Instructions

The cross-sectional area of the chimney (at its narrowest point) must comply with National
and Local Building Regulations. Generally, the area needed for a Morsø wood-burning stove
installation should measure at least 175 cm2 (150 mm diameter).
An over-sized chimney is generally hard to keep warm and results in poor draft. In cases where
there is an oversized masonry chimney, it is recommended that the chimney be lined using an
appropriate chimney lining system with the correct internal diameter.
With respect to the chimney termination, all chimneys should terminate in accordance with
National and Local Building Regulations.
Note that National and Local Regulations also apply with regard to the placement of chim-
neys and ues in connection with thatched roofs. See the section on Draft Conditions, 1.9.
The chimney or ue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and clean-
ing. The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the cross-
sectional area of the chimney.
In the event that a chimney re occurs resulting from faulty operation or prolonged use
of damp wood fuel, close the air vents completely and contact your local re department
immediately.
1.6 Fluepipe connections
The stove is supplied with a factory tted ue collar (1), this is tted to the top plate and a
round cast iron blanking plate tted in the cast iron back panel behind the rear heat shield.
When required, the ue collar can be removed and relocated to the rear ue outlet. To do
this, simply knock out the round panel cut into the rear shield to reveal the cast iron blanking
plate situated behind. Untwist the blanking plate anticlockwise and remove. The ue collar
can now be clamped into position using the xing lugs attached.
The blanking plate should then be positioned onto the top ue outlet and secured into place
by pressing downwards and twisting clockwise. The blanking plate can also function as an ex-
tra clean-out access whilst perform-
ing the annual cleaning service of the
stove and chimney.
How to position the bae plates
The upper bae (3) made of vermicu-
lite are tted in the stove on delivery.
The 2 cast iron baes (1) are positioned
correctly above 2 stainless steel pipes
that provide the secondary air supply to
the combustion (see drawing).
The Insulation blanket (2) is carefully po-
sitioned above the 2 cast iron baes.
Be sure that the baes are positioned
correctly and that the insulation blan-
ket covers all of the bae before light-
ing the stove.
