The Chimney - Morso 2040 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

In situations where the stove is to be fitted into a brick or non-combustible recess, we recom-
mend that the stove is installed with at least 00 cm clearance to the side of the stove and
50 mm clearance behind the stove. 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.
On the floor
National and Local Building Regulations must again be observed when considering the type,
thickness and area of the hearth to be used in the installation.
One should of course always make certain that the underlying floor surface can bear the
weight of the stove.
Distance to furniture and soft furnishings
We recommend that the stove be installed 00 mm from furniture. Serious consideration
should also be given to positioning of any furniture that could be adversely affected by heat.
The clearances to combustible materials in front of the stove should be a minimum of 00
mm. When lit, a wood-burning stove gets hot and therefore adequate protect must be pro-
vided, particularly in situations where there is a safety risk to children or the infirm. A suitable
safety guard around the stove should be considered.
The stoves handle also gets hot when the stove is lit, which is why a safety glove is included
with the stove.

1.5 the chimney

Only if National or Local Regulations permit are you permitted to connect a stove into a chim-
ney that is shared by another appliance. YOU MUST be aware of any applicable Regulations
in this respect.
The wood-burning stove must never been connected to a chimney to which a gas-burning
stove or appliance is connected.
An efficient modern stove places heavy demands on the chimney, and you should have the
chimney regularly swept and inspected by your approved chimney sweep.
The cross-sectional area of the chimney (at its narrowest point) must comply with National
and Local Building Regulations. Generally, the area needed for a Morsø wood-burning stove
installation should measure at least 75 cm (50 mm diameter).
An over-sized chimney is generally hard to keep warm and results in poor draft. In cases
where there is an oversized masonry chimney, it is recommended that the chimney be lined
using an appropriate chimney lining system with the correct internal diameter.
With respect to the chimney termination, all chimneys should terminate in accordance with
National and Local Building Regulations.
Note that National and Local Regulations also apply with regard to the placement of chim-
neys and flues in connection with thatched roofs. See the section on Draft Conditions, .9.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and cleaning.
The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the cross-sectional
area of the chimney.
