Instructions for Installation and Use 1400 UK/EN 13240 (76% efficiency) Distributed by: Morsø UK Valley Drive · Swift Valley · Rugby, Warks CV21 1TW · England www.morsoe.com...
Enjoy your new Morsø stove! Morsø, the largest stove manufacturer in Denmark, has been making cast-iron stoves of the highest qual- ity since 1853. By carefully following the instructions below, we are certain that you will enjoy many years of comfortable warm from your new Morsø...
1.0 Installing your Morsø stove 1.1 Unpacking the stove 1410: After removing the outer packaging, flatten it and lay onto the floor close to the stove; this can then act as protective work surface during the assembly process. Next, remove the legs from inside the stove. Carefully lift the stove from the wooden pallet and gently lay the stove onto its back and unscrew the heat shield from the underside of the stove.
The wood-burning stove must never been connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning stove or appliance is connected. An efficient modern stove places heavy demands on the chimney, and you should have the chimney regularly swept and inspected by your approved chimney sweep. The cross-sectional area of the chimney (at its narrowest point) must comply with National and Local Building Regulations.
1.7 Connecting the stove to a masonry chimney A wall sleeve should be bricked securely into the wall of the chimney at the appropriate height and the stovepipe inserted centrally. The pipe must not extend into the actual chimney open- ing, but rather must reach only to the inside of the chimney aperture.
1.9 Draft conditions If smoke spillage occurs when the fire door is opened, it is probably due to poor chimney draft. This type of stove requires at least 12 pa of chimney draft to achieve satisfactory combustion and smoke spillage prevention. However, in cases where the stove door is opened too vigor- ously you could expect that slight smoke spillage may occur.
2.0 Firing the stove/Using your stove The heat output of your stove is regulated by means of the air inlets. The primary air sup- ply, i.e. the air which passes through the shaking grate, is controlled by the bottom draft vent, while the secondary air supply, i.e.
3. After the paper/fire lighters have caught fire, leave the fire door ajar about 2-3 cm, so that the chimney draws well. The ash door on the 1400 series must remain closed during normal use and only opened when removing the ash pan.

5. Refuelling of your stove should be done while there are still glow- ing embers in the bed. Spread the embers across the bottom, but concentrated mostly towards the front of the stove. 6. Place three pieces of fuel weighing roughly 0.6 kg and measuring about 25 cm in length across the coals in one layer, with spacing of roughly 1 cm between the pieces of wood.

The stove door should normally be opened gently the first 2 - 3 centimetres, then you should wait until the pressure has equalised before opening the door all the way. This technique will prevent smoke from getting out, particularly when there is a poor draught. The stove door should never be opened when the stove is being fired vigorously.
3.0 Routine stove maintenance 3.1 External maintenance The surface of the stove is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm paint. If the stove is used too vigorously, the painted surface may take-on a greyish tinge. It is easily maintained by sim- ply vacuuming the surface with a soft brush attachment and applying two light layers of paint. Morsø...
Reasons for premature wear of internal parts • Stove being used/fired too vigorously • Too much air passing through the bottom grate • Use of excessively dry wood (wood from old furniture) • Excessive debris collection on baffle plate or inner fireback (see section on cleaning) • Ash level too high in the ash pan (see section on ash Firebricks It should be expected that at sometime the Chamote firebricks will show some signs of crack- ing in its surface; however this is regarding as natural and will not alter the overall function. Gaskets The rope gaskets in the door will need regular inspection in order to ensure and maintain full control of your stove’s burning rate;...
4.0 Alternative fuel types Your new Morsø stove is EN-approved for burning wood. However, the stove is capable of burning other solid fuels as manufactured smokeless coal or good quality anthracite (stove nuts). If you fire your stove with any fuel other than wood, it may help to use coal insert/fuel economisers, which simply fit into the left and right sides of the firebox.
5.0 HETAS amendments Health and safety precautions Special care must be taken when installing the stove such that the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act are met. Handling Adequate facilities must be available for loading, unloading and site handling. Fire Cement Some types of fire cement are caustic and should not be allowed to come into contact with the skin.

sary to line the chimney then a flue liner suitable for solid fuel must be used in accordance with Building Regulations Approved Document J. Any existing chimney must be clear of obstruction and have been swept clean immediately be- fore installation of the stove. If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.

a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room. b) Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. c) Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required. Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identified and corrected.
