Gaskets
The rope gaskets in the door will need regular inspection in order to ensure and maintain full
control of your stove’s burning rate; over time the rope gaskets will harden and will become
less airtight; at this point you will need to remove and replace with new. Use only the genuine
Morsø gasket kit, which comes with detailed replacement instructions.

3.3 Cleaning the stove
During normal use and sweeping of your stove and chimney, a layer of ash, soot or debris
can form, particularly on the top of the baffle plate or inner fireback. Any deposits allowed
to build-up over time will have an insulating effect on these parts, thus restricting expansion;
this will ultimately result in a shorter lifespan. The chrome-iron baffle plate and inner fireback/
bricks can easily be removed from the stove and should be regularly checked for debris and
cleaned. You must ensure that your chimney sweep removes all soot and debris from the
stove after the sweeping process.
Your chimney should be swept at least once a year; however a regular inspection of your
stovepipe and chimney will determine whether a more frequent approach should be adopted.
Ash
In order to achieve the highest combustion temperature possible when burning solely wood,
it is important that a cm deep bed of ash is established on top of the grate area. Excess ash
should be removed by simply agitating the grate by moving the riddling rod on the outside
of the stove; surplus ash will fall into the ash pan below the grate where it can be easily and
safely removed.
Be sure to empty the ash pan before it gets completely full; if the ash level reaches the under-
side of the grate, air flow through the grate will be restricted and will lead to over-heating and
premature wear of the grate parts.
When emptying the ash pan always dump the waste ash into a metal container (dustbin)
where it can fully cool before being taken away by your refuse collector. Ash from a wood-
burning stove does not benefit your garden as fertiliser.
