The stoves handle also gets hot when the stove is lit, which is why a safety glove is in-
cluded with the stove.

1.5 The chimney

Only if National or Local Regulations permit are you permitted to connect a stove into a chim-
ney that is shared by another appliance. YOU MUST be aware of any applicable Regulations
in this respect.
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. Generally, the area needed for a Morsø wood-burning stove installa-
tion 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 Regula-
tions also apply with regard to the placement of chimneys and flues in connection with thatched
roofs. See the section on Draft Conditions, 1.9.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped
with access doors for inspection and cleaning.

The size of the cleaning door in the chimney
must at least equal to that of the cross-sec-
tional area of the chimney.
1.6 Fluepipe connections
If the stove is being installed with the flue pipe
to the rear, the iron piece on the rear convection
back plate is knocked out with light, firm ham-
mer taps next to the small "bridges" connecting
the piece. The flue collar (1) is dismounted, and
the cast-iron cover is unscrewed from the back
panel and remounted on the top panel. The flue
collar is then centered in the hole in the back of
the stove and fastened with the plate clamps
included.
Note:
Verify that the baffle plate (2), the firebricks, and
the riddling grate are positioned correctly.
