[. . . ] In situations where the stove is to be fitted into a brick or non-combustible recess, we recommend that the stove is installed with at least 10 cm clearance to the wall, this will allow room air circulate around the stove; also the maintenance of the outside stove is easier. when applied to masonry , a layer of wallpaper is normally classified as a non-combustible surface. 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. One should of course always make certain that the underlying floor surface can bear the weight of the stove. [. . . ] A wood-burning stove requires air for combustion and therefore you may need to install additional ventilation to the room, especially so in well insulated houses. If the air supply is inadequate the chimney draft may be too weak, with the possible result that the stove will not burn properly; smoke spillage may also occur during the refuelling process. If smoke spillage occurs when the fire door is opened, it is probably due to poor chimney draft. This type of stove requires at least 1 pa of chimney draft to achieve satisfactory combustion and smoke spillage prevention. However, in cases where the stove door is opened too vigorously you could expect that slight smoke spillage may occur. If you have any doubts, you may want to have your installer measure the draft in the chimney. The chimney's draft is the resulting effect within the flue caused by the difference in temperature within the flue and the cooler temperature outside. Other factors that can influence the level of draft include the length of the flue, insulation of the chimney, adverse weather conditions or tall buildings or trees nearby the flue terminal. If the chimney is excessively cool, it may help to `prime' the flue before the fire is lit. The chimney is not tall enough, with the result that the terminal sits in the lee of the roof surface or in the vicinity of tall trees or neighbouring buildings. These conditions are also associated with downdraft where the flue gases are pushed back down the chimney. By soot, due to inadequate cleaning, loose debris or even a birds nest. Minimum 4 meters over the stove and the termination adequately clear of the roof line. The efficiency is 76% Your new Morsø stove is EN-tested and recommended to be fired with wood. Wood is a material that contains a great deal of gas (approximately 75 %). For this reason, it is important that the gases are ignited quickly after stoking. If the wood just lies smouldering, especially after re-stoking, a lot of smoke is created, which, in the worst case, may cause an explosive ignition of the gasses, resulting in damage to the stove. In order to ignite the gases that are released from the wood, and to keep clear, lasting flames during the combustion process, it is important to let in the required quantity of oxygen (air supply) at all times. The setting of the air supply, the method of ignition and the lighting intervals depend on the draught in the chimney, the wind and weather, the amount of heat required, the fuel, etc. This means that it may take some time before you get to know the correct functioning of the stove under any given circumstances. Although you can fire your Morsø stove with almost all kinds of wood, you should not fire with wet wood, or unseasoned wood. Wood ought to be stored under a roof for at least 1 year, and preferably 2 years, with free access to wind. [. . . ] Any deposits allowed to build-up over time will have an insulating effect on these parts, thus restricting expansion; this will ultimately result in a shorter lifespan. The chrome-iron baffle plate and inner fireback/ bricks can easily be removed from the stove and should be regularly checked for debris and cleaned. You must ensure that your chimney sweep removes all soot and debris from the stove after the sweeping process. Your chimney should be swept at least once a year; however a regular inspection of your stovepipe and chimney will determine whether a more frequent approach should be adopted. [. . . ]
