Dovre Horizon 500cc Manual

[ZeroDiscipline]

Newbie here....Just want to say what a great site! Tons of info. After searching the internet, searching the forums and a full blown Hearth.com search, I just can't seem to find a owners manual for a used stove I just purchased (350 bucks)

It's around 10 years old and the rear panel says it's made by Dovre in Aurora Illinois Maybe a Heatilator company back then
If anyone can offer any info about this stove ie. gotchas,operation etc that would be great!

Thanks

I believe Dovre was bought out by Quadra-Fire - maybe try them for a manual?

Edit: Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for the tip Shari ! I checked out their website but no old manuals ....

i have that stove with manual,whatis it you need to know?

 

[ZeroDiscipline]

As this is my first stove, I would like to get a manual to familiarize myself with all aspects of the stove ie. installation,opreation etc. Especially how and when to use the catalytic converter

I've had the Aurora by Dovre since 1993 and it has been great. Yes, Dovre was bounced around a few times and is now part of Quadri-fire. You can also Google Dovre and you'll see that they are still being made in the U.K.-perhaps they can help, although they'll probably refer you back to Quadri-fire. Dovre made very good stoves, but never really caught on here in the U.S. I hope you find some information.

You got a scanner? Digitize that puppy and e-mail the file to the OP. Failing that, get a hard copy made and send it to the OP. These forums are all about helping each other out. Rick

Thanks wireman. If you email or pm the webmaster or myself with the file, we'll post the manual here for others to find. If hard-copy, we can arrange fax or I've got a scanner and will assist if needed.

i will see if my wife can help figure out how to send manual , im not that up to speed in that area.

 

[ZeroDiscipline]

If you feel comfortable in snail mailing it to me, I could scan it and make copies and send the orignal back. Thanks for all the help !! What a cool site !

 

[wireman2511]

my wife said she can scan it waiting for her to have time .

 

[wireman2511]

My Wife scaned Manual 19 pages and it appears the attachment is to large for it to go through I can send direct to your email address

 

[wireman2511]

I just sent the manual as an attachment to the webmaster so he can post it on the site as the attachment was to large to upload in the forum

I'm looking for the cast part that diffuses the flu gases just below the catylitic combustor on this stove. Casting says HL 100-01. Take care in loading this stove. Hitting this while trying to fill stove will break it.
In searching I found a sight that has manual to download.
