Do not for any reason attempt to increase the air flow through your heater by altering or tampering
with the air control mechanism. This could lead to serious safety and health hazards.
Warning: Fireplace heaters must never be left unattended when the door(s) is open.
if the door is left partly open, gas and flames may be drawn out of the heater’s opening thus
increasing risks from both fire and smoke. We recommend you to fit smoke and carbon monoxide
detectors in the room where the heater is installed.
DO NOT OverHeAT THiS HeATer. Overheating may cause a house fire, or can result in permanent
damage to the heater. if any part of the heater glows, you are overheating.
The maximum recommended weight of wood fuel per load is 2 kg/h/4.5ibs (approx 3 split
logs).
Under normal firing, the average flue temperature on the single wall stove pipe, measured 8" (200 mm)
above the stove, is approx. 300° C (550°F). The maximum flue temperature on the stove pipe must not
exceed 450° C (750°F). If the flue temperature exceeds 450°C (750°F), it is considered as over firing and
may cause premature wear and tear of the stove. Damaged caused by overheating is not covered under
warranty.
To help gauge the correct running temperature of your stove, we recommend you use the Morsø Stove
Thermometer (part # 62901200). The Stove Thermometer magnetically attaches onto the stove pipe
approx 8” (200 mm) above the stove’s top plate and measures the surface temperature of the stove pipe.
Please see your authorized Morsø Dealer for availability.
Chimney Draft
If smoke or fumes spill from your heater when lighting up and reloading, or if the fire simply will not re-
spond, a poor chimney draft is almost certainly to blame. (In a very few cases, there may be insufficient
fresh air getting into the room - see installation advice above). Take advice from your dealer or chimney
expert on how best to upgrade your flue system and improve the draft.
Simple rules for controlling your heater
If you want less heat, put fewer logs on the heater and reduce the amount of air however, it is extremely
important to maintain a good layer of glowing embers throughout the combustion process.
Low heat output = less wood & less air
High heat output = more wood & more air
Soot particles will accumulate on the glass and vermiculite bricks if the heater is operated too low or if
your wood is not well seasoned.
Maintenance
A clean well maintained heater is essential for good health and a safe home environment. Your heater
should be properly inspected at least once a year.
When performing any maintenance procedure always wear protective clothing and always wear safety
goggles and gloves.
exterior Maintenance
The heater’s outer surface is painted with a heat-resistant paint. Generally, it is best kept clean by using
vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment or, by wiping with a damp lint-free cloth.
Over a period of time, the dark gray painted surface may become lighter. The surface can easily be
restored using our CFC-free aerosol touch-up paint (product code - 62902316DG) Morsø stove paint is
available through your approved Morsø dealer.
In accordance with the instructions, this can be applied in minutes. Be aware however, that the new
coat of paint will need to go through the curing process as described earlier thus, you will need to venti-
late the room when lighting the heater for the first time.
internal Maintenance
Transparent Ceramic glass
If the heater is operated in accordance with the instructions, there should be little or no dirt accumu-
lation on the glass surface. If particles have settled during operation, it is probable that this will burn
away as the fire temperature is increased.
For heavier deposits that will not burn off, Morsø glass cleaner (product code 62902600) can be applied
when the glass is cold. Note: never use abrasive cleaners or scrapers on the glass surface.
Why does my glass get dirty?
• Fuel too wet and/or too thick.
• Fuel not split.
• Combustion chamber temperatures too low – maintain glowing coal bed.
• Poor chimney draft.
• Under firing the stove.
Safety Note: if the glass breaks, replace it with genuine Morsø ceramic glass immediately. Do not
use your heater with a cracked or broken glass; this can lead to overheating.
Installing the glass is relatively simple however; you should never install the ceramic glass when the
heater is in operation.
