Installation Instructions

2. Upgrading the Appliance

2.1  The appliance is fitted with a control valve that can easily be 

upgraded to battery powered remote control. 

There are two versions of this control which can be obtained 

through your local Dovre stockist.

There is no requirement for this upgrade to be carried out by 

an approved Gas engineer. However Dovre recommend that 

this task is undertaken by a suitably competent person. 

2.2  This upgrade can be fitted before or after installation but if 

side clearances are limited then it will be easier to upgrade 

the appliance before installation. Full instructions are 

included with the kit.

1. Safety Precautions

1.1  For your own and other’s safety, you must install this 

appliance according to local and national codes of practice. 

Failure to install the appliance correctly could lead to 

prosecution. Read these instructions before installing 

and using this appliance.

1.2  These instructions must be left intact with the user.

1.3  Do not attempt to burn rubbish on this appliance.

1.4  Keep all plastic bags away from young children.

1.5  Do not place any object on or near to the appliance and 

allow adequate clearance above the appliance.

IF THE APPLIANCE IS EXTINGUISHED OR GOES OUT 

IN USE, WAIT 3 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO 

RELIGHT THE APPLIANCE.

1.6  The appliance is fitted with the Dovre Flue Sure System, 

which will act to cut off the gas supply to the burners in the 

event of incorrect operation of the flue. If the system acts to 

cut off the gas supply, this indicates that there is insufficient 

flue pull. If this occurs a minimum of 10 minutes should be 

allowed before trying to relight. Continued operation of this 

safety device means there may be a serious problem with 

the flue system. A qualified gas engineer should inspect this. 

1.7  Do not alter or tamper with the Flue Sure System. Use only 

genuine Dovre replacement parts when servicing the system 

- refer to the Servicing Section, Replacing Parts.

DO NOT USE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL AN ENGINEER 

SAYS IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.
