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.
Page 5: The Chimney / Flue System
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.
Page 6: Flue Connection
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.
Page 8: Positioning The Stove
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.

CAUTION: THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED (I.E., DO NOT CUT THROUGH FLOOR JOIST, WALL STUD, CEILING TRUSS, ETC.) DO NOT USE A GRATE TO ELEVATE FIRE - BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON HEARTH. Note: Acid Protection If acid-washing the masonry around the stove, protect the stove surface with an acid-proof...
Page 12: Lighting And Loading Intervals
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 12 inches (30 cm) and approx.
Page 13 Step-by-step procedure 1. The air supply must be fully open. 2. For lighting the fire use 2-4 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.
Page 14 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.
Page 15 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.
Page 16: Maintenance
Rules of woodburning If you want less heat, put fewer logs on the stove and reduce the amount of air. It is still important 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.
Page 17 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 ovenproof glass does not end up among ordinary recycled waste.
Page 18: Cleaning The Stove And The Flue
NOTE: The flame-path equipment, the ceramic rope and the paint finish are not covered 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 baffle be distorted by an overfire, the stove will still function, although its efficiency may be compromised.
Page 19 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.
Page 20 1. The bottom baffle is lifted up a bit and held in that position. Loosen the side bricks. 2. Tip the side bricks and remove them from the fire chamber. 3. Tip the other side brick and remove it from the fire chamber.

5. The upper baffle is removed from the brackets and lifted out of the firechamber. 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 airflow.
