Clean the chimney connector disconnecting the sections, taking them outside, and remov-
ing any deposits with a sti 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.
If you do experience a chimney re, act promptly and:
1. Close the air control.
2. Get everyone out of the house.
3. 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 spinner
slightly open to allow airow. Make sure that the ue does not allow rainwater to come anywhere
near the stove; install a chimney cap, but do not block o the ue 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 unred stove can attract moisture like blotting paper. If moisture is al-
lowed 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. Add-
ing a dessicant, such as kitter litter, into the ash pan helps absorb moisture during the sum-
mer months. Be sure to remove this prior to the heating season.
