1.6 Mobile Home Installation
(Mobile home installation is only applicable for USA)
The Morsø 6100 can be installed in a mobile home if equipped with an outside combustion air
kit, a terminal cap with a spark arrestor, and if it meets the following installation requirements:
- The stove must be secured to the mobile home structure by bolting through the hearth pad
and into flooring.
- The stove must be installed with a listed Type HT
chimney connector, HT Chimney, and terminal cap with
spark arrestor. Never use a single wall connector
(stovepipe) in a mobile home installation.
- Floor protection requirements in section 1.5 must be followed precisely.
- In Canada, this appliance must be connected to a 6” (152 mm) factory-built chimney conform-
ing to CAN/ULC-629M, STANDARD FOR FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEYS. Floor protection as
referenced in section 1.5 must be followed, as well as use of Canadian Floor Protector.
- Follow the chimney and chimney connector manufacturer’s instructions when installing
the flue system for use in a mobile home.
- Outside air kit should be installed according to installation guide in the kit.
- Intake air piping can be installed through the floor into a vented crawl space or through
the wall of the residence to obtain outside air.
- Install in accordance with 24 CFR, Part 3280 (HUD).
- NOTE: Top sections of chimney must be removable to allow maximum clearance of 13.5’
from ground level for transportation purposes.
2.0 Operation
2.1 Before you start firing
For use with solid wood fuel only. Do not overfire, if heater or chimney connector glows
you are overfiring. Inspect and clean chimney frequently. Under certain conditions of use
creosote buildup may occur rapidly. Because of risk of smoke and flame spillage, operate
only with door fully closed.
CAUTION:
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing and furniture away. Contact may cause
skin burns.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS
DO NOT USE A GRATE, ANDIRONS, OR OTHER WAYS OF ELEVATING THE FIRE - BUILD
FIRE DIRECTLY ON HEARTH.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHT-
ER OR FLUID OR SIMILAR LIQUIDS TO START OR FRESHEN UP A FIRE IN THIS HEATER. KEEP
ALL SUCH LIQUIDS AWAY FROM THE HEATER WHILE IT IS IN USE
Choosing your fuel
All types of natural wood can be burned on your stove, but they must be well-seasoned and
dry. Once the wood is cut to length, it should be split down middle - to suit the dimensions
given below - to allow moisture to evaporate.Cut the wood to a length of max 12 inches (30
cm) and approx. 3 to 3.5 inches (7-8 cm) in section. If you can weigh your wood, aim for around
2 lbs. For correct combustion and heat output, wood fuel should contain no more than 20%
moisture; this can easily be checked by using the Morsø Moisture Meter (part # 62929900).
To naturally season wood fuel, stack and store it under cover in an airy location where fresh air
can move through each piece. Some soft woods may take as little as one good summer to sea-
son whereas harder woods such as oak, maple, and elm may require seasoning up to 18 months.
Avoid overly dry wood that is gray in color as under certain conditions it can cause performance
problems, such as back-puffing and sluggishness. Well seasoned wood will be light to hold and
will show signs of cracking from the center-out in the ends. If your wood spits or sizzles when
b urnt, and your stove’s door glass persistently mists up, your wood is not properly seasoned.
Never use drift wood (from the sea), whose salt content may cause corrosion, nor construction
wood that may have been impregnated with chemicals.
To optimize efficiency:
Burning wet wood has a negative impact on efficiency
CAUTION Do not place fuel within the installation clearances for the stove or within the
space required for loading fuel and ash removal.
Starting the First Fire
The initial fire should be small, so that the stove paint can cure and the main plates of the
stove can settle into position. Some fumes will be given off by the paint. Ventilate the room
during this phase.
The setting of the air control, lighting techniques and loading intervals will depend on chim-
ney draft, the fuel used, the heat required and so on. Some basic techniques are outlined
below.
WARNING:
NEVER DRAW COMBUSTION AIR FROM A
WALL, FLOOR OR CEILING CAVITY OR FROM ANY ENCLOSED SPACE SUCH AS AN AT-
TIC OR GARAGE.
DO NOT INSTALL IN A SLEEPING ROOM.
CAUTION:
THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE
MOBILE HOME FLOOR, WALL, AND
CEILING/ROOF MUST BE MAINTAINED (I.E., DO NOT CUT THROUGH FLOOR JOIST, WALL
STUD, CEILING TRUSS, ETC.)
DO NOT USE A GRATE TO ELEVATE FIRE -
BUILD FIRE DIRECTLY ON HEARTH.
Note:
Acid Protection
If acid-washing the masonry around the stove, protect
the stove surface with an acid-proof cover.
Fresh Air Inlet
Unless there is deemed to be sufficient ambient
leakage of air into the room via doorways, windows
and the like, a dedicated fresh air inlet will be needed. This
inlet should have 2 square inches (1250 square mm) of free
air space. This is particularly important where the room
is well sealed, or where an extractor hood or ventilation
system disturbs the natural air pressure. Such an
inlet should not be on a wall that is usually subject to nega-
tive pressure from normal wind pattern. Avoid placing the
inlet directly across the room from the stove, thus causing
a cold air draft.
