Routine Stove Maintenance - Morso 5660 Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

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
maintained 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 in Morsø charcoal or Morsø light grey. The paint is available either
as a spray or in tins.
3.2 Internal maintenance
Glass window
If the stove is used correctly, very little or no soot will be deposited on the ceramic glass
window. 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 to big/uncut wood.
- the combustion temperature is too low.
Interior cast iron parts and other wear and tear parts
Vermiculite stones and other parts that are in direct contact with fire and burning fuel are
wear and tear parts. As such, they are particularly exposed to being burnt through. Used cor-
rectly, these parts will last many years; but firing too heavily will of course accelerate burning
through.
The parts mentioned may easily be changed.
If the baffle plate is damaged and not replaced in time, the top plate will be exposed to such
high temperatures that it may be damaged.
note that unauthorized changes of the construction may not be made, and parts may
only be replaced with original Morsø parts.
Reasons for overly rapid wear of internal parts
- Stove fired too vigorously
- Use of very dry wood (wood from old furniture).
- too much soot on top of the baffles (please see the section on Cleaning).
- too much ash in the ash pan (please see the section on Ash).
