3.0 MAINTENANCE

When perfoming maintenance on your stove, always protect yourself, using safety goggles
and gloves.

3.1 Exterior Maintenance

The stove surface is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm paint. It is best kept clean by vacuuming
with a soft brush attachment or by wiping with a lint-free cloth.
Over a period of time, the painted surface may become slightly grey. A can of Morsø touch-up
spray paint should be available from your stove supplier. This can be applied - in accordance
with the instructions - in just a few minutes. When first firing after touching up, the stove will
give off a slight smell as the paint cures. Make sure to ventilate the room well during this phase.

3.2 Internal maintenance

Glass
If the stove is generally run at the correct temperatures, there should be little or no dirt on the
glass. If dirt does settle during lighting, most will burn off as temperatures increase.For heavier
deposits that will not burn off, use morsø glass cleaner, applied when the glass is cold, in
accordance with the instructions. Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass surface.
Reasons for dirty glass
· Fuel too wet
· Logs too large or not split
· Combustion temperatures too low
Replace broken glass immediately.
Do not operate your stove if the glass in the door is damaged.
If you need to replace the glass, it should be replaced with the high temperature ceramic class
supplied by Morsø, contact your Morsø dealer.
Installing the glass
Never install the glass when the stove is in function.
Ceramic glass replacement
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled because it has
a higher melting point that ordinary glass. If ce-
ramic 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.

1. When you open the door, you will find two small M4 unbraco screws, one in each hinge. Uns-
crew the two screws, lift the door off the hinges and place it face down on a sheet of cardboard
or other nonabrasive fabric.
2. Unscrew the 4 bolts that secure the glass. (In the event that a bolt sheers off when being
unscrewed, remove the remaining body of the bolt by drilling down its cnetre with 1/8 inch high
speed steel drill bit. Smaller drill bits may be successful, but do not use a lager bit. Make sure
the bit stays away from the edges of the bolt - this may damage the thread in the cast iron).
3. Remove the old ceramic gaskets and clean up the surface underneath with wire wool or
emery paper to remove loose particles.
4. Place the new gasket material in position around the perimeter of the window area, making
sure to pinch them to the length in such a way that they make a continuous seal. Leave no gaps.
5. Place the new glass in position on the strips and screw home the fresh bolts and fitting by
hand.
6. Finally, give each of the bolts an extra half turn or so. The glass should held tight enough by
that cleaning will not dislodge it. Do not over-tighten the bolts as this may put excessive pres-
sure on the glass, resulting in cracking - important!
To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking the glass or slamming the
door.
Internal service parts
The flame-path equipment - consisting of the ashpan, grate, firebricks, Cast iron fire plates,
glass, baffle and flue collar - are subject to the extremes of heat produced by the fire. From
time to time, one or other of these parts may need replacing as a matter of routine maintenance.
NOTE: The flame-path equipment, the ceramic rope and the paint finish are not covered by
guarantee.
All of these service parts can be bought from your morsø dealer, and we recommend that damaged
parts are replaced as soon as possible to avoid collateral damage.
Should the baffle be distorted by an overfire, the stove will still function, although its efficiency
may be compromised. Replace it as soon as possible. The radiation shield on the back of the
stove is first removed by loosening the 4 screws. The rear casing is removed (four bolts). Remove
these and remove the 2 M8 bolts keeping the baffle plate. withdraw the baffle from the firebox.
Before replacing the baffle, scrape out the old fire furnace and replace with new to make an
effective seal.
Reasons for fast internal wear and tear
Persistent heavy firing
Soot and ashes left to accumulate
Gasket
The gasket around the perimeter of the doors may harden over a period of time. It should be
replaced if it becomes difficult to close the doors or if air starts to leak in around the perimeter
of the doors, causing the fire to become a little less controllable. A morsø rope gasket kit is
available from your stove supplier.
