6. Finally, give each of the bolts an extra half turn or so. The glass should held tight enought
that cleaning will not dislodge it. Do not over-tighten the bolts as this may put excessive
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, 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.
The grate may be replaced by lifting it by its left hand edge and twisting it backwards.
Dislocate the riddling arm from the grate by feel from beneath the floor of the firebox. If you find
this difficult for any reason, raising the rectangular grate surround casting may help.
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. Withdraw the baffle from the firebox
(this may be easier if the firebricks are first removed).
Before replacing the baffle, scrape out the old fire furnace and replace with new to make an
effective seal.
Reasons for fast internal wear and tear
Persistent heavy firing
Soot and ashes left to accumulate
Ceramic 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 door or if air starts to leak in around the perimeter of
the door, 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.
