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-burn-
ing 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 installa-
tion should measure at least 175 cm2 (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 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 Regula-
tions also apply with regard to the placement of chimneys and flues in connection with thatched
roofs. See the section on Draft Conditions, 1.9.
The chimney or flue system must be equipped with access doors for inspection and clean-
ing. The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the cross-
sectional area of the chimney.
1.6 Fluepipe connections
Your stove is supplied prepared for a top flue connection (3) and the rear flue outlet is fitted
with a cover plate and is situated behind the rear heat shield/convection panel.
Mounting the flue collar pointing upwards
Before installing the flue collar to the top, remove the
baffle (2) and smoke hood (1), which is located under the
top cover by turning it clockwise. Then insert and tight-
en the flue collar (3) with the loose screws and clamps.
Replace the smoke hood (1) by lifting it into place and
turning it counterclockwise and place the baffle again.
Mounting the flue collar to the rear
Where a rear flue installation is required, simply knock
out the steel plates in the rear heat shield/convection
panel. This is best done by applying gentle hammer taps
immediately onto the small ”bridges” in the circular cut-
outs. Once the knock-outs have been removed unbolt
the cast iron cover plate and install it into the top of the
stove. The flue collar can then be bolted over the rear
flue outlet using the loose bolts and clamps.
Where applicable, the smoke hood (1) must not be used
if the stove is to be installed with a rear flue outlet (3).
Make sure that the baffle (2), smoke hood, firebricks
and the riddling grate are positioned correctly.
