We recommend that the stove be installed at least 10-15 cm from masonry in order to allow
heat to circulate and to facilitate the cleaning of the inside and outside of the stove. A layer of
wallpaper on a brick wall is normally regarded as non-flammable material.
The floor
If the stove is installed on a flammable floor, national and local regulations must be observed
with regard to the size of the non-flammable underlying surface that must cover the floor
beneath the stove.
The underlying surface must naturally be able to bear the weight of the stove and, if applica-
ble, the steel chimney.
Distance to furniture
We recommend that the stove be installed 900 mm from furniture, but consideration should
also be given to whether furniture, etc., will dry out as a result of its proximity to the stove.
The distance to flammable material in front of the stove is 900 mm.
A wood-burning stove gets hot when it is fired. Caution must therefore be observed,
particularly with regard to children touching the stove.
1.5 The chimney
If local regulations permit, the stove may be connected to a chimney already serving anoth-
er fireplace (such as an oil-burning stove or another wood-burning stove). Attention should
be paid to any requirements concerning the location of flue pipes if two or more fireplaces are
connected to the same chimney.
The wood-burning stove must never be connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning stove is
already connected. An efficient, modern stove places great demands on the chimney, so have a
chimney sweep check the condition of your chimney.
The aperture of the chimney must comply with national and local regulations. In general, the
aperture area should measure at least 175 cm2for wood-burning stoves.
An overly large chimney aperture will mean that too much energy will be required to heat the
chimney sufficiently to achieve an acceptable draught. If you have a brick chimney with a large
aperture, we recommend that you install an insulating chimney liner of the proper diameter.
This will increase the draught, and improve the fuel economy.
There are no requirements with respect to specific chimney heights, but a chimney must be
tall enough to provide a good draught, and to ensure that the smoke does not cause any prob-
lems. As a general rule, there will be a satisfactory draught if the chimney extends 4 metres
above the stove and at least 80 cm above the spine of the roof. If the chimney is located along
the side of the house, the top of the chimney should never be lower than the spine of the roof
or the highest point on the roof. Please note that there are often national and local regula-
tions regulating the location of chimneys in houses with thatched roofs. Please see section 1.9
Draught.
The chimney and the flue pipe must be fitted with cleaning doors, which must be at least the
same size as the chimney’s aperture area.
The chimney must be accessible for external inspection, and it must be possible to access the
cleaning doors and the chimney if it is to be cleaned from the top (e.g. steel chimneys).
1.6 Connecting the flue pipe
Lift the upper cast iron top plate off the stove.
Note: the round cast iron cover plate in the top plate must remain mounted if the stove is being
installed with the flue pipe to the rear, but unscrewed from the upper top plate if the flue pipe
is being installed pointing upwards.
Mounting the flue collar pointing upwards
From the factory, the stove is prepared for installation with the included flue collar (1) pointing
upwards with included ball stop and screws. The ball stop, which prevents the chimney sweep
from damaging the stove’s baffle plates while sweeping, is the 145 mm long rod that is provi-
ded.
Mounting the flue collar to the rear
If the stove is being installed with the
flue pipe to the rear, the round plate
fixed with two screws on the back of
the stove is dismounted. The iron pie-
ce on the inside convection back pa-
nel is knocked out with light, firm
taps with a hammer next to the small
”bridges” holding the piece.
The cast iron cover is removed from
the back panel and mounted on the
top plate. The flue collar is centred
and screwed onto the back of the st-
ove with the clamps and screws pro-
vided. The ball stop is not used when
installing the flue collar to the rear.
The location of the baffles
The baffles (2) and (3), which are
made from vermiculite, are mounted
at the factory.
Make sure that the baffles are cor-
rectly assembled before lighting the
stove (please see the sketch).
1.7 Connecting to a brick chimney
Brick a flue bushing securely into the wall, and insert the flue pipe into it. The pipe must not
extend into the actual chimney opening, but only to the inside of the chimney aperture. The
joints between the stove/pipe and pipe/wall bushing must be sealed with the glass tape provid-
ed. It is not normally necessary to seal between any pipe joints.
If the flue pipe transitions from horizontal to vertical, it is a good idea to install it with a gentle
bend so as to avoid any loss of draught.
The flue pipe must be dimensioned in accordance with national and local regulations. Morsø
recommends, however, that flue pipes be made of 2 mm sheet steel as this will extend the
service life.
