Alternative Fuel Types - Morso O Series Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

Your new Ø-Collection stove is EN-approved for burning wood.
However, the stove is capable of burning other solid fuels as manufactured smokeless coal
or good quality anthracite (stove nuts).
BITUMINOUS HOUSE COAL SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN YOUR STOVE.
Before burning solid fuel
Install the chrome iron basket into the firebox.
Lighting with solid fuel
All air vents must be fully open during the lighting process.
Start by placing 5-10 crumpled sheets of newspaper or 2 firelighters on the grate of the
stove; then carefully spread approximately 1 kg of well-dried kindling on the top. Light the
paper/firelighters. Once the kindling has fully ignited, gradually add a small quantity of solid
fuel, adding a little bit more once it has ignited. Continue in this manner until the entire grate
is covered with glowing coals. The level of fuel in the stove should never exceed the level of
the front grate. Once the bottom half of the fuel bed is glowing, you should partly close the
bottom vent (on the ash pit door). Once the stove has reached your desired temperature
you can maintain the output by opening further for more heat or closing for less heat. The
secondary air regulator must always be open just enough so that the flames burn almost
clearly and the ceramic glass window stays clean.
Note: In cases where smokeless fuels containing petrocoke are burned, a pale greyish
layer may be deposited on the inner glass surface when the stove is lit. Fuels contai-
ning a high content petrocoke may cause a glistening in the surface of the ceramic
glass. Although visible, the structure of the glass will remain intact and the stove safe.
Glass affected in this way is not covered by manufacturer's guarantee.
In order to maintain the combustion process, the entire grate area must remain covered by
glowing coals. If the coal layer is too shallow you will have less heat.
You must empty the ash pan whenever it becomes full. Different fuels have different ash
content and therefore the regularity of the de-ashing process can vary.
Fuel storage
Your fuel supply should always be stored in a suitable, weather-tight coal bunker. These are
usually available through your approved coal merchant.
