3.0 Routine stove maintenance

3.1 external maintenance

The cast surface of the stove is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm paint. It is best main-
tained by simply vacuuming it with a soft brush attachment or wiping it down with a dry, dust-
free cloth.
If the stove is used too vigorously, the painted surface may assume a greyish tinge over time,
but the stove can easily be freshened up with Morsø spray paint, which is available from your
local retailer.
Morsø stoves are painted using a Morsø Original Black (previously called Morsø dark grey) or
Morsø grey. The paint can be bought in a spray or a can.

3.2 Internal maintenance

Glass window
If the stove is used correctly, very little or no soot will be deposited on the ceramic glass win-
dow. If soot does form on the glass as the stove is being lit, it will burn away once normal
combustion begins in the stove. If the glass window becomes thoroughly covered in soot due
to incorrect operation, the soot can be easily removed using a cleaning agent such as Morsø
Glass Cleaner. The glass must be cold when you clean it. Avoid stoking the stove with pieces of
wood that are so long that they press against the glass window when the door is closed.
Reasons for sooty glass window:
- the fuel is too wet
- the pieces of fuel are too big/uncut wood
- the combustion temperature is too low
- there is not enough air
Ceramic glass replacement
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled because it has a higher melting point that ordinary glass.
If ceramic glass is mixed with ordinary glass, the raw material is spoiled, and the reclaiming
process may be halted. Take care that the ovenproof glass does not end up among ordinary
recycled waste. That will be a great benefit to the environment.
Note: Should be handed in to a recycling station as ceramic glass.
Internal cast-iron parts and/or wearing parts
The baffles and other components that come in direct contact with the fire and glowing fuel
are all wearing parts. As a result, they will be particularly susceptible to burn-through. When
used correctly, these parts will last for many years, but overly vigorous use will naturally ac-
celerate the burn-through. Such parts are all easily replaced.
If the baffles are damaged and are not replaced in time, the top plate will be exposed to such
high temperatures that it may be damaged as well.
Please note that no unauthorised alterations of the design may be undertaken, and that any
parts that are replaced must be replaced with original Morsø parts.
