will naturally shorten the lifespan. The aforementioned parts are all easily replaced. If the baf-
fle plate is damaged or warped and is not replaced in time, the top plate could become 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.
Gaskets
The rope gaskets in the door will need regular inspection in order to ensure and maintain full
control of your stove’s burning rate; over time the rope gaskets will harden and will become
less airtight, at this point you will need to remove and replace with new. Use only the genuine
Morsø gasket kit, which comes with detailed replacement instructions.
NOTE:
Normal wear components (inner parts) are not covered by Morsø’s extended guarantee.
Maintenance products (Spare Parts, Glass Cleaner, Paint, Gasket Kit, etc) are all available
from your authorised Morsø dealer.
3.3 Cleaning the stove
During normal use and sweeping of your stove and chimney, a layer of ash, soot or debris can
form, particularly on the top of the baffle plate or inner fireback. Any deposits allowed to build-
up over time will have an insulating effect on these parts, thus restricting expansion; this ulti-
mately result in a shorter lifespan. The baffle plate can easily be removed from the stove and
should be regularly checked for debris and cleaned. You must ensure that your chimney sweep
removes all soot and debris from the stove after the sweeping process.
Your chimney should be swept at least once a year; however a regular inspection of your stove-
pipe and chimney will determine whether a more frequent approach should be adopted.
Ash
As noted above, there should be a layer of approximately 1 cm insulating ash in the bottom of
the combustion chamber in order to achieve a high combustion temperature. If the layer of ash
is too thick, it can be brushed down with an ash shovel, dustpan or similar tool.
Be sure to empty the ash pan before it gets completely full; if the ash level reaches the under-
side of the grate, air flow through the grate will be restricted and will lead to over-heating and
premature wear of the grate parts
In most cases, the ash will need to be taken away by the waste disposal company. Because
embers may be concealed in the ash pan for several days, it may be necessary to store the
