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 period 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
connector are not blocked.
Cleaning of flue ways
The flue ways are consist of a smoke converter plate and a smoke chicane.
The converter plate are made of vermaculit. Handle the part with care.
Remove the smoke converter plate by tilting it backwards and
turning it a little slantwise.
Pull out the plate carefully.
Then remove the smoke chicane by lifting up and tipping it
backwards. Carefully lift out the smoke chicane.
Remove dirt and dust, and mount the parts in reverse order.
