Cleaning and care
The wood burning stove and the chimney must be serviced by a chimney sweep once a
year. During cleaning and care, the stove must be cold.
If the glass is sooty:
- Moisten a piece of paper or newspaper, dip it in the ash, and rub the sooty glass with
it.
- Now rub with a piece of paper and the glass will become clean.
- As an alternative you can use glass polish, which you can buy from you RAIS distributor.
Clean the exterior with a dry sponge.
Cleaning soapstone:
Normal cleaning is done with a tightly wrung cloth. If necessary, the soapstone can be
cleaned with a normal diluting agent from a paint store. If there are stains which the
diluting agent cannot handle, it is possible to abrade the stone slightly.
Cleaning the combustion chamber:
Scrape/shovel the ash out and store it in a non-ammable container until it has cooled
down. You can dispose of ash with your normal household waste.
REMEMBER!! Never remove all the ashes from the combustion chamber - the wood
will burn at its best with a layer of ashes of approx. 20 mm.
Prior to a new heating season, it should be checked that the chimney and smoke gas
connector are not blocked.
Cleaning of the ue ways
Remove the bae plate by pivoting it
up at one end and tilting it slightly at an
angle.
Carefully pull out the plate.
Next, remove the ue diverter by lifting it up
and pulling it forward.
Carefully lift out the ue diverter.
Remove dust and dirt and assemble in
reverse order.
Interruption of operation
Smoke spillage around door:
Could be due to too low draught in the chimney <12Pa
- Check whether the ue or chimney is blocked
- check whether the extraction hood is switched on; if it is, switch it o and open a win-
dow/door in the proximity of the stove for a short while.
Soot on glass:
Could be because the rewood is too wet.
- make sure that the stove is heated properly when ring up, prior to closing the door
Could be because the damper regulation is too low.
A stove burning too strong could be caused by:
- leak around the door seal
- chimney draught too large >22 Pa, draught control regulator should be installed.
A stove burning too weakly could be caused by:
- too little rewood
- too little air supply for room ventilation
- unclean smoke channels
- leaky chimney
- leakage between chimney and ue
If your stove continues to malfunction, we recommend that you contact your RAIS dis-
tributor or chimney sweep.
IMPORTANT!! To ensure safe burning there must be clear yellow ames or clear embers
at all times. The rewood should not be smoldering. Therefore you should never com-
pletely cut o the air supply.
WARNING!!
In case of chimney re:
- shut o all air supply on the wood burning stove
- contact the re department
- never attempt to put out re with water!
- afterwards, you should ask your chimney sweeper to check the stove and chimney
