1. When you open the door, you will find two hinge pins, one in each hinge. Remove the two
hinge pins, 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 centre 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, mak-
ing 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 exces-
sive pressure 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.
Reasons for fast internal wear and tear
Persistent heavy firing
Soot and ashes left to accumulate
Gasket
The gasket around the perimeter of the door 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 perim-
eter of the doors, causing the fire to become a little less controllable. A morsø rope gasket
kit is available from your stove supplier.
3.3 Cleaning the Stove and the Flue
Check for soot above the baffle plate and around the flue outlet every month or so to start
with. If the stove suddenly becomes sluggish, check for a soot fall around the flue collar or
in the flue/chimney.
The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Clean the flue/chimney - all the way from the stove to the flue terminal point above the house.
A good routine is to clean the flue after each heating season in any case, and inspect prior
to the season to ensure that bird’s nests or other blockages have not occurred during the
off season.
Ash disposal
Empty the ashpan on a daily basis or as needed. Ash allowed to build up towards the under-
side of the grate will trap heat and could cause premature failure of the grate.
Empty the ashpan according to this procedure:
Open the front door, and use a shovel or poker to stir excess ash through the ash slots in
the grate down into the ash pan. Take out the ash pan, making sure to keep it level to avoid
spilling ash.
Dispose the ash in a metal container with a tight fitting lid.
The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the ground,
well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of
by burial in soil or otherwise locally disperded, they should be retained in the closed container
until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
Return the ash pan to its original position in the stove, and close the door.
CAUTION:
Never empty a stove in operation.
Never use your household or shop vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the stove; always
remove and dispose of the ash properly.
Creosote - formation and need for removal
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled
moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney flue of a slow-
burning fire. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited this creosote
makes an extremely hot fire. When burning wood, the chimney and chimney connector should be in-
spected at least once every two months during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup
has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Chimney sweeping
Inspect the system regularly during the heating season as part of a regular maintenance sched-
ule. To inspect the chimney, let the stove cool completely. Then, using a mirror, sight up through
the flue collar into the chimney flue. If you cannot inspect the flue system in this fashion, the
stove must be disconnected to provide better viewing access.
Clean the chimney using a brush the same size and shape as the flue liner. Run the brush up
and down the liner, causing any deposits to fall to the bottom of the chimney where they
can be removed through the clean-out door.
