cm in front of the stove and 15 cm to each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
Combustion air supply
In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the
room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air.
The provision of air supply to the stove must be in accordance with current Building Regulations
Approved Document J. An opening window is not appropriate for this purpose.
Commissioning and handover
Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the stove instruction booklet.
On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry
out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove
up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating instructions for the
stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer on the correct use of the appliance
with the fuels likely to be used on the stove and warn them to use only the recommended fuels for the
stove.
Advise the user what to do should smoke or fumes be emitted from the stove. The customer should be
warned to use a fireguard to BS 8423 in the presence of children, aged and/or infirm persons.
Supplementary Operating Instructions for use with
Morsø UK stoves
PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND THESE SUPPLEMENTARY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
BEFORE USING THE STOVE.
Warning Note
Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional
fumes from de ashing and re fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially
dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, then the following immediate
action should be taken:
(a) Open doors and windows to ventilate room.
(b) Let the fire go out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
(c) Check for flue or chimney blockage and clean if required.
(d) Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been identi fied
and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.
The most common cause of fume emission is flueway or chimney blockage. For your own safety these
must be kept clean at all times.
Important Notes
General
Before lighting the stove check with the installer that the installation work and commissioning checks
described in the installation instructions have been carried out correctly and that the chimney has been
swept clean, is sound and free from any obstructions. As part of the stoves’ commissioning and
handover the installer should have shown you how to operate the stove correctly.
CO Alarm
Your installer should have fitted a CO alarm in the same room as the appliance.
If the alarm sounds unexpectedly, follow the instructions given under “Warning Note” above.
Use of fireguard
When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are present a fireguard
must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The fireguard should be manufactured in
accordance with BS8423:2002.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least once a year for smokeless fuels and a minimum of twice a year for
wood and other fuels. It is important that the flue connection, any appliance baffles or throat plates and
the chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period. If the stove is fitted in
place of an open fire then the chimney should be swept one month after installation to clear any soot
falls which may have occurred due to the difference in combustion between the stove and the open fire.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided
alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue outlet and the flue
pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue brush.
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to
emit smoke and fumes into the room.
Periods of Prolonged Non-Use
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given a thorough clean
to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of air through the appliance to reduce
condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air controls fully open.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tool, handle and mitten.
Always use the correct door handle, operating tool and mitt provided when handling parts likely to be
hot when the stove is in use.
Chimney Fires
If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney
fire does occur immediately contact the fire brigade; turn the air control setting to the minimum if it is
safe to do so. This should cause the chimney fire to go out in which case the control should be kept at
the minimum setting until the fire in the stove has gone out.
After a chimney fire the chimney should be carefully examined for any damage. Expert advice should
be sought if necessary.
