Morso 6870 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual page 23

1.6 Connecting the flue pipe
Lift the upper cast iron top plate off the stove.
Note: The included round cast iron cover plate must be mounted on the upper cast iron top
plate if the stove is being installed with the flue pipe to the rear.
Mounting the flue collar pointing upwards
From the factory, the stove is prepared for installation with the included flue collar (1) point-
ing upwards with included ball stop and screws. The ball stop, which prevents the chimney
sweep from damaging the stove's baffle plates while sweeping, is the 145 mm long rod that
is provided.
Mounting the flue collar to the rear
If the stove is being installed with the flue pipe to
the rear, the round plate fixed with two screws
on the back of the stove is dismounted. The iron
piece on the inside convection back panel is
knocked out with light, firm taps with a hammer
next to the small "bridges" holding the piece.
The cast iron cover is removed from the back
panel and mounted on the top plate. The flue
collar is centred and screwed onto the back
of the stove with the clamps and screws pro-
vided. The ball stop is not used when install-
ing the flue collar to the rear.
The location of the baffles
The baffles (2) and (3), which are made from
vermiculite, are mounted at the factory.
Make sure that the baffles are correctly assem-
bled before lighting the stove (please see the
sketch).
Installing the stove
The wall-mounting frame has four holes for
mounting expansion bolts into the wall.
The bolts must be adequately sized and you must ensure that the wall is capable of support-
ing the stove. The weight of the empty stove is 105 kg (232 lbs). It is therefore the responsibil-
ity of the installation contractor/customer to make sure that the wall/chimney can support
the stove securely. We point out that element block chimneys and semi-brick chimneys with-
out a lining do not always have the necessary carrying capacity. If in doubt, you should contact
a professional craftsman. The wall mounting frame may be used as a template for drilling.
Note: Plastic rawlplugs must not used due to the heat produced by the stove.
Mount the wall-mounting fixture on the wall. If the flue exit is wanted to the rear, build a wall
bushing correctly into the wall (see illustration).
Lift the wood stove in place so that it rests on the bottom part of the wall-mounting fixture,
and secure it again to the fixture by means of the screws included.
