1.0 Installing your Morsø stove
1.1 Unpacking the stove
We recommend that two persons perform this task since the stove is too heavy to handle
single-handedly. MORSØ S80-90 weighs approximately 120 kg.
The stove is suited for intermittent use.
1.2 Installing the stove
National and local regulations regarding the installation of wood-burning stoves must be ob-
served, as must local regulations regarding chimney connections and chimney installation. You
may want to ask your chimney sweep for advice. However, you, your technical adviser or work-
man are responsible for complying with the applicable national and local regulations.
1.3 Chimney sweep
As stated, it may be wise to consult your local chimney sweep before installing the stove. In
any event, the chimney sweep must be notified once the wood-burning stove has been in-
stalled. The chimney sweep will inspect the installation and schedule sweeping intervals with
you. If your chimney has not been used for some time, it should be inspected for cracks, bird
nests, etc., before it is used.
1.4 location of the stove/distance requirements
The requirements to the placement of the stove and the separation requirements depend
on the environment in which the stove is placed:
A. Built into masonry or an existing fireplace opening
B. Custom-built fireplace structure in flammable surroundings
A. Built into masonry or an existing fireplace opening
The insert is primarily designed to be built into masonry or an existing fireplace opening.
The adjacent materials must be nonflammable.
A layer of wallpaper is normally considered nonflammable when applied to masonry.
A nonflammable floor protection must cover the floor at least 300 mm to the front of the
firing door and at least 150 mm to each side of the firing opening.
Please note that the floor must be capable of supporting the installation.
There are only spacing requirements when the stove is placed next to flammable materials.
The spacing requirements are the following:
Distance to furniture
1000 mm.
* Right-angled distance to flammable sidewall
400 mm.
** Height over flammable floor
300 mm.
