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 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
Ceramic glass
If the stove is used and installed onto a flue with the correct draft, very little or no deposits should
appear on the ceramic 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 will 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.
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.
Stone replacement
Unscrew and remove at the rear of the stove the 2 bolts that hold the smoke baffle in place, so
that the smoke baffle is loose inside the stove. Lift the smoke baffle so that the old stones can
be removed from the stove and the new ones can be installed. The side stones are placed in the
grooves in the vermiculite bottom plate. Once the stones have been properly put into place, lower
the smoke baffle down onto the stones and re-bolt it securely to the cast rear of the stove.
Internal cast-iron parts and/or wear components
Baffle plate and other internal components that are in direct contact with the fire are all con-
stituted 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 short-
en the lifespan. The aforementioned parts are all easily replaced. If the baffle plate is damaged
or warped and is not replaced in time, the top plate could become 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 al-
ways ensure that any replacement parts purchased must be Morsø original parts.
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 bottom grate.
- Poor chimney draft.
