Cleaning and Maintenance
Please see “Routine Stove Maintenance” contained in the main instruction manual.
Trouble shooting, tips & hints
1. Glass discolouration
Check that:
• If wood burning, the moisture content is not too high.
• If wood burning, the logs are not oversized (logs greater than 100mm diameter should be
split).
• If wood burning, the combustion air is supplied via the secondary air control.
• If burning solid fuel, an approved fuel is being used.
2. Glass cracking
Check that:
• A quality approved fuel is being used without impurities. Impurities sometimes called
“stones” can explode inside the firebox and damage the glass.
• If the glass has recently been replaced, ensure it is authorised Morsø glass. Morsø use
only 5mm thick glass, it is false economy to use inferior 3 or 4mm replacement glass.
• If the glass cracked when the stove was not being used: there are likely to be signs of
corrosion on the door frame behind the glass. When the stove is out of use for prolonged
periods it is important to remove any ashes and vent the stove. Differences in room, flue,
and stove body temperature can result in condensation inside the stove; if this moisture
comes into contact with any ashes or gaskets it may result in corrosion and acid corrosion
from the ashes. Rust behind the glass will push the glass away from the door frame plac-
ing pressure on the glass at the fixing points; the resulting crack usually runs from clip to
clip.
3. 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 pro-
cess 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.
4. Fire Will Not Burn
Check that:
• If wood burning, the moisture content is not too high.
• If wood burning, the logs are not oversized (logs greater than 100mm diameter should be
split).
• The correct air control is being used for the fuel being burnt, i.e. Primary air for solid fuel
and secondary air for wood burning.
• The air inlet is not obstructed in any way.
• That the chimneys and flueways are clear.
• That there is an adequate air supply into the room.
• That an extractor fan is not fitted in the same room as the fire.
