Operation Before you light your heater here are a few considerations. Your new Morsø heater is approved for use with Solid Wood Fuel Only. DO NOT OVERHEAT. If the heater or chimney connector glows, your heater is overheating. Use Morsø stove thermometer for correct operating temperature (#62901200). Have your chimney inspected and cleaned at least once a year by an approved and certified chimney sweep.
How to light your stove 1. How to light the stove As shown in the picture to the left you need the following: 2 fire lighthers (or 5-10 scrunched-up sheets of newspaper) 1 kg of dry kindling Approx. 2-3 lbs. of chopped firewood 2. You should always have an insulating layer of ashes from previous firings in the bottom of the fire chamber. 1” of ash is a suitable base for the wood. Start by placing a couple of logs, approzimately 1 lb., in the bottom of the burn chamber. 3.
Do not for any reason attempt to increase the air flow through your heater by altering or tampering with the air control mechanism. This could lead to serious safety and health hazards. Warning: Fireplace heaters must never be left unattended when the door(s) is open. If the door is left partly open, gas and flames may be drawn out of the heater’s opening thus increasing risks from both fire and smoke. We recommend you to fit smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the room where the heater is installed.
Ceramic glass replacement Ceramic glass cannot be recycled because it has a higher melting point than ordinary glass. If ceramic glass is mixed with ordinary glass, the recycled material is spoiled and the recycling process may be halted. Ensure the heater’s glass does not end up with ordinary recycled waste. It should be presented separately to your local recycling center as ceramic glass.
Caution: Never empty ash when the heater is in operation. Never use your household or shop vacuum cleaner to remove ash from the heater as it may still contain hot coals. Always dispose of ash in a metal container.
