ENJOY YOUR NEW
MORSØ STOVE!
Morsø, the largest stove manufacturer in Denmark,
has been making cast-iron stoves of the highest quality since 1853. By carefully following the instructions
below, we are certain that you will enjoy many years of
comfortable warmth from your new Morsø stove.
Additional accessories
Morsø also offers a comprehensive line of floor plates and accessory products that can facilitate
the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of your Morsø stove.
Cast iron
Cast iron is a live material. There are no two ovens that are identical. This is partly due to the
tolerances of the casting process, partly because the ovens are a work of craftsmanship.

1.1 Unpacking the stove
1630: After removing the outer packaging, flatten it and lay onto the floor close to the stove;
this can then act as protective work surface during the assembly process.
Next, remove the legs and bolts from inside the stove. Gently lay the stove onto its back and
unscrew it from the wooden pallet. Using the bolts supplied, now screw the legs into position on
the underside of the base. The stove should now be lifted and moved into the upright position,
avoiding excess load on the back legs.
The stove is heavy and therefore it is strongly recommended that when lifting, it is undertaken
by two people. Morsø 1630 weighs 133 kg.
1.2 Installing the stove
The stove and chimney installations MUST comply to all current National and Local Building Regulations; your approved Morsø dealer or your local building control officer can advise regarding
this. Ultimately, it is you and your installer who is responsible that the installation complies.
1.3 Chimney sweep
It may also be wise to consult your local chimney sweep before installing the stove. After your
stove has been installed, it is advisable to have the chimney checked and swept at least once
a year. In any case, if your chimney has not been used for some time, it should be inspected for
cracking, bird nests, etc. before it is put back into use.
1.4 Stove placement/clearance requirements
Minimum Clerarance requirements apply if the stove is placed near to combustible materials.
Permitted clearances to combustible materials are also indicated on the data plate on the rear
of the stove.
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 heat to 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.

Minimum clearances to combustible surfaces:
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. The hearth temperature under
safety test was less than 65°C.
One should of course always make certain that the underlying floor surface can bear the weight
of the stove.
Clearances to Furniture
The clearance requirement from the stove to any furniture should be no less than 800 mm. It is
always necessary to assess whether or not any furniture or other objects situated close-by can
be affected by heat, i.e. dried out.
The distance to any combustible material in front of the stove is minimum 800 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 infirm 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 chimney 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 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 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 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 cleaning.
The size of the cleaning door in the chimney must at least equal to that of the cross-sectional
area of the chimney.
In the event that a chimney fire occurs resulting from faulty operation or prolonged use
of damp wood fuel, close the air vents completely and contact your local fire department
immediately.
1.6 Fluepipe connections
The stove is supplied with a factory fitted flue collar (1), this is fitted to the top plate. A square
cast iron blanking plate covers the rear flue outlet (behind the rear heat shield).
When required, the flue collar can be removed and relocated to the rear flue outlet. To do this,
simply unscrew the flue collar, and the square cast iron blanking plate from the rear plate and refit
it on the top plate. The flue collar can now be screwed into position using the existing screws.
Be sure that the following parts are
correctly positioned:
- Baffle plates (1.2 & 3)
- Front grate (4)
- Riddling grates (5)
- Ash Can (6)
- Primary Air Controle (7)
- Secondary Air Controle (8)
- Cover (9)
- Flue Collar (10)
- Grate Frame (11)
