Please note that no unauthorised alterations of the design may be undertaken, and that
any parts that are replaced must be replaced with original Morsø parts.
Gaskets
The gaskets in the doors will wear out over time and should be replaced as required in order
to prevent runaway combustion. Use the original Morsø gasket kit.
Note: Normal wearing parts are not covered by Morsø’s extended warranty.
A selection of maintenance products (spare parts, glass cleaner, paint, gasket kit, etc.) is avail-
able from your Morsø dealer.
3.3 Cleaning the stove
A layer of ash and soot will form as a result of the draught in the chimney and after sweep-
ing, particularly on the top of the upper bae. This ash will have an insulating eect, which
may speed up the burn-through of the baes.
During normal cleaning, the baes can be removed from the stove. Once the baes have
been taken out, you can access the ue chamber above the baes and clean it.
Clean the baes before reassembling them, and make sure that they are correctly assem-
bled.
Nowadays, the chimney sweep must remove the soot in the stove, in addition to sweeping
the chimney and cleaning the ue pipe. The number of annual sweepings/cleanings of the
stove should be determined in consultation with your chimney sweep.
Ash
As noted above, there should be a layer of approx. 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 into the ash pan.
Empty the ash pan before it gets completely full so that the ash does not insulate around
the grate, and thereby speed up the burn-through.
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
ash in a container made of non-ammable material before pouring it into a rubbish bag.
Ash from a wood-burning stove will not be of any benet to your garden as fertiliser. If you
have burned colour brochures, or painted or treated wood, etc., in the stove, the resulting
ash must not be poured onto soil as it may contain heavy metals.
