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. - at least once a year. Inspect every month.

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 ocurred 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 thegrate

down into the ash pan. Remove the ash pan, making sure to keep it level.

Ceramic 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 door 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.

Dispose the ash in a metal container with a tight ﬁtting lid.

The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombustible ﬂoor or on the ground,

well away from all combustible materials, pending ﬁnal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of

by burial in soil or otherwise locally disperded, they should be retained in the closed container

until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Return the ash pan to its original position in the stove, and close.

Caution:

Never empty a stove in operation.

Never use your household or shop vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the stove;

always remove and dispose of the ash properly.

Creosote - formation and need for removal

When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with expelled

moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ﬂue of

a slow-burning ﬁre. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ﬂue lining. When ignited

this creosote makes an extremely hot ﬁre. When burning wood, inspect the chimney connector

periodically to determine if a creosote buildup has occurred.

Chimney sweeping

Inspect the system regularly during the heating season as part of a regular maintenance schedule.

To inspect the chimney, let the stove cool completely. Then, using a mirror, sight up through the

ﬂue collar into the chimney ﬂue. If you cannot inspect the ﬂue system in this fashion, the stove

must be disconnected to provide better viewing access.

Clean the chimney using a brush the same size and shape as the ﬂue liner. Run the brush up

If you do experience a chimney ﬁre, act promptly and:

Close the air control.

Get everyone out of the house.

Call the Fire Department.

Annual maintenance

Before the heating season, perform a thorough cleaning, inspection and repair:

Thoroughly clean the chimney and chimney connector.

Inspect the chimney for damage and deterioration. Replace weak sections of prefabricated

chimney. Have a mason make repairs to a masonry chimney.

Inspect the chimney connector and replace any damaged sections.

Check gasketing for wear or compression, and replace if necessary.

Check the glass for cracking; replace if needed.

Check door and handles for tightness. Adjust if needed.

3.4 Leaving the stove for extended periods

Important:

If the stove is to be left unused for any period of time, clean it out thoroughly and leave the air

control slightly open to allow airﬂow. Make sure that the ﬂue does not allow rainwater to come

anywhere near the stove; install a chimney cap, but do not block off the ﬂue completely.

These measures should ensure there is a slight movement of air through the stove, and that the

body of the stove remains dry, right into the corners.

Any ash left within an unﬁred stove can attract moisture like blotting paper. If moisture is allowed

to settle within the stove, rust will form. Rust expands as it takes a grip. This can lead to undue

pressure on the stove joints, and this in turn may result in damage to the stove.

NOTE: It is best to thoroughly clean the stove after the heating season has concluded. Adding

a dessicant, such as kitter litter, into the ash pan helps absorb moisture during the summer

months. Be sure to remove this prior to the heating season.

Thank you for buying a morsø stove.

We hope you have many years of carefree warmth in its company. Some initial experimentation

with loading and running techniques will decide your normal routine. If you have any problems

after this short learning phase, please refer to your stove dealer. Should they be unable to help

for any reason, please contact us in writing at the address on the front of this publication.

and down the liner, causing any deposits to fall to the bottom of the chimney where they can be

removed through the clean-out door.

Clean the chimney connector disconnecting the sections, taking them outside, and removing

any deposits with a stiff wire brush. Reinstall the connetor sections after cleaning, being sure to

secure the joints between individual sections with sheet metal screws.

If you cannot inspect or clean the chimney yourself, contact your local Morsø Dealer or a

professional chimney sweep.
