Interruption of operation
Smoke spillage around door:
Could be due to too low draught in the chimney <12Pa
- Check whether the flue or chimney is blocked
- check whether the extraction hood is switched on; if it is, switch it off and open a win-
dow/door in the proximity of the stove for a short while.
Soot on glass:
Could be because the firewood is too wet.
- make sure that the stove is heated properly when firing 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 firewood
- too little air supply for room ventilation
- unclean smoke channels
- leaky chimney
- leakage between chimney and flue
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 flames or clear embers at
all times. The firewood should not be smoldering. Therefore you should never completely
cut off the air supply.
WARNING!!
In case of chimney fire:
- shut off all air supply on the wood burning stove
- contact the fire department
- never attempt to put out fire with water!
- afterwards, you should ask your chimney sweeper to check the stove and chimney
