Morso 6800 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual page 23

Distance requirements for flue pipe
If using un-insulated flue pipe in a combustible environment then the distance
between combustibles and the flue pipe must be 3 times the diameter of the pipe but never
less than 375 mm.
For other CE approved smoke pipes (insulated) the distance requirement will be indicated
on the pipe.
Distance requirements for the complete installation (stove and flue pipe)
Longest distances, regardless of whether it is from the flue pipe or from the stove must be
observed.
We recommend that the stove be installed at least 10-15 cm from masonry in order to allow
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 regarded as non-flammable material.
The floor
If the stove is installed on a flammable floor, national and local regulations must be observed
with regard to the size of the non-flammable underlying surface that must cover the floor be-
neath the stove.
The underlying surface must naturally be able to bear the weight of the stove and, if ap-
plicable, the steel chimney.
Distance to furniture
We recommend that the stove be installed 900 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 900 mm.
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-burn-
ing stove is already connected.
An efficient, modern stove places great demands on the chimney, so have a chimney sweep
check the condition of your chimney.
The aperture of the chimney must comply with national and local regulations. In general,
the aperture area should measure at least 175 cm2 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. 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.
