Controlling the burning rate
When operating the stove with solid fuels the combustion air supply should be predominantly
controlled by the primary air intake. The primary air on many of the stoves is controlled by an
air spinner on the ash door or on the bottom of the main door. In the case of the Morsø Owl
3410, 3440 and the Ø range the primary air is controlled via a lever below the ash lip (please
refer to main instructions)
Riddling and ash clearance
Riddling twice a day is usually sufficient. The fire should be riddled with all doors shut.
Never allow ash to accumulate in the ashpan such that it comes into contact with the under-
side of the grate as this will cause it serious damage. The ashpan should be emptied regularly
before it becomes too full. Use the tool provided to remove the ashpan.
Care should be taken to ensure that any hot ash is cool before emptying it into plastic liners or
bins.
Refuelling
Keep the firebox well filled, the fuel may be sloped up from the front fire bars toward the back
of the stove but do not allow fuel to spill over the top of the front fire bars or restrict any ter-
tiary air inlets. Take care that fuel does not project over the front fire bars or damage to the
glass may be caused.
Empty the ashpan, if required, and then riddle the fire. If the fire is very low then it may be nec-
essary to add a small amount of fuel and adjust the air control to maximum for a brief period
until the fire is burning well before fully re-fuelling the stove. After refuelling continue to oper-
ate the stove at full rate for a short time before reducing the air controls for overnight burning.
Reduced or overnight burning
Some experimentation may be necessary to find the air control setting most suitable for the
particular fuel used and the draw on the chimney and the level of heat output required, but
generally the air control should be turned down to the minimum setting for overnight burning.
Please note some sooty deposits or discolouration to the glass may occur when the stove is
slumbered overnight. This should clear once the fire is restored to a good operating tempera-
ture. It may also be necessary to periodically clean the glass; Morsø glass cleaner is available
from your dealer.
To revive the fire, empty the ashpan if necessary, riddle, and turn the air control setting to
maximum. When the fire is burning well load on more fuel as necessary and turn the air con-
trol setting to the desired setting.
Flueway cleaning
It is important that the baffle plate and all the stove flueways are kept clean. When burning
smokeless fuels they should be inspected and cleaned at least once a month.
More soot will be deposited on the baffle plate and in the flueways if the stove is run at low lev-
els for long periods. If this is the case then more frequent cleaning will be necessary.
