1.5 Positioning the stove
Distance to walls and lintel
When the stove is positioned near combustible materials,observe all current local and na-
tional 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 clear-
ances 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 decora-
tive 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,
If using rear exit,the floor protection must extend beneath the chimney connector and 2-in
beyond each side.

Distance to furniture
I ne i ecomrnended minimum distance from stove to furniture is 30 inches.Note that some
furniture is more easily affected by heat and may need to be moved to a greater distance.
This is your responsibility.
In addition other combustible materials,away from the stove.In general,a distance of 30
inches must be maintained between the stove and moveable combustible item such as dry-
ing clothes,newspapers,firewood etc.
1.6 Mobile Home Installation
The Morso Ilio can be installed in a mobile home if equipped with an outside combustion
air kit,a terminal cap with a spark arrestor,and if it meets the following installation require-
ments:
- The stove must be secured to the mobile home structure by bolting through the hearth
pad and into flooring.
- The stove must be installed with a listed Type HT chimney connector,HT Chimney,and
terminal cap with spark arrestor.Never use a single wall connector(stovepipe)in a mo-
bile home installation.
- Floor protection requirements in section 1.5 must be followed precisely.
- In Canada,this appliance must be connected to a 6"(152 mm)factory-built chimney conform-
ing to CAN/ULC-629M,STANDARD FOR FACTORY BUILT CHIMNEYS.Floor protection as
referenced in section 1,5 must be followed,as well as use of Canadian Floor Protector.
- Follow the chimney and chimney connector manufacturer's instructions when installing
the flue system for use in a mobile home.
- Outside air kit should be installed according to installation guide in the kit.
- Intake air piping can be installed through the floor into a vented crawl space or through
the wall of the residence to obtain outside air,
- Install in accordance with 24 CFR,Part 328o(HUD),
- NOTE:Top sections of chimney must be removable to allow maximum clearance of 13.5,
from ground level for transportation purposes.

1.2 The chimney/flue system
Nutt that the flue systein must be independently secured and must not rely on the stove
for support.
The stove must not be connected to a chimney flue serving any other appliance.
(Several flues may run up a single chimney stack;use one flueway per appliance).
Use a residential type masonry or listed type HT factory-built chimney.
High Temperature(H.T.)Chimney Standard UL-103-1985(21oo°F.)or a code-approved
masonry chimney with flue liner for the USA, and High Temperature(650°C)Standard
ULC S-629 for Canada.
I hie internal dimensions of the chimney connector and chimney must not be less than 6 inches
diameter(or equivalent cross section),and should not be significantly larger than this.Too large
a section will tend to allow the flue gases to cool excessively,causing sluggishness or unpredict-
ability in the stove's performance,
We recommend the length of the chimney system should be at least 16 feet(not required)
above the stove in normal domestic situations, measured from the flue collar to the top of
the chimney.
Local conditions like for example-roof constructions,large trees nearby and high altitude,
may influence the chimney draft and height.Therefore,contact the local professional chim-
ney sweep or your Morse dealer.
