MAINTENANCE
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 dry piece of paper and the glass will become clean.
­ As an alternative you can use glass cleaner, which you can buy from you RAIS
distributor.
Clean the exterior with a dry sponge or a soft brush.
Cleaning the combustion chamber:
Scrape/shovel the ash out and store it in a non­flammable container until it has cooled
down. You can dispose of ash with your normal household waste or recycle on the
garden.
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 periods of non­use:
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 flue pipe
connector are not blocked.
Chimney cleaning
The chimney should be swept at least twice a year. It is important that the flue connection
and chimney are swept prior to lighting up after a prolonged shutdown period.
If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney will require sweeping after a
month of continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left
from the open fire usage have not been loosened by the higher flue temperatures gener­
ated by the closed stove.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have pro­
vided alternative means, such as a soot door. After sweeping the chimney the stove flue
outlet and the flue pipe connecting the stove to the chimney must be cleaned with a flue
brush.
