CONTROLS

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM

CAUSE OF PROBLEM

SMOKE ENTERING ROOM FROM

If burning wood, make sure it is well seasoned with moisture content well below 20%. This

APPLIANCE

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.

TAR FORMATION

Use of unseasoned wood.

Poor chimney draught.

Operating appliance while the fire is at very low temperature.

FUMES ENTERING ROOM

Seals on flue joints in convection chamber are not "smoke tight".

THROUGH AIR GRILLS

Walls of convection chamber are not clean.

CAST IRON GRATES DISTORTING

Ash compartment over full causing the grates to be sandwiched in hot ash.

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

Remove the rope seals from the doors.

Clean out rope channels using a wire brush.

Fit new Dovre rope seal using the special adhesive

supplied in the Dovre Service Kits (these can be

obtained from your Dovre stockist).

Lightly grease all hinges on doors with graphite

grease.
