The Chimney - Morso 3610 Instructions And Operating Instructions

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. The hearth temperature under
safety test was less than 55°C.
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 1000 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 1000
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.
The stove must never be connected to a chimney that is shared with another appliance.
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 175 cm (150 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 appropriately 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 Draught Conditions, 1.9.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and cleaning
doors. The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal that of the cross-sec-
tional area of the chimney.
