1.5 Positioning the stove
IN CASE THE MORSØ 1710 INSERT, AS EXSPECTED, IS NOT USED AS
A INSERT IN AN NON-COMBUSTIBLE CHIMNEY FOLLOWING RULES
APPLY
Distance to walls and lintel
When the stove is positioned near combustible materials, observe all current local and national
building regulations with regards to clearances. Whatever regulations apply to your area, do
not in any case install the stove within 8 inches of combustible materials around the sides or
16 inches above the top of the stove (fireplace installations require greater clearances above
the stove - see below in the clearance chart). These distances may need to be increased if the
materials are sensitive to heat. Note also that wall paper and other decorative materials may
become detached with the effects of heat and care should be taken to ensure that they do not
fall towards the stove in such an event.
When the stove is positioned near non-combustible materials, a gap of 4 inches or more is
recommended for cleaning purposes and to ensure that heat circulates around the stove and
out into the room.
CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES REQUIREMENTS:
The floor in front of the fireplace requires thermal projection of 1 inch (25 mm) thick mune-
ral fiber millboard with a value ofk=84 BYU/IN FT² HR °F when the floor is 3 inches or more
below the bottom opening of the fireplace extending out 16 inches (406 mm).
