If the glass should break, carefully lift off the door. Remove the 9 screws from the back,
and remove the inner frame assembly. Then, remove all the loose pieces of glass and
replace only with a 4mm ceramic new glass panel and gasket available from an authorized
RAIS dealer. Assemble the inner frame, tighten screws evenly (star formation), and put
the door back on.
Removing the Ashes

Cleaning the Smoke Box/Baffle System
For best results the smoke box/baffle system should be cleaned about once a year. The
following steps describe the cleaning process:
1. Remove the baffle plate as follows:
a. Push the baffle plate up towards the top of the stove and lift it off the side stones.
b. The baffle plate can now be turned at an angle and pulled out through the door
opening. Note: The baffle plate is made out of vermiculite, which is a porous
material and should be handled with care.
2. Brush the smoke box and vacuum if necessary.
3. The baffle plate can be put back in reverse order. Make sure the plate is correctly in
place.
Firebox Lining
The firebox bottom lining is made out of firebrick and the side lining is made out of
vermiculite slab insulation (skamol), which protects the outer steel plates from overheating.
With time small cracks might appear, and this is normal. If it breaks however, it must be
replaced. Vermiculite is a porous, high-insulating material and must therefore be handled
with care.
Gaskets
It is recommended to replace the door gaskets about every 2 years. When replacing the
door gasket, make sure the door glass is not pressed too hard against the gasket. The
gasket around the ash drawer can also be replaced as needed. Gaskets can be obtained
from an authorized RAIS dealer.
