3.0 Routine stove maintenance
3.1 External maintenance
The surface of the stove is painted with heat-resistant Senotherm paint. If the stove is used
too vigorously, the painted surface may take-on a greyish tinge. It is easily maintained by simp-
ly vacuuming the surface with a soft brush attachment and applying two light layers of paint.
Morsø stoves are painted in Morsø dark grey. The touch-up paint is available either as aero-
sol spray or as regular brush-on.
3.2 Internal maintenance
Ceramic glass
If the stove is used and installed onto a ue with the correct draft, very little or no deposits
should appear on the ceramic glass. It is usual for soot deposits to appear during long slum-
bering res however, once the re has been re-established to a burn brightly, these deposits
will burn o.
If the glass window becomes thoroughly covered in soot due to faulty operation or poor
draft, the soot can be easily removed using, e.g. Morsø Glass Cleaner, but please ensure that
the glass is cold before cleaning. Avoid fuelling the stove with wood that is so long that it
presses against the glass when the door is closed.
Internal cast-iron parts and/or wear components
The bae plate and other internal components that are in direct contact with the re are all
constituted as ‘wear’ components or consumables, as, they are exposed to the most wear.
When used properly, these parts will last for many years, but overly vigorous use will natu-
rally shorten the lifespan. The aforementioned parts are all easily replaced.
If the bae plate is damaged or warped and is not replaced in time, the top plate could be-
come subject to excessively high temperatures, which may lead to damage here also.
Note that no unauthorised alterations to the stove design should be undertaken, and always ensure that
any replacement parts purchased must be Morsø original parts.
Reasons for sooted glass window:
- Fuel is too wet (green).
- Pieces of fuel/uncut wood are too thick.
- Operating temperature of the stove is too low.
- Too much air coming through bottom grate.
- Poor chimney dra.
