1.0 Installing your Morsø stove

1.1 Unpacking the stove

The Morsø 8710 stoves weigh 125 kg. In order to avoid damage when unpacking and as-
sembling the stove, we recommend that this job be undertaken by 2 people. Remove the
top cover, which is lying loose, before lifting the combustion chamber off the wooden pal-
let. Place the stove carefully in position, centrally on the base plate.

1.2 Installing the stove

National and local regulations regarding the installation of wood-burning stoves must be
observed, as must local regulations regarding chimney connections and chimney installa-
tion. You may want to ask your chimney sweep for advice. However, it is you, your technical
adviser or workman, who is responsible for compliance with the applicable national and
local regulations.

1.3 Chimney sweep

As stated, it may be wise to consult your local chimney sweep before installing the stove.
In any event, the chimney sweep must be notified once the wood-burning stove has been
installed. The chimney sweep will inspect the installation, and reach an agreement with you
regarding sweeping intervals. If your chimney has not been used for some time, it should
be inspected for cracks, bird nests, etc., before it is used.

1.4 Location of the stove/distance requirements

Distance requirements apply only if the stove is placed near flammable materials. Your new
stove can be positioned as specified on the authorisation sign on the back of the stove if
the walls are made of flammable material.
Minimum distances from flammable material:
Type of stove Behind the stove (A)
Morsø 8710
uninsulated flue pipe 150 mm
B
22
To the sides of the stove (B) To furniture
500 mm 1100 mm
A
We recommend that the stove be installed at least 10 - 15 cm from masonry, in order to al-
low heat to circulate and to facilitate the cleaning of the inside and outside of the stove. A
layer of wallpaper on a brick wall is normally viewed as non-flammable material.
The floor
If the stove is installed on a flammable floor, national and local regulations must be ob-
served with regard to the size of the non-flammable underlying surface that must cover
the floor beneath the stove. The underlying surface must naturally be able to bear the
weight of the stove and, if applicable, the steel chimney.
Distance to furniture
We recommend that the stove be installed 1100 mm from furniture, but consideration should
also be given to whether furniture, etc., will dry out as a result of its proximity to the stove.
The distance to flammable material in front of the stove is 1100 mm. The same distance
should be observed to the sides for stoves mounted on rotatable bases.
A wood-burning stove gets hot when it is fired. Caution must therefore be observed, par-
ticularly with regard to children touching the stove.

1.5 The chimney

If local regulations permit, the stove may be connected to a chimney already serving anoth-
er fireplace (such as an oil-burning stove or another wood-burning stove). Attention should
be paid to any requirements concerning the location of flue pipes if two or more fireplaces
are connected to the same chimney.
The wood-burning stove must never be connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning
stove is already connected.
An efficient, modern stove places great demands on the chimney, so you should get the
chimney sweep to evaluate chimney.
The aperture of the chimney must comply with national and local regulations. In general, the
aperture area should measure at least 175 cm2 (150 mm diameter) for wood-burning stoves.
An overly large chimney aperture will mean that too much energy will be required to heat
the chimney sufficiently to achieve an acceptable draught in the chimney. If you have a
brick chimney with a large aperture, we recommend that you install an insulating chimney
liner of the proper diameter. This will increase the draught, and improve the fuel economy.
There are no requirements with respect to specific chimney heights, but a chimney must
be tall enough to provide a good draught, and to ensure that the smoke does not cause
any problems. As a general rule, there will be a satisfactory draught if the chimney extends
4 metres above the stove and at least 80 cm above the spine of the roof. If the chimney is
located along the side of the house, the top of the chimney should never be lower than the
spine of the roof or the highest point on the roof. Please note that there are often national
and local regulations concerning the location of chimneys in houses with thatched roofs.
Please see section 1.9 on Draught.
The chimney and the flue pipe must be fitted with cleaning doors, which must be at least
the same size as the chimney's aperture area.
The chimney must be accessible for external inspection, and it must be possible to access
the cleaning doors and the chimney if it is to be cleaned from the top (e.g. steel chimneys).
