NOTE: The flame-path equipment, the ceramic rope and the paint finish are not covered
by guarantee.
All of these service parts can be bought from your morsø dealer, and we recommend that
damaged parts are replaced as soon as possible to avoid collateral damage.
Should the baffle be distorted by an overfire, the stove will still function, although its efficiency
may be compromised. Replace it as soon as possible.
Reasons for fast internal wear and tear
Persistent heavy firing
Soot and ashes left to accumulate
Gasket
The gasket around the perimeter of the doors may harden over a period of time. It should be
replaced if it becomes difficult to close the doors or if air starts to leak in around the perimeter
of the doors, causing the fire to become a little less controllable. A morsø rope gasket kit is
available from your stove supplier.
3.3 Cleaning the Stove and the Flue
Check for soot above the baffle plate and around the flue outlet every month or so to start with.
If the stove suddenly becomes sluggish, check for a soot fall around the flue collar or in the
flue/chimney.
The chimney and chimney connector should be inspected at least once every two months
during the heating season to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred. If creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
Clean the flue/chimney - all the way from the stove to the flue terminal point above the house.
A good routine is to clean the flue after each heating season in any case, and inspect prior
to the season to ensure that bird’s nests or other blockages have not occurred during the off
season.
Ash disposal
Empty the ashpan on a daily basis or as needed. Ash allowed to build up towards the underside
of the grate will trap heat and could cause premature failure of the grate.
Empty the ashpan according to this procedure:
Open the front door, and use a shovel or poker to stir excess ash through the ash slots in the
grate down into the ash pan. Then, open the ash door and take out the ash pan, making sure
to keep it level to avoid spilling ash.
To reduce the risk of breaking the glass, avoid striking the glass or slamming the
door.
Internal service parts
The flame-path equipment - consisting of the ashpan, grate, firebricks, Cast iron fire plates,
glass, baffle and flue collar - are subject to the extremes of heat produced by the fire. From time
to time, one or other of these parts may need replacing as a matter of routine maintenance.
