Soot on glass
could be caused by
• the firewood is closed.
• the air damper is closed
Make sure that the stove is heated properly when firing up, prior to closing the door.
Stove is burning too strong
could be caused by:
• leak around the door seal
• chimney draught too large >22 Pa, draught control regulator should be installed.
Stove is burning too weakly
could be caused by:
• too small amount firewood
• too little air supply for room ventilation
• unclean smoke channels
• leaky chimney
• leakage between chimney and flue
Low draught in chimney
could be caused by
• temperature difference is to small, e.g. due to poorely insulated fluepipe
• outdoor temperature is high e.g.in the summer
• no wind
• chimney is too short or is on the lee side
• false air draught in chimney
• chimney or flue pipe is blocked
• high-density housing (lack of fresh air intake)
• negative smoke draught (poor condition)
In case of cold chimney or difficult weather conditions you can compensate by adding
more fresh air (open the damper) to the stove than usual.
If your stove continues to malfunction, we recommend that you contact your RAIS distrib-
utor or chimney sweep.
WARNING!!
If incorrectly or too damp firewood is used, it can lead to excessive formation of soot in
the chimney and possible a chimney fire:
• in this case shut off all air supply from outside (if installed) to the 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
IMPORTANT!!
• to ensure safe burning there must be clear yellow flames or clear embers at all times.
• the firewood should not be smouldering.
If the firewood is only burning slowly without flames or is smoking, and too little air is
added, unburned exhaust gasses are developed.
Exhaust gasses can be ignited and explode, leading to damage to material and possibly
personal injury.
Never close the air supply completely when lighting a fire.in the stove.
