Optional Accessories
A wide range of accessories (such as handling gloves, reside tools, glass cleaner and heat-
proof paint) are available for use with your Morsø stove. They help with day-to-day running
and maintenance. Contact your Morsø dealer for more information.
The Morsø 2B Classic meets the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s emission limits for
wood heaters sold on or after July 1, 1990
The Morsø 2B Classic have been tested by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. The test standards
are ANSI/UL-1482 for the United States and ULC S627 for Canada.
The stove is listed for burning wood only. Do not burn other fuels.
Under specic test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging
from 10,000 to 23,600 Btu´s.
Cast iron
Cast iron is a live material. There are no two ovens that are identical. This is partly due to the
tolerances of the casting process, partly because the ovens are a work of craftsmanship.
Minor unevennesses may also occur in the cast iron surface.

Installation of woodburning stoves must be safe and legal.
If your Morsø stove is not installed correctly, it may cause a house re. To reduce the risk
of re, the installation instructions must be followed carefully. Contact the local building
ocials about restrictions and installation inspection in your area.
Before you start installing your stove, make sure that:
- The stove and chimney connection are placed far enough from combustible materials to
meet all clearance requirements.
- The oor protection must be adequate and must be made correctly according to the re-
quirements.
All neccessary approvals are needed from the local building ocials.
The data plate, which is located on the back of the stove, provides information regarding safety
testing information, name of certied testing laboratory, and installation requirements.
Installation requirements vary in dierent districts, and the local building ocials have the nal
authorization to approve your installation. You should discuss the installation with them before
beginning. Please ask your dealer for further information.
Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Important: If the installation instructions are not followed carefully, it may cause dan-
gerous situations like chimney - and house res. Follow the instructions carefully and
do not deviate from them as it may cause injuries to people or property.
1.0 Installation of your Morsø stove

1.1 Unpacking the stove
2B Classic: After removing the outer packaging, atten it and lay onto the oor close to the
stove; this can then act as protective work surface during the assembly process.
Next, remove the legs and bolts from inside the stove. Gently lay the stove onto its back and
unscrew it from the wooden pallet. Using the bolts supplied, now screw the legs into position
on the underside of the base. The stove should now be lifted and moved into the upright posi-
tion, avoiding excess load on the back legs.
1.2 Checking loose parts in the stove
After unpacking, check that the re bricks are rmly in position and have not shifted in tran-
sit. Check also that the air control works freely.
Before starting the initial re, make sure that the bae (1) and insulation (2) over the bae
are placed correctly, as shown on the images below. Also check that the cover (3) identica-
tion number 2118 are placed correctly.

How to t the Smoke Cover
Place the smoke cover by the smoke vent in front of the stove. This is easily done by leading
the smoke cover down through the ue collar before tting the pipe. It is also possible to t
the smoke cover through the access door opening. See pictures below.

7
How to t the Vertical Bae
Lead the vertical bae through the door as shown below (picture 1 & 2). Place the bae
into the right position (picture 3 & 4). The bae insulation is placed on the bae.
Standard Accessories
A Morsø glove and ceramic ue connection gasket are standard accessories that usually can
be found in the ashpan or rebox area.

DK ENG
1.3 The chimney / ue system
Note that the ue system must be independently secured and must not rely on the stove
for support.
The stove must not be connected to a chimney ue serving any other appliance. (Sev-
eral ues may run up a single chimney stack; use one ueway per appliance).
Use a residential type masonry or listed type HT factory-built chimney.
High Temperature (H.T.) Chimney Standard UL-103-1985 (2100º F.) or a code-approved
masonry chimney with ue liner for the USA, and High Temperature (650ºC) Standard
ULC S-629 for Canada.
The internal dimensions of the chimney connector and chimney must not be less than 6 inch-
es diameter (or equivalent cross section), and should not be signicantly larger than this. Too
large a section will tend to allow the ue gases to cool excessively, causing sluggishness or
unpredictability in the stove’s performance.
We recommend the length of the chimney system should be at least 16 feet (not required)
above the stove in normal domestic situations, measured from the ue collar to the top of
the chimney.
Local conditions like for example - roof constructions, large trees nearby and high altitude,
may inuence the chimney draft and height. Therefore, contact the local professional chim-
ney sweep or your Morsø dealer.
Typical Factory-Built or Masonry Chimney Installations

1.4 Flue Connection
A ue collar is placed in the rebox area.
Use a 24 MSG black or blue chimney connector or listed double wall chimney connector. Re-
fer to local codes and the chimney manufacturer’s instructions for precautions required for
passing a chimney through a combustible wall or ceiling. Remember to secure the chimney
connector with a minimum of three screws to the product and to each adjoining section.
Position the stove and connect to the ue system.
Wear gloves and protective eyewear when drilling, cutting or joining sections of chim-
ney connector.
1.5 Connection to the existing chimney
A chimney connector is the double-wall or single-wall pipe that connects the stove to the chim-
ney. The chimney itself is the masonry or prefabricated structure that encloses the ue. Chim-
ney connectors are used only to connect the stove to the chimney.
Double-wall connectors must be tested and listed for use with solid-fuel burning applianc-
es. Single-wall connectors should be made of 24 gauge or heavier gauge steel. Do not use
galvanized connector; it cannot withstand the high-temperatures that smoke and exhaust
gases can reach, and may release toxic fumes under high heat. The connector must be 6
inches (150mm) in diameter.
If possible, do not pass the chimney connector through a combustible wall or ceiling. If pas-
sage through a combustible wall is unavoidable, refer to the sections on Wall Pass- Throughs.
Do not pass the connector through an attic, a closet or similar concealed space when install-
ing the chimney connectors.
It is important to keep the ue gases moving smoothly in the right direction. Do not vent
into a large void at this location; rather form one continuous section all the way up. Use mild
bends (e.g. 45º vs. 90º) rather than sharp angles where a change of direction is required. All
parts of the venting must be accessible for cleaning purposes.
In horizontal runs of chimney, maintain a distance of 18 inches from the ceiling. Keep it as
short and direct as possible, with no more than two 90 degree turns. Slope horizontal runs
of connector upward 1/4 inch per foot (20 mm per metre) going from the stove toward the
chimney. The recommended maximum length of a horizontal run is 3 feet (1 metre), and the
total length should be no longer than 8 feet (2.5 metres).
Information on assembling and installing connectors is provided by the manufacturer’s in-
structions exactly as you assemble the connector and attach it to the stove and chimney.
Be sure the installed stove and chimney connector are correct distances from near by
combustible materials. See the clearance paragraph page 11.
Where passage through a wall or partition of combustible construction is desired, the in-
stallation shall conform to CAN/CSA-B365.

1.6 Positioning the stove
Distance to walls and lintel
When the stove is positioned near combustible materials, observe all current local and na-
tional building regulations with regards to clearances. Whatever regulations apply to your
area, do not in any case install the stove within 8 inches of combustible materials around the
sides or 16 inches above the top of the stove (replace installations require greater clear-
ances above the stove - see below in the clearance chart). These distances may need to be
increased if the materials are sensitive to heat. Note also that wall paper and other decora-
tive materials may become detached with the eects of heat and care should be taken to
ensure that they do not fall towards the stove in such an event.
When the stove is positioned near non-combustible materials, a gap of 4 inches or more is
recommended for cleaning purposes and to ensure that heat circulates around the stove
and out into the room.

In the US, oor protection must be constructed of a non-combustible material and installed
to extend beneath the heater and 16’’ to the front and 8’’ to the sides of the fuel loading
door and ash removal openings. In Canada, oor protection must be constructed of a non-
combustible material and installed to extend beneath the heater and 450 mm.(16’’) to any
side with a door and 200 mm.(8’’) beyond the appliance on the other sides.
Distance to furniture
The recommended minimum distance from stove to furniture is 30 inches. Note that some
furniture is more easily aected by heat and may need to be moved to a greater distance.
This is your responsibility.
In addition other combustible materials, away from the stove. In general, a distance of 30
inches must be maintained between the stove and moveable combustible item such as dry-
ing clothes, newspapers, rewood etc.
DO NOT INSTALL IN A MOBILE HOME
Note:
Acid Protection
If acid-washing the masonry around the stove, protect the stove surface with an acid-proof
cover.
Fresh Air Inlet
Unless there is deemed to be sucient ambient leakage of air into the room via doorways, windows
and the like, a dedicated fresh air inlet will be needed. This inlet should have 2 square inches (1250
square mm) of free air space. This is particularly important where the room is well sealed, or where
an extractor hood or ventilation system disturbs the natural air pressure. Such an inlet should not
be on a wall that is usually subject to negative pressure from normal wind pattern. Avoid placing the
inlet directly across the room from the stove, thus causing a cold air draft.

2.0 Operation
2.1 Before you start ring
For use with solid wood fuel only.
Do not overre; if heater or chimney connector glows, you are overring.
Inspect and clean chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of use, creosote buildup
may occur rapidly. Because of risk of smoke and ame spillage, operate only with door
fully closed.
Caution:
Hot while in operation.
Keep children, clothing and furniture away.
Contact may cause skin burns.
Do not use chemicals or uids to start the re.
Do not burn garbage or ammable uids.
Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter or uid or simi-
lar liquids to start or freshen up a re in this heater. Keep all such liquids away from the
heater while it is in use.
Choosing your fuel
All types of natural wood can be burned on your stove, but they must be well-seasoned and
dry. Once the wood is cut to length, it should be split down middle - to suit the dimensions
given below - to allow moisture to evaporate.Cut the wood to a length of max 18 inches (45
cm) and approx. 3 to 3.5 inches (7-8 cm) in section. If you can weigh your wood, aim for around
2 lbs. For correct combustion and heat output, wood fuel should contain no more than 20%
moisture; this can easily be checked by using the Morsø Moisture Meter (part no. 62929900)
To naturally season wood fuel, stack and store it under cover in an airy location where fresh air
can move through each piece. Some soft woods may take as little as one good summer to sea-
son whereas harder woods such as oak, maple, and elm may require seasoning up to 18 months.
Avoid overly dry wood that is gray in color as under certain conditions it can cause performance
problems, such as back-pung and sluggishness. Well seasoned wood will be light to hold and
will show signs of cracking from the center-out in the ends. If your wood spits or sizzles when
burnt, and your stove’s door glass persistently mists up, your wood is not properly seasoned.
Never use drift wood (from the sea), whose salt content may cause corrosion, nor construction
wood that may have been impregnated with chemicals.
Caution: Do not place fuel within the installation clearances for the stove or within the
space required for loading fuel and ash removal.
Starting the First Fire
The initial re should be small, so that the stove paint can cure and the main plates of
the stove can settle into position. Some fumes will be given o by the paint. Ventilate
the room during this phase. The setting of the air control, lighting techniques and load-
ing intervals will depend on chimney draft, the fuel used, the heat required and so on.
Some basic techniques are outlined below.

14
DK ENG
In principle
Your stove is tted with Primary and Secondary air inlets.
Primary Air is controlled using the spinner on the door. Open the spinner will allow a supply
of preheated air to enter the rebox via the ‘airwash’ system situated inside the stove and
above the glass.
The secondary air is injected into the ue gases above the re resulting in a cleaner, more ef-
cient combustion process. The supply of secondary air is xed open and is not adjustable.
For extra safety, your stove has been tted with a removable handle on the frontdoor.
2.2 Lighting and loading intervals
When rst lighting the stove, a large volume of air is needed. When the stove is cold, you
should leave the door open an inch or two for the rst few minutes and open the primary air
supply completely. While the door is open, do not leave the stove unattended.
To form a reasonable bed of ash on the oor of the stove, you should use 2-4 pounds of dry
kindling at the initial lighting. If possible, maintain a 1-1.5 inch (2-3 cm) layer of ash on the
oor of the combustion chamber for added insulation.
1. The air supply must be fully open.
2. Light the re. An ember bed will quickly be formed by light-
ing with relighters, Morsø kindling bags or 7-10 pieces of twist-
ed paper under the dry kindling wood (see below).
3. After lighting, partially close the frontdoor, leaving it open
an inch or two to allow in plenty of combustion air. The ash-
door must be closed during the ring.
4. When the chimney is warm after about 5-10 minutes,
the frontdoor should be closed. A suitable layer of ember
will be formed after a about 15-20 minutes.

15
Do not for any reason attempt to increase the ring of your heater by altering the air control
adjustment range outlined in these directions.
Warning: Fireplace stoves must never be left unattended with the door open. The ashdoor
must be closed during the ring.
If the door is left partly open, gas and ame may be drawn out of the replace stove open-
ing, creating risks from both re and smoke. We recommend that you t a smoke detector
in the room where the stove is installed.
DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS HEATER. Overring may cause a house re, or can result in per-
manent damage to the stove. If any part of the stove glows, you are overring.
5. When ready to reload, use a poker to spread the ember
across the rebox oor, bringing plenty towards the front
of the stove.
6. Lay three pieces of wood onto the embers. Leave half
an inch (1 cm) or more between each piece.
7. Close the frontdoor. Leave the primary air supply fully
open.
8. After a few minutes, adjust the primary air supply to suit
your heating requirements.
9. For refueling, add a layer of wood while there are still
plenty of live embers, Repeat steps 5-8.

16
DK ENG
The maximum recommended weight of wood fuel per load is 2.5 kg/h/5.5Ibs (approx 3 split
logs).
Under normal ring, the average ue temperature in the stove pipe, measured 20 cm above
the stove, is approx. 300° C (550°F). The maximum ue temperature in the stove pipe must
not exceed 450° C (750°F). If the ue temperature exceeds 450°C (750°F), it is considered
as over ring and may cause premature wear and tear of the stove.
To help gauge the correct running temperature of your stove, we recommend you use the
Morsø Flue Gas Thermometer (part no. 62901200). The Flue Gas Thermometer magneti-
cally attaches onto the stove pipe approx 20 cm (8”) above the stove’s top plate and mea-
sures the surface temperature of the stove pipe. Please see your authorized Morsø Dealer
for availability.
Draft conditions
If smoke or fumes come out of your stove when lightning up and reloading, or if the re simply
will not respond, a poor draft is almost certainly to blame. (In a very few cases, there may be
insucient fresh air getting into the room - see installation advice above). Take advice from
your stove supplier on how best to upgrade your ue system to improve draft.
Rules of woodburning
If you want less heat, put fewer logs on the stove and reduce the amount of air. It is still impor-
tant to maintain a good layer of embers.
Less heat - less wood - less air
Greater heat - more wood - more air
Soot deposits will settle on the glass if the stove is run too slowly or if your wood is not
well seasoned.

17
3.0 Maintenance
When perfoming maintenance on your stove, always protect yourself, using safety gog-
gles and gloves
3.1 Exterior Maintenance
The stove surface is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm paint. It is best kept clean by
vacuuming with a soft brush attachment or by wiping with a lint-free cloth.
Over a period of time, the painted surface may become slightly grey. A can of Morsø touch-up
spray paint should be available from your stove supplier. This can be applied - in accordance with
the instructions - in just a few minutes. When rst ring after touching up, the stove will give o a
slight smell as the paint cures. Make sure to ventilate the room well during this phase.
3.2 Internal maintenance
Glass
If the stove is generally run at the correct temperatures, there should be little or no dirt on
the glass. If dirt does settle during lighting, most will burn o as temperatures increase.For
heavier deposits that will not burn o, use Morsø glass cleaner, applied when the glass is
cold, in accordance with the instructions. Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass surface.
Reasons for dirty glass
- Fuel too wet
- Logs too large or not split
- Combustion temperatures too low
Replace broken glass immediately.
Do not operate your stove if the glass in the door is damaged.
If you need to replace the glass, it should be replaced with the high temperature ceramic
class supplied by Morsø, contact your Morsø dealer.
Installing the glass
Never install the glass when the stove is in function.
Ceramic glass replacement
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled because it has a higher
melting point that ordinary glass. If ceramic glass is mixed
with ordinary glass, the raw material is spoiled, and the
reclaiming process may be halted. Take care that the ov-
enproof glass does not end up among ordinary recycled
waste. That will be a great benet to the environment.
Note: Should be handed in to a recycling station as ce-
ramic glass.

1. Lift the door o the hinges and place it face down on a sheet of cardboard or other non-
abrasive fabric.
2. Unscrew the 4 bolts that secure the glass. (In the event that a bolt sheers o when being
unscrewed, remove the remaining body of the bolt by drilling down its centre with 1/8
inch high speed steel drill bit. Smaller drill bits may be successful, but do not use a lager
bit. Make sure the bit stays away from the edges of the bolt - this may damage the thread
in the cast iron).
3. Remove the old ceramic gaskets and clean up the surface underneath with wire wool or
emery paper to remove loose particles.
4. Place the new gasket material in position around the perimeter of the window area, making
sure to pinch them to the length in such a way that they make a continuous seal. Leave no gaps.
5. Place the new glass in position on the strips and screw home the fresh bolts and tting
by hand.
6. Finally, give each of the bolts an extra half turn or so. The glass should held tight enough
by that cleaning will not dislodge it. Do not over-tighten the bolts as this may put exces-
sive pressure on the glass, resulting in cracking - important!
To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking the glass or slamming the door.
Internal service parts
The ame-path equipment - consisting of the ashpan, grate, rebricks, Cast iron re plates,
glass, bae and ue collar - are subject to the extremes of heat produced by the re. From
time to time, one or other of these parts may need replacing as a matter of routine main-
tenance.
Stone replacement
When replacing the stones, unscrew at the rear of the stove the heat reector, which is mounted with
4 screws. This provides access to the 2 bolts that hold the smoke bae in place. Remove these bolts
so that the smoke bae inside the stove can be raised. Raise the smoke bae so that the old stones
can be removed from the stove and the new ones can be installed. The side stones are placed in the
grooves in the vermiculite bottom plate. Once the stones have been properly put into place, lower the
smoke bae down onto the stones and re-bolt it securely to the cast rear of the stove.
Finally, reinstall the rear heat reector with its 4 screws.
NOTE: The ame-path equipment, the ceramic rope and the paint nish are not
covered by guarantee.
All of these service parts can be bought from your Morsø dealer, and we recommend that
damaged parts are replaced as soon as possible to avoid collateral damage.
Should the bae be distorted by an overre, the stove will still function, although its eciency
may be compromised. Replace it as soon as possible.
Reasons for fast internal wear and tear
- Persistent heavy ring
- Soot and ashes left to accumulate

19
Gasket
The gasket around the perimeter of the door may harden over a period of time. It should be
replaced if it becomes dicult to close the doors or if air starts to leak in around the perim-
eter of the doors, causing the re to become a little less controllable. A Morsø rope gasket
kit is available from your stove supplier.
3.3 Cleaning the Stove and the Flue
Check for soot above the bae plate and around the ue outlet every month or so to start
with. If the stove suddenly becomes sluggish, check for a soot fall around the ue collar or
in the ue/chimney.
The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re.
Clean the ue/chimney - all the way from the stove to the ue terminal point above the house.
A good routine is to clean the ue after each heating season in any case, and inspect prior
to the season to ensure that bird’s nests or other blockages have not occurred during the
o season.
Ash disposal
Empty the ashpan on a daily basis or as needed. Ash allowed to build up towards the under-
side of the grate will trap heat and could cause premature failure of the grate.
Empty the ashpan according to this procedure:
Open the front door, and use a shovel or poker to stir excess ash through the ash slots in
the grate down into the ash pan. Take out the ash pan, making sure to keep it level to avoid
spilling ash.
Dispose the ash in a metal container with a tight tting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible oor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally disperded, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Return the ash pan to its original position in the stove, and close the door.
Caution:
Never empty a stove in operation.
Never use your household or shop vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the stove; always
remove and dispose of the ash properly.
Creosote - formation and need for removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ue of a slow-
burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited this creosote
makes an extremely hot re. When burning wood, the chimney and chimney connector should be in-
spected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup
has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney re.

20
DK ENG
Chimney sweeping
Inspect the system regularly during the heating season as part of a regular maintenance sched-
ule. To inspect the chimney, let the stove cool completely. Then, using a mirror, sight up through
the ue collar into the chimney ue. If you cannot inspect the ue system in this fashion, the
stove must be disconnected to provide better viewing access.
Clean the chimney using a brush the same size and shape as the ue liner. Run the brush up
and down the liner, causing any deposits to fall to the bottom of the chimney where they
can be removed through the clean-out door.
Clean the chimney connector disconnecting the sections, taking them outside, and remov-
ing any deposits with a sti wire brush. Reinstall the connector sections after cleaning, be-
ing sure to secure the joints between individual sections with sheet metal screws.
If you cannot inspect or clean the chimney yourself, contact your local Morsø Dealer or a
professional chimney sweep.
If you do experience a chimney re, act promptly and:
1. Close the air control.
2. Get everyone out of the house.
3. Call the Fire Department.
Annual maintenance
Before the heating season, perform a thorough cleaning, inspection and repair:
Thoroughly clean the chimney and chimney connector.
Inspect the chimney for damage and deterioration. Replace weak sections of prefabricated
chimney. Have a mason make repairs to a masonry chimney.
Inspect the chimney connector and replace any damaged sections.
Check gasketing for wear or compression, and replace if necessary.
Check the glass for cracking; replace if needed.
Check door and handle for tightness. Adjust if needed.
3.4 Leaving the stove for extended periods
Important:
If the stove is to be left unused for any period of time, clean it out thoroughly and leave the
air control slightly open to allow airow. Make sure that the ue does not allow rainwater
to come anywhere near the stove; install a chimney cap, but do not block o the ue com-
pletely.
These measures should ensure there is a slight movement of air through the stove, and that
the body of the stove remains dry, right into the corners.
Any ash left within an unred stove can attract moisture like blotting paper. If moisture is al-
lowed to settle within the stove, rust will form. Rust expands as it takes a grip. This can lead
to undue pressure on the stove joints, and this in turn may result in damage to the stove.
NOTE: It is best to thoroughly clean the stove after the heating season has concluded. Add-
ing a dessicant, such as kitter litter, into the ash pan helps absorb moisture during the sum-
mer months. Be sure to remove this prior to the heating season.
