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 sim-
ply vacuuming 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 aero-
sol spray or as regular brush-on.

3.2 Internal maintenance

Glass
If the stove is used and installed onto a flue with the correct draft, very little or no deposits should
appear on the 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 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 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 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.
