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 main-
tained 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. 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 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.
Only use Morsø Glass Cleaner.
Reasons for sooty glass window:
- The fuel is too wet
- The pieces of fuel are too big/uncut wood
- The combustion temperature is too low
- There is not enough air
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 wearing parts
The baffles and other components that come in direct contact with the fire 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 ac-
celerate the burn-through. Such parts are all easily replaced.
If the baffles 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.
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)
