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.

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.

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.

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.
