3.0 Routine stove maintenance
3.1 external maintenance
The cast surface of the stove is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm paint. It is best main-
tained by simply vacuuming it with a soft brush attachment or wiping it down with a dry,
dust-free cloth.
If the stove is used too vigorously, the painted surface may assume a greyish tinge over time,
but the stove can easily be freshened up with Morsø spray paint, which is available from your
local retailer.
Morsø stoves are painted using a Morsø Original Black (previously called Morsø dark grey)
or Morsø grey. The paint can be bought in a spray or a can.
3.2 Internal maintenance
Glass window
If the stove is used correctly, very little or no soot will be deposited on the ceramic glass window. If
soot does form on the glass as the stove is being lit, it will burn away once normal combustion begins
in the stove. If the glass window becomes thoroughly covered in soot due to incorrect operation, the
soot can be easily removed. Use only Morsø Glass Cleaner as a cleaning agent. The glass must be
cold when you clean it. Avoid stoking the stove with pieces of wood that are so long that they press
against the glass window when the door is closed.
Ceramic glass replacement
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled because it has a higher melting point that ordinary glass.
If ceramic glass is mixed with ordinary glass, the raw material is spoiled, and the reclaiming
process may be halted. Take care that the ovenproof glass does not end up among ordinary
recycled waste. That will be a great benefit to the environment.
Note: Should be handed in to a recycling station as ceramic glass.
Interior cast iron parts and other wear and tear parts
Vermiculite stones and other parts that are in direct contact with fire and burning fuel are wear
and tear parts. As such, they are particularly exposed to being burnt through. Used correctly,
these parts will last many years; but firing too heavily will of course accelerate burning through.
The parts mentioned may easily be changed.
If the baffle plate is damaged and not replaced in time, the top plate will be exposed to such
high temperatures that it may be damaged.
Note that unauthorized changes of the construction may not be made, and parts may
only be replaced with original Morsø parts.
Reasons for sooty glass window:
- The fuel is too wet.
- The pieces of fuel are to big/uncut wood.
- The combustion temperature is too low.
