PLANNING INSTALLATION

PLANNING YOUR STOVE INSTALLATION WILL HELP MAKE THE JOB GO SMOOTHLY AND SAFELY. WHILE

YOUR DOVRE APPLIANCE IS LISTED BY UL AND ULC, IT IS STILL IMPORTANT TO CHECK LOCAL AND
STATE BUILDING CODES BEFORE BEGINNING THE INSTALLATION. YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN A
BUILDING PERMIT IN SOME AREAS. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED BY CONTACTING YOUR BUILDING

INSPECTOR.

IN ADDITION, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOTIFY YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVE AS
SOME HOMEOWNER'S INSURANCE COMPANIES REQUIRE AN INSPECTION OF YOUR INSTALLATION. THIS
CAN GIVE YOU THE ADDED SAFETY OF AN OUTSIDE OPINION OF THE INSTALLATION.

FINDING THE RIGHT LOCATION FOR YOUR STOVE IS A BIG PART OF THE PLANNING PROCESS. YOUR
STOVE IS A RADIANT ROOM HEATER AND DEPENDS ON GOOD AIR CIRCULATION TO MOVE THE HEAT
GENERATED. THEREFORE, A CENTRAL LOCATION IS BEST IF YOU ARE DEPENDING ON YOUR STOVE AS
THE PRIMARY HEAT SOURCE. IF YOUR STOVE IS TO BE A ZONE OR SECONDARY HEAT SOURCE, CONSIDER
PLACING IT IN A HARD- TO -HEAT AREA OR IN THE MAIN LIVING AREA. OF COURSE, IF YOU ARE GOING
TO USE AN EXISTING CHIMNEY, YOU MAY HAVE TO COMPROMISE SOMEWHAT ON THE LOCATION. IF THIS
IS GOING TO CAUSE TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM, YOU MAY ELECT TO CONSTRUCT A NEW FACTORY-BUlL T
CHIMNEY INSTEAD. SEE THE SECTIONS ON WALL AND FLOOR PROTECTION ON PAGE 7 AND PAGE 8.

THE DOVRE HORIZON IS NOT APPROVED FOR INSTALLATION IN MOBILE HOMES.

ASSEMBLY

SINCE A CAST IRON HEATER IS HEAVY, IT IS EASIER TO ASSEMBLE AND INSTALL WITH TWO PEOPLE.

BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY, PLACE THE UNIT NEAR THE FINAL POSITION, THEN FOLLOW THE
PROCEDURE BELOW:

I. OPEN THE STOVE AND REMOVE ALL PARTS AND ARTICLES PACKED INSIDE. OPEN THE BOX

FOUND IN THE UNIT, CHECK THE PARTS LIST AND INSPECT ALL PARTS AND THE CAST IRON
BODY FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE. CONTACT YOUR DEALER IF ANY IRREGULARITIES ARE
NOTICED. YOU SHOULD ALSO REMOVE THE GLASS DOOR, THE SIDE LOADING DOOR, GRATES,
LOO RETAINER, SIDE&.BACK BURN PLATES AND ASH PAN TO MAKE THE UNIT LIGHTER AND
EASIER TO MANUVER.

-2-

2. NOW GENTLY LAY THE UNIT ON ITS BACK AND ATTACH THE LEGS AND ASH LIP (SEE FIG.!).

3. INSTAll flOOR PROTECTION IF THE HEATER IS BEING PLACED ON A COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR.
REFER TO THE SECTION ON FLOOR PROTECTORS FOR REQUIRED MATERIALS AND SIZES.

4. LIFT -

DO NOT liLT ON THE CAST IRON LEGS-

THE UNIT TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION

AND PLACE IT ON THE FLOOR PROTECTOR.

5. REPLACE THE 3 BURN PLATES, LOO RETAINERS, GRATES, AND ASH PAN INSIDE THE STOVE
(SEE FIG. 2).

6. RETURN THE GLASS DOOR AND THE SIDE LOADING DOOR TO THEIR HINGES. ATTACH THE
4 SPRING HANDLES TO THE 3 DOOR LATCHES AND BYPASS DAMPER LEVER.

7. THE FLUE COLLAR IS LOCATED IN THE BOX THAT WAS INSIDE THE HEATER. FOR A TOP FLUE
EXIT, ATTACH THE COLLAR TO THE TOP OF THE HEATER WITH BOLTS AND NUTS PROVIDED.
FURNACE CEMENT MAY BE USED TO SEAL UNDER THE COLLAR (SEE FIG.3). SHOULD A REAR
FLUE EXIT BE NECE~RYJYOU WILL NEED TO REMOVE THE BACK SHEET METAL COVER
PLATE FROM THE BACK SHIELD. THE FLUE COLLAR IS THEN FASTENED TO THE BACK OF
THE UNIT WITH THE BOLTS AND NUTSPROVIDED,AS SHOWN IN FIG. 3. INSTALL THE CAST

IRON COVER PLATE ON THE TOP OF THE HEATER IN THE UNUSED FLUE OPENING BY PLACING
A BEAD OF FURNACE CEMENT AROUND THE EDGE AND PLACE THE COVER IN POSITION SO IT
SITS FIRMLY AGAINST THE CAST IRON. FOR ATTACHING THE COVER PLATE TO THE REAR OF
THE STOVE, YOU WILL ALSO NEED TO ATTACH THE FIXING BAR TO THE COVER PLATE WITH

THE BOLT AND WASHERS PROVIDED. SEE FIG. 4 FOR TOP COVER PLATE AND FIG. 5 FOR

REAR COVER PLATE INSTALLATION.

CHIMNEYS

THE VENTING SYSTEM CONSISTS OF A CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AND A CHIMNEY. THESE GET EXTREMELY
HOT DURING USE. TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE CHIMNEY MAY EXCEED 2000 DEGREES IN THE EVENT
OF A CREOSOTE FIRE. TO PROTECT AGAINST THE POSSIBILITY OF A HOUSE FIRE, THE CHIMNEY
CONNECTOR AND CHIMNEY MUST BE PROPERLY INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED. A THIMBLE MUST BE
USED WHEN A CONNECTION IS MADE THROUGH A COMBUSTIBLE WALL TO A CHIMNEY. A CHIMNEY
SUPPORT PACKAGE MUST BE USED WHEN A CONNECTION IS MADE THROUGH THE CEILING TO A
PRE-FABRICATED CHIMNEY. THESE ACCESSORIES ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO PROVIDE SAFE
CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLE WALL AND CEILING MATERIAl.

OF COURSfITHE CHIMNEY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VENTING OUT SMOKE AND GASES. THIS IS DONE BY
CHIMNEY DRAFT. DRAFT IS A FUNCTION OF THE HEIGHT AND DIAMETER OF A CHIMNEY FLUE
COMBINED WITH FLUE TEMPERATURE VERSUS OUTSIDE AIR TEMPERATURE. A WARM CHIMNEY WILL
DRAW BETTER ON A COLD DAY THAN ON A MILD DAY. THE AMOUNT OF DRAFT IN YOUR CHIMNEY MAY

ALSO BE DEPENDENT ON LOCAL GEOGRAPHY, NEARBY OBSTRUCTIONS, AND OTHER FACTORS.

THE HORIZON MINIMUM DRAFT REQUIREMENT IS -.055 WATER COLUMN INCHES. TOO MUCH DRAFT
MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE IN THE HEATER AND MAY DAMAGE THE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR.
INADWUATE DRAFT MAY CAUSE BACKPUFFING INTO THE ROOM AND "PLUGGING" OF THE CHIMNEY OR
THE CATALYST.

1

HE NFPA, AND MOST LOCAL CODES, STATE THAT

CHIMNEYS MUST BE THE REQUIRED HEIGHT ABOVE

THE ROOF OR OTHER OBSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFETY

AND FOR PROPER DRAFT OPERATION. THE

REQUIREMENT IS THAT THE CHIMNEY MUST BE AT

I.fAST 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 WITHIN10FEET
OF THE CHIMNEY, MEASURED HORIZONTALLY.

EXISTING t1ASONRY CHIMNEYS MAY BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR UNIT IF THE CHIMNEY FLUE DOES NOT
SERVE ANY OTHER APPLIANCE. A DOVRE UNIT REQUIRES A MINIMUM 6UDIAMETER FLUE. IF YOU ARE
PLANNING TO USE AN EXISTING CHIMNEY, FIRST HAVE IT CLEANED AND INSPECTED BY A QUAliFIED
PROFESSIONAL TO INSURE THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES AND IS IN OOOD
CONDITION.

DO NOT CONNECT YOUR UNIT TO AN UNLINED CHIMNEY.

FLUE GASES COULD
PENETRATE INTO THE HOUSEIAND THERE IS A DANGER OF EXPOSING NEARBY WOODEN MEMBERS OF
THE HOUSE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE, DUE TO POSSIBLE DRIED AND CRACKED MORTAR JOINTS.

~RNIN6

STATEMENT:

THE CHIMNEY FLUE CONNECTED TO A DOVRE UNIT MUST
NOT BE USED TO VENT ANY OTHER COAL, GAS, OIL, OR WOODBURNING APPLIANCE, AS
THIS MAY ALLOW HARMFUL ~ES INTO THE HOUSEHOLD AIR SUPPLY.

-IF YOUR CHIMNEY NEEDS REPAIR, CALL A CHIMNEY MASON. SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO BUILD A NEW
MASONRY CHIMNEY, CALL A QUALIFIED MASON AND BE SURE IT IS BUILT TO COMPLY WITH LOCAL

CODES, OR NFPA

#211.

GALVANIZED STEEL OR ALUMINUM PIPE. THEY
CANNOT PROPERLY WITHSTAND THE EXTREME
TEMPERATURES OF A WOOD FIRE. THE CRIMPED

END OF EACH PIPE MUST POINT DOWNWARD, OR

TOWARD THE UNIT (SEE FIG. 7). THIS KEEPS
ANY CONDENSCtTEFROM LEAKING OUT AT A PIPE
JOINT. IN ADDITION, SECURE EACH PIPE JOINT
WITH THREE SHEET METAL SCREWS TO PREVENT
SEPARATION DURING USE.

FACTORY BUill CHIMNEYS

A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY IS A LISTED RESIDENTIAL TYPE AND BUILDING HEATING APPLIANCE

CHIMNEY. GENERALLY, IT IS LESS EXPENSIVE TO CONSTRUCT A FACTORY BUILT RATHER THAN A

MASONRY CHIMNEY. A FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEY DOES NOT NEED A SPECIAL FOUNDATION AND CAN BE
SUPPORTED BY THE ROOFOR CEILING OF YOUR HOUSE. FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEYS COME IN A NUMBER
OF SIZES. YOUR DOVRE UNIT REQUIRES A 6" DIAMETER PIPE. BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE CHIMNEY

MANUFACTURERS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

STOVE PIPE OR CHIMNEY CONNECTOR

YOUR DOVRE UNIT NEEDS 6" SINGLE -WALL CHIMNEY TO CONNECT THE UNIT TO THE CHIMNEY FLUE.

BY PLACING THE UNIT AS CLOSE TO THE CHIMNEY AS ALLOWED BY CLEARANCES TO COMBUSTIBLES,

YOU WILL KEEP THE STOVEPIPE AS SHORT AND STRAIGHT AS POSSIBLE. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
SMOKE AND EXHAUSTED GAS TO FLOW SMOOTHLY INTO THE CHIMNEY. HORIZONTAL SECTIONS OF
STOVEPIPE SHOULD BE KEPT SHORT, AS THEY COLLECT SOOT AND CREOSOTE MORE EASILY AND,

THEREFORE, REQUIRE CLEANING MORE OFTEN.

ANY HORIZONTAL RUN OF STOVEPIPE MUST HAVE A SLIGHT RISE AWAY FROM THE UNIT OF 1/4" PER
FOOT OF PIPE. THIS WILL DIRECT ANY CONDENSCtTEFLOW BACK INTO THE UNIT WHERE IT CAN BE
BURNED SAFELY.

A LISTED DOUBLE -WALL CHIMNEY CONNECTOR OR LISTED CONNECTORS MAY BE USED IN
CONJUNCTION WITH AN OPTIONAL BACKSHIELD TO REDUCE THE CLEARANCES TO THE BACKWALL. SEE

THE CLEARANCE TABLE IN THE FOLLOWING SECTION.

ClEAIWiCES

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT SIMPLY COVERING A COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL WITH A
NON-COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL DOES NOT ALWAYS 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 TO8"BY USING DOVRE BACKSHIELD,
PART #500HSB, AND A LISTED DOUBLE-WAlL CONNECTOR PIPE. THE SIDE SHIELD, PART
.#500HSS, MAY ALSO BE USED TO REDUCE THE SIDEWALL CLEARANCES TO A MINIMUM OF

12".

THE FOLLOWING TABLE AND DIAGRAMS SHOW THE MINIMUM CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS BETWEEN
YOUR DOVRE HORIZON, CHIMNEY CONNECTORS AND UNPROTECTED COMBUSTIBLE WALLS AND
MATERiALS.

FLOOR

PROJECTION

A COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR MUST BE PROTECTED FROM THE RADIANT HEAT GIVEN OFF BY THE STOVE 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 YOUR
UNIT IS ACCEPTABLE. A LAYER 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 I-IAVING A THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY OF K=0.84 BTU IN/FT2 HR F,

DR AN EQUALLY THICK LISTED FLOOR PROTECTOR. THE REQUIRED DIMENSIONS OF FLOOR PROTECTOR

VARY ACCORDING TO THE LENGTH OF CHIMNEY CONNECTORAS SHOWN. IF YOU CONSTRUCT YOUR OWN
FLOOR PROTECTOR WITH THE ONE LAYER OF MILLBOARD, WE SUGGEST THAT IT THEN BE COVERED
WITH CERAMIC TILE, OR THIN BRICK, AND FRAMED TO PROTECT THE MILLBOARD AND GIVE IT A
FINISHED LOOK.

ANY HORIZONTAL LENGTH OF CHIMNEY CONNECTOR PIPE MUST ALSO HAVE THE FLOOR PROTECTOR

BENEATH IT AND EXTENDING2"ON EACH SIDE Of THE PIPE. THE REQUIRED FLOOR PROTECTOR SIZE
fOR MODEL 500CC IS 48" X 36". IN CANADA, A fLOOR PROTECTOR OF 50" X 38" IS REQUIRED.

-8-

NOTE;

IN CALCULATING EQUIVALENT THICKNESS OF ALTERNATE MATERIALS, THE

FOllOWING FORMULA SHOULD BE USED:

ONE LAYER OF 3/8" (O.37SINCH) THICK MILLBQl\RD HAS A K FACTOR OF

(BTU) JINCH)

0.21 (HR) (FT ) (oF) AT

vs-r

IF COMMON BRICK WERE BEING USED AS AN ALTERNATE MATERIAL WITH A K FACTOR OF
S.O AT

zs-r.

THE THICKNESS REQUIRED WOULD BE AS FOLLOWS:

REQUIRED THICKNESS=(K OF BRICK/K OF MILLBQl\RD) X (THICKNESS OF

MILLBOARD) OR (S/0.21) X 3/8 IN.)=91N. OF BRICK - MINIMUM.

WAll PROTECTION

YOUR DOVRE UNIT HAS BEEN TESTED AND APPROVED FOR INSTALLATION WITHOUT ANY SPECIAL
PROTECTION FOR THE WALLS AROUND IT, AS LONG AS THE NECES&\RY CLEARANCES BETWEEN THE
UNIT, STOVEPIPE, AND WALL ARE MAINTAINED. (SEE DIAGRAM UNDER

·CLEARANCES·

FOR
DETAIL). HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED DISTANCE BETWEEN THE UNIT AND
WALLS, YOU MAY CONSTRUCT OR PURCHASE A WALL PROTECTOR OR USE AN OPTIONAL REAR HEAT
SHIELD ATTACHMENT, (PART #SOOHSB) WHICH REDUCES THE CLEARANCE TO AN UNPROTECTED
REAR WALL TO A MINIMUM 8" FROM THE UNIT, WHEN USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH A DOUBLE -WALL
CONNECTOR PIPE.

IF YOU ELECT TO PURCHASE A WALL PROTECTOR, IT MUST BE LISTED. UNDERWRITER'S
LABORATORIES REQUIRE A MINIMUM 12" CLEARANCE BETWEEN ANY STANDARD HEATER AND WALL
PROTECTOR. YOUR CHOICE OF A LISTED WALL PROTECTOR WILL DEPEND ON HOW MUCH
UNPROTECTED CLEARANCE MAY BE REDUCED. FOR EXAMPLE, A PROTECTOR OFFERING A 2/3 OR 66~

REDUCTION WILL ALLOW A 36" CLEARANCE TO BECOME 12"; AND A

112

OR SO~ REDUCTION WILL

CHANGE A 24" CLEARANCE TO 12'. BE SURE TO FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER'S INSTAllATION

INSTRUCTIONS ON ANY LISTED WALL PROTECTOR.

SHOULD YOU DECIDE TO CONSTRUCT A WALL PROTECTOR, BE SURE IT IS APPROVED BY YOUR LOCAL

BUILDING CODE OFFlCAl. THE MOST COMMON WALL PROTECTOR CONSTRUCTION IS A VENTILATED,

NON-COMBUSTIBLE WALL SHIELD.

SECTION II

OPERATION

AS WAS MENTIONED IN THE INTRODUCTION. THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS IN THE SAFETY AND

RELIABILITY OF YOUR DOVRE UNIT ARE INSTALLING AND OPERATING IT CORRECTLY. SECTION II WILL
EXPLAIN HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT SAFEL Y AND EFFICIENTLY AND MAKE IT LAST FOR YEARS.

A KEY FACTOR IN OPERATING YOUR STOVE SAFELY AND EFFICIENTLY. IS CONTROLLING CREOSOTE.
CREOSOTE VARIES IN APPEARANCE FROM A DARK. HEAVY. TAR-LIKE LIQUID TO DARK FLAKES

ATTACHED TO THE STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FLUE LINER. IT IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. AND IS THE FUEL

BURNT DURING A CHIMNEY FIRE. SINCE CHIMNEY FIRES ARE A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE AND CAN
CAUSE SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE EVEN TO A WELL -CONSTRUCTED CHIMNEY.

YOUR MOST IMPORTANT

JOB IN MFElYOPERATING THE UNIT IS TO CONTROL THE FORMATION OF CREOSOTE.

THE HORIZON MODEL SOOCC INCORPORATES THE NEWEST COMBUSTION EFFICIENCY TECHNOLOGY
WHICH HELPS SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCE CREOSOTE BUILD-UP WHEN OPERATED CORRECTLY. BY
BURNING ONLY WELL SEASONED WOOD (LESS THAN 20% MOISTURE). AND THROUGH PROPER
UTILIZATION OF THE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR AND BYPASS DAMPER WHENEVER THE STOVE IS AT
NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND THE CPT IS OVER 400 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

WARNING STATEMENT:

CREOSOTE & SOOT - FORMATION AND NEED FOR REMOVAL

- WHEN WOOD IS BURNED SLOWL Y. IT PRODUCES TAR AND OTHER OR(lI\NIC VAPORS.
WHICH COMBINE WITH EXPELLED MOISTURE TO FORM CREOSOTE. THE CREOSOTE
VAPORS CONDENSE IN THE RELATIVELY COOL CHIMNEY FLUE OF A SLOW-BURNING
FIRE. AS A RESULT. CREOSOTE RESIDUE ACCUMULATES ON THE FLUE LINING. WHEN

IG! :ITED. THIS CREOSOTE MAKES AN EXTREMELY HOT FIRE.

THE CHIMNEY CONNECTOR AND CHIMNEY SHOULD BE INSPECTED TWICE MONTHLY
DURING THE HEATING SEASON TO DETERMINE IF A CREOSOTE BUILD-UP HAS
OCCURED.

TO LET IN TOO MUCH AIR TO AN OVERLOADED FIREBOX CAN RESULT IN A VERY HOT FIRE WHICH IS
DANGEROUS AND IS BURNING TOO FAST TO LET THE CAST IRON PULL MOST OF THE BTU'S OR HEAT.

INTO THE ROOM. TOOMUCH HEAT IS THEN LOST UP THE CHIMNEY AND EFFICIENCY IS REDUCED.

WARNING STATEMENT:

DO NOT OVERflRE YOUR DOVRE UNIT. IF ANY PART OF

THE APPLIANCE STARTS TO GLOW. YOUR ARE OVERF/RING. STOP ADDING FUEL. CLOSE

THE DOORS TIGHTLY. AND CLOSE DRAFT CONTROLS COMPLETELY UNTIL THE GLOWING
HAS STOPPED.

DO NOT BURN LARGE QUANTITIES Of PAPER IN YOUR UNIT. THIS WILL CAUSE AN

EXTREMELY HOT FIRE THAT COULD IGNITE ANY CHIMNEY CREOSOTE TO FORM IN THE
CHIMNEY. IN ADDITION, NEVER BURN TRASH. PLASTIC OR OTHER CHEMICALS IN
YOUR UNIT WHICH MAY DO CORROSIVE DAMAGE TO THE CHIMNEY FLUE LINING. OR

DANGEROUS GASES TO BE RELEASED INTO THE AIR. AVOID BURNING WET OR GREEN
WOOD AND DRIFTWOOD WHICH CAN CAUSE CREOSOTE. USE SEASONED WOOD

(PREfERABLY TWO YEARS).

-10-

WARNING STATEMENT:

A SMOKE ALARM IS RECOMMENDED FOR THE ROOM IN

WHICH THE UNIT IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT OF A CHIMNEY FIRE, IMMEDIATELY:

A. CLOSE THE UNIT DOORSAND DRAFT CONTROLS COMPLETEL Y.
B. CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
C. EVACUATE THE HOUSE.

A MAJOR FEATURE OF A DOVRE UNIT IS ITS PREMIUM, OUALITY CAST IRON BODY. CAST IRON HAS

BEEN USED TO HOLD FIRE FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED YEARS IN EUROPE. A PRIMARY REASON FOR
CHOOSING TO BUILD OUR UNITS WITH CAST IRON IS ITS PROVEN DURABILITY. UNLIKE COMMON PLATE
STEELIDOVRE CAST IRON WILL EXPAND AND CONTRACT WITHOUT LOSING ITS ORIGINAL SHAPE OR
STRENGTH, WHEN REPEATEDLY EXPOSED TO THE TEMPERATURES OF SOLID FUEL BURNING. BECAUSE

IT DOES NOT WARP OR CHANGE SHAPE, OUR CAST IRON IS IDEALLY SUITED TO MAINTAINING THE
REQUIRED AIRTIGHT CONSTRUCTION NECESSARY IN A DOVRE UNIT.

ANOTHER CAST IRON ADVANTAGE IS ITS SUPERIOR ABILITY TO EFFECTIVELY TRANSMIT THE HEAT

FROM THE FIRE CHAr''lBER INTO THE SURROUNDING AREA. THIS CHARACTERISTIC OF MINIMAL HEAT
RESISTANCE AND EVEN TEMPERATURE DISPERSAL ISAS IMPORTANT TOA DOVRE UNIT AS IT HAS BEEN
TO OLD FASHIONED ('AST IRON FRYING PANS.

WARNING STATEMENT:

SINCE THE OUTSIDE SURFACE OF THE CAST IRON DOORS

BECOMES VERY HOT, YOU SHOULD USE A GLOVE OR OTHER HAND PROTECTION WHEN
OPERATING THE APPLIANCE. THIS WILL ELIMINATE ACCIDENTAL SKIN BURNS. BE
SURE TO WARN CHILDREN TO NEVER TOUCH THE UNIT WHEN IT IS IN OPERATION
WITHOUT PROPER SKIN PROTECTION.

KEEP ALL HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES FAR AWAY FROM THE DOORS.

TO INSURE YOUR CAST IRON PROVIDES THE YEARS OF SATISFACTION IT IS CAPABLE OF, YOU MUST
ALSO REMEMBER THAT IT IS A SLIGHTLY BRITTLE METAL. IT MAY NOT WITHSTAND THE SHOCK OF A
SHARP BLOW OR A SUDDEN TEMPERATURE CHANGE, SUCH AS POURING WATER ON A HOT STOVE.
PLACING AN ICE-LADEN LOO AGAINST THE HOT CAST IRON CAN ALSO CAUSE THERMAL SHOCK AND
CRACK THE METAL. ADDITIONALLY, CONTACT WITH WATER WILL POSSIBLY CAUSE RUST TO FORM.
SHOULD THIS OCCUR, CLEAN THE METAL SURFACE AND COVER WITH TOUCH UP PAINT WHEN THE UNIT

IS NOT OPERATING.

TO MORE OUlCKL Y ACHIEVE BEST RESULTS OPERATING YOUR HEATER, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE
USE OF A STOVE TOP SURFACE THERMOMETER. THIS THERMOMETER HELPS YOU MONITOR HEAT
OUTPUT, SO YOU CAN QUICKLY LEARN THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT AIR CONTROL SETTINGS, AND THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN STOVE TEMPERATURE AND ROOM TEMPERATURE. IN ADDITION, THE MODEL
500CC HAS A CATALYTIC PROBE THERMOMETER (CPT) WHICH TELLS YOU HOW THE CATALYTIC
COMBUSTOR IS WORKING. THIS INDICATOR IS CRITICAL TO THE DAILY OPERATION OF THE MODEL
500CC.

THE MODEL SOOCC ALSO CONTAINS A DAMPER BYPASS SYSTEM. THE BYPASS DAMPER AND CATALYTIC
COMBUSTOR WORK TOOETHER. THE BYPASS MUST BE OPEN WHEN THE COMBUSTOR IS NOT HOT
ENOUGH TO IGNITE (CPT 400· F TO 500· F), AND ANYTIME YOU OPEN A DOOR ON THE UNIT.
OTHERWISE, WHENEVER THE CPT READING IS OVER 4000TO 500· F AND THE HEATER DOORS ARE
CLOSED, THE BYPASS DAt'lPER SHOULD BE CLOSED FOR BEST EFFICIENCY AND EMISSION RESULTS.

-11-

J!UJllU~1lSJ

WOOD

FI~

OPEN EITHER THE SIDE OR FRONT LOADING DOOR AND THE BYPASS DAMPER CONTROL (TURNED TO IP
POSITION). BUILD A SMALL FIRE USING PAPER AND DRY KINDLING. AFTER LIGHTING THE FIRE,
CLOSE THE DOOR AND OPEN THE DRAFT CONTROLS (BOTH FRONT AND SIDE) TO THE FULL-OPEN
POSITON.

ONCE A

1"-2"

BED OF COALS HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED, ADD2OR 3 MEDIUM SIZE SPLIT LOOS (ABOUT

2"-4" DIAMETER), KEEPING THE BYPASS DAMPER AND DRAFT INLETS OPEN. NORMALLY AFTER

15
TO 30 MINUTES AND THE CATALYST TEMPERATURE IS 400° TO 500° F, THE CATALYST WILL BE
OPfRATING. THEN Cl.OSE THE BYPASS DAMPER.

TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF HEAT PRODUCED BY YOUR UNIT, START BY CLOSING THE SIDE DRAFT

INLET AND THEN ADJUSTING THE FRONT DRAFT CONTROLS. BY CLOSING THE SIDE DRAFT INLET FIRST
AND THEN ADJUSTING THE FRONT DRAFT INLETS, YOU WILL CONTROL THE STOVES HEAT OUTPUT AND
MAINTAIN A DESIRABLE ROOM TEMPERATURE.

FOR MAXIMUM HEAT OUTPUT, OPEN THE FRONT DRAFT CONTROLS COMPLETELY AND THE SIDE DRAFT
CONTROL TO FUll-OPEN THIS WILL ALLOW THE UNIT TO PRODUCE 30,000 TO 50,000 BTU/HR
WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES OF 600· TO 9000F.

CAIAlYIIC

PROBE THERMOMETER

(CPT) :

DURING START UP OF YOUR DOVRE HORIZON AND DURING THE REFUELING CYCLES, THE
TEI1PERATURES SHOWN ON YOUR CATALYTIC PROBE THERMOMETER (CPT)WILL TELL YOU HOW YOUR
CATALYST :3 OPERATING AND WHEN THE BYPASS DAMPER MAY BE CLOSED. THE LOCATION OF THE CPT
PROVIDES THE MOST ACCURATE READING, SINCE IT IS DIRECTLY ABOVE THE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR.

DURING START UP OR REFUELING, THE BYPASS DAMPER IS OPEN. WHEN THE CPT REACHES 400· TO
5000F, THE BYPASS DAMPER MAY BE CLOSED. AT THIS POINT, THE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR IS HOT
ENOUGH TO FUNCTION.

THE INFORMATION FROM A SURFACE THERMOMETER IS VERY HELPFUL IN ADJUSTING THE DRAFT

INLETS FOR THE DESIRED HEAT OUTPUT. YOU SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THE TEMPERATURES AND AIR

INLET SETTINGS Will VARY DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF WOOD, MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE WOOD.
AND THE DRAFT OF YOUR CHIMNEY. AS YOU BECOME fAMILAR WITH YOUR UNIT. YOU WILL
DETERMINE THE BEST AMOUNT OF FUEL AND DRAFT SETTING FOR THE HEATING REQUIREMENTS OF
YOUR HOME.

INCIDENTALLY, DURING THE FIRST FIRING, YOUR DOVRE UNIT WILL GIVE OFF A SLIGHTLY

UNPLEASANT DOOR AS THE HIGH TEMPERATURE PAINT CURES. DON'T BE ALARMED, AS THIS WILL
ONLY LAST FOR ABOUT 30 TO 60 MINUTES AFTER THE SURFACE TEMPERATURE ON THE STOVE

REACHES 400°F.

ADDING FUEL;

USE THE ASH HOE PROVIDED WITH YOUR UNIT TO SEPERATE HOT COALS FROM THE ASH. BY PUSHING

THE ASH TO THE REAR OF THE FUEL BED AND PULLING THE HOT COALS FORWARD TOWARD THE AIR

INLET, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO QUICKLY AND EASILY RECHARGE THE FIRE. ADD 2 OR 3 LOOS, CLOSE

THE LOADING DOORAND COMPLETELY OPEN THE DRAFT CONTROL.

'-12-

WARNING STATEMENT:

DO NOT OPERATE YOUR UNIT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF

TIME WITH SURFACE TEMPERATURES HIGHER THAN 900· F, OR CPT TEMPERATURES

OVER 1800° F. YOU MAY DAMAGE THE CATALYST AND THE CASTINGS.

DAILY USE;

BUILD THE FIRES IN THE SAME MANNER AS THE FIRST FIRE - ALWAYS REMEMBERING TO OPEN THE

BYPASS DAMPER BEFORE OPENING THE FEED DOOR. ALLOW THE FIRE TO BURN VIGOROUSLY FOR

ABOUT 15 TO 30 MINUTES TO IGNITE THE COMBUSTOR. THE COMBUSTOR IGNITES AT ABOUT 400· TO

5000F CPT AND BEGINS TO WORK. ONCE THE COMBUSTOR IS OPERATING, THE BYPASS DAMPER

CONTROL CAN BE CLOSED AND THE DRAFT INLETS ADJUSTED FOR TYHE DESIRED AMOUNT OF HEAT.

fUELS;

THIS DOVRE HEATER IS DESIGNED TO BURN CORD WOOD. THE USE OF OTHER FUELS WILL SHORTEN

THE LIFE AND PERFORMANCE OF THE CATALYTIC COMBUSTOR. DO NOT BURN TRASH OR GARBAGE,
ARTlFICAL LOGS, COAL, CHEMICAL STARTERS, DRIFTWOOD, TREATED OR PAINTED WOOD. THESE ALL
CONTAIN CHEMICALS THAT MAY CAUSE THE CATALYST TO STOP WORKING PROPERLY.

IF YOU STILL CHOOSE TO OCCASIONALLY ADD COAL TO YOUR WOOD FIRE, THE COMBUSTOR
MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDS THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE. LEAVE THE BYPASS DAMPERS OPEN
DURING COAL USAGE, AND WHEN REFUELING WITH WOOD, A HOT START -UP FIRE WILL BE
NECESSARY TO BURN COAL RESIDUE FROM THE CATALYST SURFACE. WATCH FOR THE CPT
TEMPERATURE TO BE IN THE NORMAL RANGE AFTER CLOSING THE BYPASS DAMPERS TO DETERMINE IF
THE COMBUSTOR IS OPERATING NORMALLY AGAIN.

WOOD IS SOLD BY THE CORD, WHICH IS A PILE OF FOUR-FOOT

toes

STACKED FOUR-FEET HIGH AND
EIGHT-FEET LONG, OR 128 CUBIC FEET. A CORD OF HARDWOOD WILL GENERALLLY WEIGH ABOUT TWO
TONS. OBVIOUSLY, THE CORD LOOS MUST BE CUT TO FIT YOUR DOVRE UNIT. THE

ios

LENGTH

RECOMMENDED FOR A DOVRE HORIZON MODEL 500CC IS 22" - 24".

IF PURCHASING WOOD, LOOK FOR HARDWOOD SUCH AS HICKORY, OAK, BEECH, ROCK MAPLE, AND
BLACK WALNUT, AS THEY CONTAIN MORE BTU VALUE PER SQUARE INCH THAN SOFTER WOODS LIKE
COTTONWOOD, SYCAMORE, ELM, AND PINE.

ASH HANDLING

USE THE ASH HOE PROVIDED WITH YOUR STOVE TO WORK THE DESIRED AMOUNT OF ASH THROUGH THE
GRATE INTO THE ASH PAN. SOME ASH ON THE GRATE IS DESIRABLE TO HELP KEEP AN ACTIVE BED OF
COALS FOR REFUELING. WE RECOMMEND EMPTYING THE ASH PAN AT LEAST ONCE A DAY WHEN THE
STOVE IS IN CONSTANT OPERATION.

DO NOT LET ASHES BUILD UP IN THE ASH PAN UNTIL

THEY REACH THE GRATE AS THIS WILL LEAD TO DETERIORATION OF THE GRATE.

DISPOSAL OF ASHES

ASHES MUST BE DISPOSED OF CAREFULLY. IT IS CRITICAL TO REMEMBER THAT WHILE YOU MAY NOT
SEE ANY RED COALS IN THE ASHES BEING REMOVED, IT IS MOST LIKELY THERE STILL IS SOME

RESIDUAL BURNING OCCURRING UNLESS THE FIRE HAS BEEN COLD FOR AT LEAST 48 HOURS OR MORE.

ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID. THE CLOSED
CONTAINER OF ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NON-COMBUSTIBLE FLOOR OR ON THE GROUND, WELL
AWAY FRat'1 ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, PENDING FINAL DISPOSAL. IF THE ASHES ARE DISPOSED
OF BY BURIAL IN SOIL OR OTHERWISE LOCALLY DISBURSED, THEY SHOULD BE RETAINED IN THE
CLOSED CONTAINER UNTIL ALL CINDERS HAVE THOROUGHLYCOOLED.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DUSTING WITH A BRUSH OCASSIONALLY WILL KEEP YOUR DOVRE UNIT CLEAN. IF YOUR DOVRE HAS

THE BRASS OPTIONS,

DO NOT USE ANY ABRASIVE CLEANERS OR SOLVENTS

AS THEY COULD
DAMAGE THE BRASS FINISH. IF YOUR UNIT HAS THE PORCELAIN OPTION, SIMPLE CLEANING WITH A
DAMP CLOTH WILL KEEP IT LOOKING LIKE NEW. REGULARLY CHECK THE DOOR GASKETS FOR

ANYTHING THAT MIGHT BE LODGED IN THE FABRIC AND CAUSE DAMAGE.

AT THE END OF THE HEATING SEASON, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU REMOVE THE SOOT IN THE UNIT
WITH A WI~E BRUSH AND INSPECT THE JOINTS AND INNER CAST IRON PARTS FOR DAMAGE. THIS IS
ALSO A GOOD TIME TO TOUCH UP THE EXTERIOR PAINT IF NEEDED. SEE YOUR DOVRE DEALER FOR

TOUCH-UP PAINT.

FREQUENT INSPECTION OF THE CONNECTOR PIPE AND CHIMNEY SYSTEM ARE IMPORTANT. YOU MAY
ELECT TO DO THE CLEANING OF THE CHIMNEY YOURSELF, OR USE A PROFESSIONAL CHIMNEY SWEEP.
IF YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCED IN THIS AREA, WE RECOMMEND HAVING A PROFESSIONAL CHIMNEY
SWEEP INSPECT AND CLEAN YOUR CHIMNEY.

YOU MAY NOTICE THE BUILD UP OF SOOT ON YOUR GLASS DOORS AFTER A LONG BURN CYCLE. THIS
SOOTWILL BURN OFF DURINGA HOT BRISK FIRING PERIOD, WHICH ALWAYS IS RECOMMENDED AFTER

AN OVERNIGHT BURN. SHOULD YOU CARE TO CLEAN THE GLASS WITHOUT FIRING THE STOVE, WE

RECOMMEND lHE USE OF ro\RSE STEEL WOOL OR SPRAY-ON OVEN CLEANER. JUST SPRAY IT ON AND
WIPE IT OFF WITH A SOFT CLOTH. BE SURE THE UNIT DOESN'T CONTAIN A FIRE. AS THE OVEN
CLEANER IS FLAMMABLE.

TO REPLACE A BROKEN GLASS, CONTACT YOUR DOVRE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. DOVRE UNITS USE
ONLY THE HIGHEST QUALITY CERAMIC GLASS AND ANY REPLACEMENT GLASS MUST ALSO BE MADE OF
THIS MATERIAl.

TOUBLE SHOOTING

BACK PUFfiNG - THIS CONDITION IS USUALLY CAUSED BY WEAK DRAFT OR STRONG GUST OF WIND.
DRAFT WILL BE WEAKER DURING MILD TEMPERATURES THAN ON COLD DAYS. TO CORRECT A WEAK
DRAFT, KEEP THE LOADING DOOR CLOSED AND DRAFT CONTROLS OPEN SO A HOT FIRE CAN BE
OENERATED, WHICH WILL HEAT THE CHIMNEY AND STRENGTHEN THE DRAFT. BE SURE THERE ISN'T

ANY OBSTRUCTION IN THE CHIMNEY.

DOESN'T BURN OVERNIGHT - THIS IS OFTEN CAUSED BY BURNING TOO LITTLE WOOD OR WOOD THAT IS
TOO SMALL IN DIAMETER, OR TOO SOFTIWHICH BURNS TOO RAPIDLY. LOAD WITH FULL SIZE
HARDWOOD, AND BE SURE TO REDUCE THE DRAFT CONTROLS TO 1/3 OR LESS FOR OVERNIGHT BURNS.

ALSO, CHECK TO SEE THAT GASKETS ARE SEALING WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED.

Outshines every

one in its class.

Inch for inch, pound for pound, dollar
for dollar, the Horizon premium cast
iron stove is a better value than other
stoves in its class.

This state-of-the-art controlled
combustion wood stove produces a
generous 50,000 BTU/hour-enough
to provide the primary heat source
for 1,000 to 1,500 square feet of liv-

ing space with good room to room
ci rcu lation.

Horizon accepts 24" logs-up to
eight inches longer than comparable
stozes-e-from thafrontor.side tor.load-

ing convenience. Six inch venting
from top or rear coupled with minimal
clearance requirements provide ex-

cellent installation versatility.

When it comes down to brass tacks,
you'll find the Horizon has a more

polished appearance than many stove

designs. The optional brass accent

package plus brass spring handle

complement any decor from simple
to sophisticated. And the extra large

ceramic glass flaunts the fire while

a special built-in air wash system

keeps the glass clean.

The Horizon stove meets the U.S.

EPA 1990 clean burn emission stand-

ard and has the safety approval of

Underwriters Laboratories. Weighing

the facts, we think it will meet your

approval, too.
