PLEASE NOTE!
If the fire has burned down too low (too small an ember), it may take longer to get
going. RAIS recommends using kindling wood to ignite the fire.
The smoke rising out of the chimney should be practically invisible during combustion;
only a ’flicker’ in the air should be observed.
When refuelling, open the door carefully to avoid smoke escaping. Stoke up with wood
while the stove is burning.
RAIS recommends adding 2-3 wood logs - approx. 1-1½ kg within 58 minutes (inter-
mittent operation).
PLEASE NOTE!
Keep an eye on the stove when lighting.
During operation, the door should always remain shut.
Lighting and fuelling
PLEASE NOTE!
If the air system is connected, the valve must remain open
".Top-down" lighting
• Start by placing 3-4 pieces of chopped wood - approx. 1 ½-2 kg in the bottom of
the combustion chamber. Place approx. 1kg of dry wood, chopped to pieces,
on top, and 2-3 fuel tablets or similar (1).
Adjust the air damper so that it is completely open, i.e. position 3.
• The fire is lit and the door is closed ajar (2-3).
PLEASE NOTE! It is important to have a quick lighting of the wood.
• When the fire has caught the kindling wood, shut the door completely (after ap-
prox. 10-15 minutes, depending on the draft conditions in the chimney.
The damper is set to position 2 - see adjustment of air
dampers.
• When the last flame is extinguished and there is a good layer of embers (5), add
2-3 pieces of wood - approx. 1½ kg wood (6).
• Close the door ajar, and when the fire has taken hold, close the door completely.
• After approximately 5 min - or until clear and stable flames appear (6) - close the
damper gradually (see "Setting the damper").
Control
Check the stove for signs of proper burning:
• Ashes appear white
• The walls of the combustion chamber are free of soot
Conclusion: The wood is sufficiently dry.
