4.0 ALTERNATIvE FUEL TyPES
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 (available for most models), 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 reduce 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 insert (where available) into the left and right sides of the firebox.
All stove models are supplied with 1 front grate bar, however in the case of the 1400 series an
optional second front grate bar can be purchased from your Authorised Morsø Dealer. A second
front grate bar will allow for a deeper fire bed and a longer burn time.
IN ALL MODELS NEVER LOAD THE FUEL ABOVE THE FRONT GRATE BAR LEVEL.
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 2 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
primary air supply. 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 secondary air regulator
must always be open just enough so that the flames burn almost clearly and the ceramic glass
window stays clean.
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. Fuels contai-
ning 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.
glass is not covered by the manufacturer’s 10-year guarantee.
