2.0 Operating instructions
2.1 Fuel
Your Morsø Panther has been designed to combine the very latest in technology with the
classic beauty of cast iron.
The operation of the stove is very straightforward, by design. But we would urge you to read
all the way through the following hints before your rst ring. Much of the advice will strike
you as very obvious, perhaps; but there will be one or two suggestions that may not have oc-
curred to you, but which might make a dierence to the ease of operation.
A Word About Air Management
The advanced air management system built into your Morsø Panther ensures that the fuel
you select will be burned in the most ecient way possible. This means that the very best
will be made of the energy of that particular fuel.
High eciency burning means that the door glass will stay clean under most normal circumstanc-
es; it also oers a very good performance with respect to the emissions from the stove. The two
go hand in hand if the stove has been built - like the Panther - with high eciency in mind.
It must be pointed out that no stove yet made oers clean-glass performance during the
minutes after loading exceptionally “dirty” fuels, such as small house coal and unseasoned
wood. When such fuels are added to the re in any quantity, some clouding of the glass will
occur. However, with proper use of the controls, the Panther will keep such deposits to a
minimum and ensure a reasonable view of the re.
The controlled and practiced use of smokeless fuels and well seasoned wood will largely elimi-
nate the clouding of the glass, even during those few minutes immediately after loading.
It is worth remembering as a rule of thumb that low temperatures (of stove or fuel) and dirty
fuels will often lead to temporary clouding of the glass, whereas high temperatures and clean
fuels will generally avoid such clouding.
Fuel Choice
The Panther will burn a variety of fuels. Which fuel will be the most successful for you de-
pends on the quality of the ue system and the performance demanded of the stove.
For instance, a ue that pulls unenthusiastically when cool may only prove suitable for wood
(which can work well on a lesser draft), and this may only allow the stove to heat an average
size room. On the other hand, a well constructed and well insulated ue should allow the
Panther to perform well on all fuels, produce higher temperatures and heat larger rooms.
There is no single perfect fuel, only one that suits you and your installation. However, the
following guide will give you some idea of what to expect from the two main fuel groups
(wood and solid fuel), assuming that your ue system is at least adeguate.
