1.5 The chimney
If local regulations permit, the stove may be connected to a chimney already serving anoth-
er replace (such as an oil-burning stove or another wood-burning stove). Attention should
be paid to any requirements concerning the location of ue pipes if two or more replaces
are connected to the same chimney. The wood-burning stove must never be connected to a
chimney to which a gas-burning stove is already connected. An ecient, modern stove places
great demands on the chimney, so you should get the chimney sweep to evaluate chimney.
The aperture of the chimney must comply with national and local regulations. In general, the
aperture area should measure at least 175 cm2 (150 mm diameter) for wood-burning stoves.
Exceptions to this are: Smoke Exempt Morsø stoves tted with a 125mm diameter ue col-
lar. These can be connected to a chimney system or liner with a minimal cross sectional area
of 123 cm² (125mm diameter)
An overly large chimney aperture will mean that too much energy will be required to heat
the chimney suciently to achieve an acceptable draught in the chimney. If you have a brick
chimney with a large aperture, we recommend that you install an insulating chimney liner of
the proper diameter. This will increase the draught, and improve the fuel economy.
There are no requirements with respect to specic chimney heights, but a chimney must
be tall enough to provide a good draught, and to ensure that the smoke does not cause any
problems. As a general rule, there will be a satisfactory draught if the chimney extends 4
metres above the stove and at least 100 cm above the spine of the roof.
If the chimney is located along the side of the house, the top of the chimney should never
be lower than the spine of the roof or the highest point on the roof. Please note that there
are often national and local regulations concerning the location of chimneys in houses with
thatched roofs. Please see section 1.9 on Draught.
The chimney and the ue pipe must be tted with cleaning doors, which must be at least
the same size as the chimney’s aperture area.
The chimney must be accessible for external inspection, and it must be possible to access
the cleaning doors and the chimney if it is to be cleaned from the top (e.g. steel chimneys).
1.6 Connecting the ue pipe
Lift the upper cast iron top plate o the stove.
Note: the round cast iron cover plate in the top plate must remain mounted if the stove is
being installed with the ue pipe to the rear, but unscrewed from the upper top plate if the
ue pipe is being installed pointing upwards.
Mounting the ue collar pointing upwards
From the factory, the stove is prepared for installation with the included ue collar pointing
upwards with included screws.
Mounting the ue collar to the rear
With a hammer use light, rm taps to knock out the iron piece on the convection back panel
from the small “bridges” holding the piece in place.
The cover plate for the smoke outlet is unscrewed from the back panel and the xed onto
the top panel.
Mount the ue collar onto the back panel
Lift the top panel back into place and the round section which is provided can be placed in
the top panel and cover for the blocked o smoke outlet.
The location of the bae and cast smoke hood
The rear brick and the bae, which are made from vermiculite, are mounted at the factory.
Make sure that the bae and rear brick stone are correctly assembled before lighting the
stove.
