Routine Stove Maintenance; External Maintenance; Internal Maintenance - Morso 1400 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 vacu-
uming 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
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 sooty glass window:
- The fuel is too wet.
- The pieces of fuel are to big/uncut wood.
- The combustion temperature is too low.
- Too much air coming through the 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.
Internal cast-iron parts and/or wear components
The shaking grate, baffle plates 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 natu-
rally shorten the lifespan. The aforementioned parts are all easily replaced. If the baffle plates are
damaged and not replaced in time, the stove top will be exposed to such high temperatures that it
may be damaged. When replacing the vermiculite smoke baffle and stone, first remove the loose
cast front grille from the stove. Raise the lowest smoke baffle enough to allow the side stones to
be removed. The lowest smoke baffle can then be removed diagonally through the door opening,
followed by the smaller upper smoke baffle. When reassembling, take care that the baffle plates
is positioned correctly before tightening.
Note that no unauthorised alterations to the stove design should be undertaken, and al-
ways ensure that any replacement parts purchased must be Morsø original parts.
