Clearances to Furniture
The clearance requirement from the stove to any furniture should be no less than 700 mm. It
is always necessary to assess whether or not any furniture or other objects situated close-by
can be aected by heat, i.e. dried out.
The distance to any combustible material in front of the stove is minimum 700 mm.
The surface of a wood burning stove gets extremely hot when used and therefore special
attention to safety is paramount, especially where children or the inrm are present.
The stoves handle also gets hot when the stove is lit, which is why a safety glove is included
with the stove.
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-burning
stove or appliance is connected.
An ecient 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
installation 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 Regulations also apply with regard to the placement of chim-
neys and ues in connection with thatched roofs. See the section on Draft Conditions, 1.9.
The chimney or ue 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.
