Your new Morsø stove is EN-approved for burning wood.
However, the stove is capable of burning other solid fuels as manufactured smokeless coal
or good quality anthracite (stove nuts). If you fire your stove with any fuel other than wood, it
may help to use coal insert/fuel economisers, which simply fit into the left and right sides of
the firebox. Designed primarily to guide the solid fuel over the grate area they also slightly re-
duce the firebox capacity allowing you to have smaller fires.
This is an additional accessory and can be purchased from your authorised Morsø dealer.
BITUMINOUS HOUSE COAL SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN YOUR STOVE.
Before burning solid fuel
Install the coal inserts into the left and right sides of the firebox. The stove is supplied with
one front grate; in some models a second front grate can be purchased through your author-
ised Morsø dealer if you wish to bank your fire higher so as to increase the burn time.
Lighting with solid fuel
All air vents must be fully open during the lighting process.
Start by placing 5-10 crumpled sheets of newspaper or Morsø firelighters on the grate of
the stove; then carefully spread approximately 1 kg of well-dried kindling on the top. Light the
paper/firelighters. Once the kindling has fully ignited, gradually add a small quantity of solid
fuel, adding a little bit more once it has ignited. Continue in this manner until the entire grate
is covered with glowing coals. The level of fuel in the stove should never exceed the level of
the front grate(s). Once the bottom half of the fuel bed is glowing, you should partly close the
bottom vent (on the ash pit door). Once the stove has reached your desired temperature you
can maintain the output by opening further for more heat or closing for less heat. The top air
regulator must always be open just enough so that the flames burn almost clearly and the ce-
ramic glass window stays clean.
4.0 Alternative fuel types
Note: In cases where smokeless fuels containing petrocoke are burned, a pale
greyish layer may be deposited on the inner glass surface when the stove is lit. Fu-
els containing a high content petrocoke may cause a glistening in the surface of
the ceramic glass. Although visible, the structure of the glass will remain intact and
the stove safe. This reaction is not covered under the manufacturer’s guarantee.
In order to maintain the combustion process, the entire grate area must remain covered by
glowing coals. If the coal layer is too shallow you will have less heat and it would not be nec-
essary to supply air via the top vent.
You must empty the ash pan whenever it becomes full. Different fuels have different ash con-
tent and therefore the regularity of the de-ashing process can vary.
Fuel storage
Your fuel supply should always be stored in a suitable, weather-tight coal bunker. These are
usually available through your approved coal merchant.
