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

500

F 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.
