1.0 INSTALLING YOUR MORSØ STOvE
1.1 Unpacking the stove
First remove the outer carton and lay flat next to the stove; this can act as a protective working
surface during the assembly procedure.
For shipping purposes, the stove is bolted to the wooded pallet; it should be released from the
pallet by removing the bolts from the underside.
Remove the cast iron baffle plates, leg package and bottom grate from inside the stove and
set aside.
Gently lay the stove onto its back; the stove weighs 40 kg and therefore any lifting or moving
of the stove should be performed by people.
Using the 4 bolts and washers placed inside the stove, attached the legs to the underside of
the base plate. DO NOT USE THE CARRIAGE BOLTS AND WASHERS.
The stove is intended for intermittent use.
1.2 Installing the stove
The stove and chimney installations MUST comply to
all current National and Local Building Regulations;
your approved Morsø dealer or your local building
control officer can advise regarding this. Ultimately,
it is you and your installer who is responsible that the
installation complies.
1.3 Chimney Sweeping
It may also be wise to consult your local chimney sweep before installing the stove. After your
stove has been installed, it is advisable to have the chimney checked and swept at least once
a year. In any case, if your chimney has not been used for some time, it should be inspected for
cracking, bird nests, etc. before it is put back into use.
1.4 Stove placement/clearance requirements
Minimum Clearance requirements apply if the stove is placed near to combustible materials.
Permitted clearances to combustible materials are also indicated on the data plate on the rear
of the stove.
In situations where the stove is to be fitted into a brick or non-combustible recess, we recommend
that the stove is installed with at least 0 cm clearance to the wall, this will allow heat to circulate
around the stove; also the maintenance of the outside stove is easier. When applied to masonry,
a layer of wallpaper is normally classified as a non-combustible surface.
