If your Morsø stove is not installed correctly, it may cause a house fire. To reduce the risk
of fire, the installation instructions must be followed carefully. Contact the local building
officials about restrictions and installation inspection in your area.
Before you start installing your stove, make sure that:
- The stove and chimney connection are placed far enough from combustible materials to
meet all clearance requirements.
- The floor protection must be adequate and must be made correctly according to the re-
quirements.
All neccessary approvals are needed from the local building officials.
The data plate, which is located on the back of the stove, provides information regarding safety
testing information, name of certified testing laboratory, and installation requirements.
Installation requirements vary in different districts, and the local building officials have the final
authorization to approve your installation. You should discuss the installation with them before
beginning. Please ask your dealer for further information.
Do not connect to any air distribution duct or system.
Important: If the installation instructions are not followed carefully, it may cause dan-
gerous situations like chimney - and house fires. Follow the instructions carefully and
do not deviate from them as it may cause injuries to people or property.
1.1 Checking loose parts in the stove
After unpacking, check that the fire bricks are firmly in position and have not shifted in transit.
Check also that the air control works freely.
See separate Assembly Instructions for Legs, Fitting for handle, and Baffles Before starting
the initial fire, place the two cast iron baffles above the three stainless pipes that supplies
the secondary air. The baffles are enclosed in the stove on delivery. Afterwards, place the
carbowool blanket carefully above the two cast iron baffles.
Make sure that the upper heating shield, the cast iron baffles, and the carbowool blanket are
placed correctly before the fire is started.
Standard Accessories
A Morsø glove and ceramic flue connection gasket are standard accessories that usually can
be found in the ashpan or firebox area.

1.2 The chimney / flue system
Note that the flue system must be independently secured and must not rely on the stove
for support.
The stove must not be connected to a chimney flue serving any other appliance.
(Several flues may run up a single chimney stack; use one flueway per appliance).
Use a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner or listed type HT factory-built
chimney.
High Temperature (H.T.) Chimney Standard UL-103-1985 (2100º F.) or a code-approved
masonry chimney with flue liner for the USA, and High Temperature (650ºC) Standard
ULC S-629 for Canada.
The internal dimensions of the chimney connector and chimney must not be less than 6 inches
diameter (or equivalent cross section), and should not be significantly larger than this. Too large
a section will tend to allow the flue gases to cool excessively, causing sluggishness or unpredict-
ability in the stove's performance.
We recommend the length of the chimney system should be at least 16 feet (not required)
above the stove in normal domestic situations, measured from the flue collar to the top of
the chimney.
Local conditions like for example - roof constructions, large trees nearby and high altitude,
may influence the chimney draft and height. Therefore, contact the local professional chim-
ney sweep or your Morsø dealer.
