1.0 Installation of your Morsø stove Installation of woodburning stoves must be safe and legal. If your Morsø stove is not installed correctly, it may cause a house fire. To reduce the risk of fire, the installation instructions must be followed carefully. Contact the local building officials about restrictions and installation inspection in your area.
1.2 The chimney / flue system Note that the flue system must be independently secured and must not rely on the stove for support. The stove must not be connected to a chimney flue serving any other appliance. (Several flues may run up a single chimney stack; use one flueway per appliance). Use a residential type masonry or listed type HT factory-built chimney.
1.3 Flue Connection The stove is supplied from the factory with a round blanking plate blocking off the top and rear flue exit (behind the rear shield plate). A flue collar are placed in the firebox area. Use a 24 MSG black or blue chimney connector or listed double wall chimney connector. Refer to local codes and the chimney manufacturer’s instructions for precautions required for passing a chimney through a combustible wall or ceiling.
1.5 Positioning the stove Distance to walls and lintel When the stove is positioned near combustible materials, observe all current local and national 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 (fireplace installations require greater clearances above the stove - see below in the clearance chart).

Distance to furniture The recommended minimum distance from stove to furniture is 30 inches. Note that some furniture is more easily affected 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 drying clothes, newspapers, firewood etc.
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 sufficient 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.
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 - t o s u i t t h e d i m e n s i o n s g i v e n b e l o w - t o a l l o w m o i s t u re t o e v a p o r a t e . Cut the wood to a length of max 12 inches (30 cm) and approx.

Step-by-step procedure 1. The air supply must be fully open. 2. For lighting the fire use 2-3 pounds of dry kindling wood. 3. Light the fire. An ember bed will quickly be formed by lighting with firestarters, Morsø kindling bags or 7-10 pieces of twisted paper under the dry kindling wood.

5. When the chimney is warm after about 5-10 minutes, the door should be closed. A suitable layer of ember will be formed after about 15-20 minutes. 6. When ready to reload, use a poker to spread the embers across the firebox floor, bringing plenty towards the front of the stove.

10. For refueling, add a layer of wood while there are still plenty of live embers, repeat steps 6-9. Do not for any reason attempt to increase the firing 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.
3.0 MAINTENANCE When perfoming maintenance on your stove, always protect yourself, using safety goggles 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.

1. When you open the door, you will find two hinge pins, one in each hinge. Remove the two hinge pins, lift the door off the hinges and place it face down on a sheet of cardboard or other nonabrasive fabric. 2.
Gasket The gasket around the perimeter of the door may harden over a period of time. It should be replaced if it becomes difficult to close the doors or if air starts to leak in around the perimeter of the doors, causing the fire to become a little less controllable. A morsø rope gasket kit is available from your stove supplier.

Chimney sweeping Inspect the system regularly during the heating season as part of a regular maintenance schedule. To inspect the chimney, let the stove cool completely. Then, using a mirror, sight up through the flue collar into the chimney flue. If you cannot inspect the flue system in this fashion, the stove must be disconnected to provide better viewing access.
