RAIS ­ manual for Rais Topas and Rais Opus

 

23 

First usage

 

A careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get 
accustomed to the high temperature. This gives the best start and any damage is 
avoided. 

Be aware that a strange but harmless odour and smoke concoction may emanate from 
the surface of the stove, the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and 
materials need to harden. The odour disappears quickly, but you should check the 
ventilation and draught, if possible. See also, the IMPORTANT warning notice below 
about persistent fumes. 

During this process you must be careful not to touch the painted surfaces, it is 
recommended that you regularly open and close the door to prevent the door seal from 
sticking. 

The stove may also produce "clicking noises" during heating and cooling, caused by the 
large temperature differences which the material is subjected to. 
Never use any type of liquid fuel for kindling or maintaining the fire. You could be at risk 
of explosion. 

The stove gets very hot when in use, always wear protective gloves when tending the 
stove. 

If the stove has not been used for a while, follow the steps as if you were using it for the 
first time.

 

IMPORTANT ­ Warning Note!

 

Properly installed, operated and maintained this appliance will not emit fumes into the 
dwelling. Occasional fumes from de­ashing and re­fuelling may occur. 
However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated. 
If fume emission does persist, the following immediate actions should be taken: 

(a)  Open doors and windows to ventilate room. 
(b)  Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance. 
(c)  Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required. 
(d)  Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been 

identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.

 

IMPORTANT ­ Warning Note!

 

Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.

 

IMPORTANT ­ Safety advice!

 

When using the stove in situations where children, aged and/or infirm persons are 
present a fireguard must be used to prevent accidental contact with the stove. The 
fireguard should be manufactured in accordance with BS 8423:2002 (Replaces BS 
6539).
