Morso 5010 - Ash Management and Disposal

10
Causes of early wear and tear of interior parts:
- fire too hot. Too much air through the bottom-grate. Use of too much dry wood
(wood from discarded furniture).
- Too much soot above on top of the baffle (see section on cleaning).
- Too much ash in the pan (see section on ash).

During long periods where the stove is not in use it is essential that all of the air
intakes on the stoves are fully opened and that the door(s) are kept ajar. This will
help vent the stove and chimney and prevent condensation and the resulting cor-
rosion from occurring within the stove.

In the course of time, the gaskets to the doors and in the lid will wear and in order
to maintain control of the stove, they ought to be replaced where necessary. Only
use Morsø gasket kit.
Note: Normal wear and tear is not covered by Morsø’s product guarantee.
Maintenance kits (Spare parts, Glass cleaner, Paint, Gasket kit etc) can all be ob-
tained from your local Morsø dealer.

Layers of ash and soot can form on top of the baffle plate, not only after sweeping
but also as a result of poor flue draught during general use. The accumulated ash
will have an insulating effect on the baffle and could accelerate burn-through of
the plate itself, therefore regular cleaning is essential. Most chimney sweeps will
perform this procedure during the annual/bi-annual chimney sweep.

For wood burning only, a 1-2 cm layers of ash should be established in the bottom
of the firebox in order to achieve a high combustion temperature. When the layer of
ash is too thick, you should push & pull the shaking lever to clear some ash into
the ash pan below.
Empty the pan before it is completely full in order that the ash does not insulate
around the grating since this can accelerate burn-through of the grate.
Normally, the ash should be disposed of into a metal bin where it can cool down
ready for disposal with your refuse. Ash from a woodburning stove is of no benefit
as fertiliser for your garden. If coloured brochures, painted and impregnated wood
or anything similar have been burnt in the stove, you should not pour the ash onto
the ground as it may contain heavy metals.
