficiently enclosed to keep combustib le materials (floor and walls) at a distance, and
should be installed in a room with sufficient ventilation.
Please inform about national or local norms and regulations concerning this subject.
Your distributor will give you the necessary advice.
You can also consult the fire department and/or an insurance company about specific demands or regulations.
Please read the technical specif ications under cover in this manual before installing
the stove.
3.1.1. The chimney
The chimney (the flue) has a double function:
• It draws air, that is necessary for good combustion, into the stove.
• It functions as an exhaust pipe for combustion gases via thermal or natural
draught. Thermal draught is caused by the difference in heat between the air inand outside the flue. The heated air in the flue is lighter than the colder air outside the flue and consequently rises up, along with the combustion gases. Natural draught is caused by environmental phenomena, such as wind.
It is prohibited to connect several he aters to one chimney (for instance the centra l
heating boiler), unless local or national regulations allow this.
Please check which chimney is to be used for the stove you purchased and whether
your chimney is appropriat e for this spec ific usage. You sh ould consid er an expert's
opinion on this matter.
The chimney should meet the following conditions:
• The flue should be made of fireproof material. Ceramic or stainless steel is re-
commended.
• The chimney should be airtight and thoroughly cleaned and should guarantee a
sufficient draught (a draught or negative pressure of 15 to 20 Pa is ideal under
normal circumstances).
• It should run as vertically as possible. Changes in direction or horizontal seg-
ments will disrupt the smoke flow and may cause soot to cumulate inside the
flue (and clog the flue!).
• The chimney's inside dimensions must not be too large in order to prevent the
fumes from cooling off too much. For recommended chimney dimensions, see
the technical specification und er cove r. Larger dimensions can be used if the flue
is well insulated.
• The flue's diameter should be the same throughout its whole length. Wider, or
especially narrower segments will disrupt the smoke flow and are best avoided.
The same is true for a cover plate or exhau st hood on top of the chimney. The
Astroline 2 4 03.27605.000
exhaust hood must not narrow the chimney's outlet and should be designed in a
way that wind will not hinder, but promote the smoke flow.
• Especially if the flue runs through unheated rooms or outside the house, further
insulation is necessary. Metal chimne ys, or parts of the chimney outsid e heated
rooms should always have double-walled, in sulated flues. Th e part of the chimney outside the roof should always be insulated.
• The chimney should be high enough (at least four metres) and sho uld end in a
zone that is clear of nearby buildings, trees or other obstacles. The rule of
thumb here is: 60 cm above the ridge of the roof. If the distance between the
ridge and the chimney measures more than three metres, see the dimensions
stipulated in the illustrat ion below. Dep ending on the presence of ne arby buildings or trees, the chimney should be higher.
3 m
3 m
min 0.5 m
min 0.5 m
highest point of the roof
within a distance of 3 m.
3.1.2. Ventilation
The burning of wood, charcoal or gas involves oxygen co nsumption. It is o f the utmost importance that the room in wh ich the stove is install ed should be sufficiently
ventilated.
Insufficient ventilation may disrupt the combustion process and cause the smoke
flow through the chimney to be interrupted, which may lead to smoke emissions
into the room.
If necessary, you can install a ventilation grille to provide a constant flow of fresh air
in the room. This precautio n is particularly necessary in well-in sulated rooms with
mechanical ventilation.
Ensure not to use other air-consuming appliances, such as heaters, cooking hoods,
bathroom ventilators, in the same room or in the house while the stove is burning;
or make sure to have an extra ventilation grill installed for these appliances.
min 1 m
3.1.3. Floor, walls
A safe distance should be kept between the stove and combustible materials such as
wooden walls and furnitu re. This distance should be at least forty cen timetres for
the side-wall and 30 cm for the back-wall.
The appliance shall be installed on floors with an adequate load-bearing capacity.
Combustible floors require sufficient protection against radiant heat by means of a
fireproof protective plate. Ru gs and carpets must be kept at a distance o f at least
eighty centimetres from the fire.
Astroline 2 5 03.27605.000
3.2. Preparing the stove
Please inspect the stove for damage caused during tr ansport immediately after delivery and notify your distributor in case there are any defects. Do not put the stove
into operation in the meantime.
In order to avoid damaging the stove during installation and to make handling of the
stove easier, it is recommended to remove previously all loose parts (top pl ate, fireresistant bricks, grille, ashtray, ...) from the stove. Note the location of those parts
while removing them, so that you have no difficulties in re-assembling the parts
later on.
The stove will be supplied with the following parts:
• A connection collar
• A blanking plate to seal off the connection opening
• A small shovel to remove ashes = a "cold hand" to remove the ashtray
3.2.1. Assembling the inner part of the legs
Assembly the inner part of the legs using the bolts: see figure.
3.2.1. Smoke outlet
Your stove is suitable for two connections: a
top or a rear connection.
Upon supply, the top and rear exhausts have
been left open. Depending on the position chosen, one opening can be covered with the
blanking plate supplied; the other one can be
equipped with the connection collar supplied
(see picture). Use the fixings supplied and be
sure to tightly seal the connection collar and
the blanking plate to the stove by means of the
kit or paste supplied.
In order to make the connection easier, the top
plate may simply be removed from the stove
and replaced afterwards.
Astroline 2 6 03.27605.000
3.2.3. Installing the side panels
You can fix several kinds of side panels to your stove: lacquered steel plates or
steatite. The side panels are packed separately.
This is how to fix the side panels to the stove (see illustration as well):

3.3. Finishing
When the stove is placed in the final position and hermetically connected to the
chimney, you can replace all of the loose parts.
Your stove is now ready for use.
Attention: never light a fire with the inner plates or refractory stones removed.
3.4. Packaging materials
Packaging materials should be disposed of in a responsible way and in accordanc e
with governmental regulations.
Astroline 2 7 03.27605.000
4. Instructions for use
4.1. Fuel
The only suitable fuels for this stove is wood. No oth er fu els are al lo wed to b e bu rn t,
as they can inflict serious damage to your stove.
Do not burn any treated wood either, such as scrap wood, dyed wood, impregnated
or preserved wood, plywood or chipboard. The fumes of these, as of synthetic materials, old papers and household waste, are highly polluting for both your stove and
your chimney, and for the environment. They also could cause chimney fires.
Wood
Hard woods, such as oak, birch- and fruit-trees, are the ideal fuels for your stove.
The wood must have dried for at least two years in a covered and well-ventilated
place. Split logs will dry faster. Dry wood should contain no more than twenty percent moisture.
Wet logs are unsuitable for burning, as th ey do not produce enough h eat and all of
the energy is lost in the process of evaporation. Moreover, the burning of wet wood
causes badly smelling gases t o be released and a thick layer of tar w ill deposit on
the stove panels and in the chimney.
4.2. Lighting a fire
In order to create sufficient
draught and to prevent
smoke from being emitted
into the room, the chimney
should be warm enough
before lighting a fire. A cold
chimney can be heated up
by lighting a ball of paper
above the fire plate.
To kindle the fire in the
stove you can use paper
and/or firelighters and
small pieces of wood.
Slightly open the door and
pull the air slides wide
open. See sketch on how to
use the air slides.
It is important that the kindled fire should burn intensely. You can then throw
larger pieces of wood onto
the fire, and close the door. When the fire has eventually stab ilized and is glowing
enough, you can put the logs or the brown coal briquettes on the fire.

4.3. Burning wood
The best way to control the f ire is to comp letely close th e lower air s lide, which you
use to get the fire started, and to regulate the air supply with the upper air slide
only. In case the air supply through the upper slide seems insufficient, or if you
would like to fan the fire, you can partially open the lower air slide for a while.
Always keep the stove door tightly closed. Never let the door open when the fire is
burning.
Add extra fuel when necessary.
Never add too much fuel. It is
best to fill the stove for one third
and to top it up on a regular basis.
Always open the filling door
slowly and for a short space of
time. Before filling up, the charcoal bed should be carefully
spread open. Check whether the
coals are glowing enough just
behind the log retainer, so that
the added fuel will immediately
catch fire. If necessary you can
open the lower air slide for a
while.
Open stacking will make the logs burn very intensely, as the oxygen can easily reach
every part of the fire. This method of stacki ng is applied when burning w ood for a
short while. Compact stacking will make the fire burn slower, as the air can only
reach the outer parts of the fire. This stacking method is best used when burning for
a longer while.
Low intensity fires cause tar and creosote to deposit in the chimney after a long
period of time. Tar and creosote are highly combustible substances. Thicker layers
of these substances might catch fire when the temperature in the chimney increases
suddenly and steeply. Therefore it is necessary for the fire to regularly burn very
intensely, so that thin layers of tar and creosote immediately disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar to deposit on the stove panels and doors.
When it is not too cold outside it is better to let the stove burn intensely for just a
few hours a day.
open stacking compact stacking
4.4. Ash removal
The bottom of the fire compartment is equipped with a port to
eliminate the ashes. Open the
port (see picture) and sweep the
redundant ashes into the ashtray
by means of the scraper. With the
"cold handle", you can pull the
ashtray from the stove (see picture).
Astroline 2 9 03.27605.000
Relatively speaking, burning wood produces little ash and it
will not be necessary to remove it each time daily. The ash
in the cavities between the ribs of the fire plate does not
need to be removed, since wood burns better on a bed of
ash.
4.5. Extinguishing the fire
Stop fuelling the fire and let it burn out.
Damping a fire by closing the a ir slides involves the release of noxiou s gases. You
should let the fire burn out and keep an eye on it as long as it is still glowing.
4.6. Weather conditions
Attention!
Mist and heavy fog will block the chimney's fume outlet and may lead to smoke
emission into the living room.
It is best not to use the stove under these weather conditions.
5. Maintenance
It takes only little effort to keep your stove in good condition.
Regularly check whether the sealing cord still closes the doors tightly enough.
The painted or enamelled cast iron mantle can be cleaned with a moist, soft cloth,
when it is almost cold.
Minor paint damage can be touched up with a can of spray paint. Your dealer can
supply you with the cor rect spray product. F or enamel damage, small rep air kits of
appropriate colour are available from your dealer. Make sure no aggressive, acid
products get in touch with enamelled parts.
During the first use after repainting your unit might give off some slight odour.
However, this will disappear quickly.
The glass can be cleaned with a number of glass cleaning products available from
your dealer. Your installer can also supply you with appropriate products. However,
never use abrasive or corrosive cleaning products.
At the end of the heating season, seal off the chimney with a ball of paper. You can
then thoroughly clean the stove on the inside.
If necessary, replace the sealing ropes and use fire cement to fill up possible leaks.
Remove the fire plate for better and more thorough cleaning. Eventually remove the
refractory stones first.
You should have your chimney swept by an expert before the heating season begins.
It is also useful to check the chimney for soot during the heating season and to
check for blockage of the chimney flue prior to re-lighting after a p rolonged shut
down period. Checking and maintaining the chimney is a statutory requirement.
When all of the above advice is heeded, you will be able to fully enjoy your stove.
