Cleaning and care
The wood burning stove and the chimney must be serviced by a chimney sweep twice 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 the combustion chamber:
Scrape/shovel the ash out and store it in a non-flammable 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.
Prolonged periodes of non-use:
If the stove is to be left unused for a prolonged period of time then it should be given
a thorough clean to remove ash and unburned fuel residues. To enable a good flow of
air through the appliance to reduce condensation and subsequent damage, leave the air
controls fully open.
Prior to a new heating season, it should be checked that the chimney and smoke gas con-
nector are not blocked.
