Chimney Sweep; The Chimney - Morso 8800 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

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).

1.6 Connecting the flue pipe
Lift the upper cast iron top plate off the stove.
Note: the round cast iron cover plate in the top plate must remain mounted if the stove is
being installed with the flue pipe to the rear, but unscrewed from the upper top plate if the
flue pipe is being installed pointing upwards.
Mounting the flue collar pointing upwards
From the factory, the stove is prepared for installation with the included flue collar (1)
pointing 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 178 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 by turning it anticlockwise and
mounted on the inside top plate by pressing it down and turning it clockwise. The lid can
act as a cleaning cover, and facilitate access for the annual cleaning of the stove. The flue
collar is centred and screwed onto the back of the stove with the clamps and screws provi-
ded. The ball stop is not used when installing 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 cor-
rectly assembled before lighting the
stove (please see the sketch.)
Optional fresh air connection
The stove is factory prepared for in-
stallation of an optional fresh air con-
nection independent of the room in
which the stove is installed. The box
for this fresh air connection, which can
be purchased separately, enables a
ø100mm pipe to be connected either to
the rear or below.
