Routine Stove Maintenance - Morso 3100 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
vigorously, the painted surface may take-on a greyish tinge. It is easily maintained by simply
vacuuming the surface with a soft brush attachment and applying two light layers of paint.
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
Ceramic glass
If the stove is used and installed onto a flue with the correct draft, very little or no deposits
should appear on the ceramic glass. It is usual for soot deposits to appear during long slum-
bering fires however, once the fire has been re-established to a burn brightly, these deposits
should 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 pro-
cess 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 wear components
The shaking grate, 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 properly, these parts will last for many years, but overly vigorous use
will naturally shorten the lifespan. The aforementioned parts are all easily replaceable.
If the baffle plate is damaged or warped and is not replaced in time, the top plate could be-
come 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 are Morsø original parts.
