Routine Stove Maintenance; External Maintenance; Internal Maintenance - Morso 2B Standard Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

3.0 Routine stove maintenance

3.1 external maintenance

The surface of the stove is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm paint. If the stove is used too vig-
orously, the painted surface may take-on a greyish tinge. It is easily maintained by simply vacuum-
ing the surface with a soft brush attachment and applying two light layers of paint.
Morsø stoves are painted in Morsø dark grey. The touch-up paint is available either as aerosol spray
or as regular brush-on.

3.2 Internal maintenance

Ceramic glass
If the stove is used and installed onto a flue with the correct draft, very little or no deposits should ap-
pear on the ceramic glass. It is usual for soot deposits to appear during long slumbering fires however,
once the fire has been re-established to a burn brightly, these deposits will burn off.
If the glass window becomes thoroughly covered in soot due to faulty operation or poor draft, the
soot can be easily removed using, e.g. Morsø Glass Cleaner, but please ensure that the glass is
cold before cleaning. Avoid fuelling the stove with wood that is so long that it presses against the
glass when the door is closed.
Reasons for sooted glass window:
• fuel is too wet (green)
• pieces of fuel/uncut wood are too thick
• operating temperature of the stove is too low
• too much air coming through bottom grate
• poor chimney draft
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.
Stone replacement
Unscrew and remove at the rear of the stove the 2 bolts that hold the smoke baffle in place, so that
the smoke baffle is loose inside the stove. Lift the smoke baffle so that the old stones can be re-
moved from the stove and the new ones can be installed. The side stones are placed in the grooves
in the vermiculite bottom plate. Once the stones have been properly put into place, lower the smoke
baffle down onto the stones and re-bolt it securely to the cast rear of the stove.
Internal cast-iron parts and/or wear components
Baffle plate and other internal components that are in direct contact with the fire are all constituted
as 'wear' components or consumables, as, they are exposed to the most wear. When used prop-
erly, these parts will last for many years, but overly vigorous use will naturally shorten the lifespan.
The aforementioned parts are all easily replaced. If the baffle plate is damaged or warped and is not
replaced in time, the top plate could become subject to excessively high temperatures, which may
lead to damage here also.
note that no unauthorised alterations to the stove design should be undertaken, and always
ensure that any replacement parts purchased must be Morsø original parts.
