The stove door should normally be opened gently the rst 2-3 cm, then you should wait un-
til the pressure has equalised before opening the door all the way. This technique will prevent
smoke from getting out, particularly when there is a poor draugt.
The stove door should never be opened when the stove is being red vigorously.
Once the wood has burned out, it becomes glowing charcoall. If a good layer of embers has al-
ready formed on top of a su cient layer of ash, the stove can keep warm for a very long time,
not least due to the favourable qualities of the cast iron.
We would strongly recommend that you do not leave your stove alit at night. It
harms the environment and constitutes very poor use of the wood as the gases
in the wood do not ignite at the low temperature, but settle as soot (unburned ga-
ses) in the chimney and stove. Extreme conditions, such as poor draught in the
chimney, large quantities of wood or wet wood, may in the worst-case scenario
cause an explosive ignition.
When
ring in the summer period, when there is minimal need for heat, the
combustion will be poor. The stove provides too much heat so the combusti-
on should be reduced. But always remember to make sure that there are lasting
ames until the wood becomes charcoal. If you want a weaker re, stoke up using
less wood.
If you
re the stove using wet wood, a lot of the fuel's thermal energy will be
spent forcing the water out of the wood, without releasing any heat to the stove.
This incomplete combustion results in a layer of soot being left in the stove, pipe
and chimney.

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 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
Glass window
If the stove is used correctly, very little or no soot will be deposited on the ceramic glass win-
dow. If soot does form on the glass as the stove is being lit, it will burn away once normal com-
bustion begins in the stove. If the glass window becomes thoroughly covered in soot due to in-
correct 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.
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 re-
cycled waste. That will be a great bene t to the environment.
Note: Should be handed in to a recycling station as ceramic glass.
Internal cast-iron parts and/or wearing parts
The ba es and other components that come in direct contact with the re and glowing fuel
are all wearing parts. As a result, they will be particularly susceptible to burn-through. When
used correctly, these parts will last for many years, but overly vigorous use will naturally
accelerate the burn-through. Such parts are all easily replaced. If the ba es are damaged and
are not replaced in time, the top plate will be exposed to such high temperatures that it may be
damaged as well.
Please note that no unauthorised alterations of the design may be undertaken, and that any
parts that are replaced must be replaced with original Morsø parts.
