FIRE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY! 5 Eco-friendly advice for sensible heating - common sense both environmentally and economically. 1. Effective lighting. Use small pieces of wood (fir tree) and a suit- able fire lighter, for example paraffined wood wool/sawdust. Open the air damper, so plenty of air is fed to the stove and the gases from the heated wood can burn rapidly.

Connect the flue collar to the chimney or liner. place the insert in the fire place. The insert can then be placed and centered in the fireplace or built-in opening. To level the insert, use the 4 leveling screws situated under the firebox.
Floor protection If the floor is combustible, the stove must be placed on a non-combustible plate such as steel, glass or stone. The floor protection plate must extend 16” in front of the stove door in the US (40.6cm) and 18” (45.7cm) in Canada, 8” (20cm) beyond the sides of the fuel-loading door.
Removal of the fireplace for inspection. In case of an inspection of the fireplace or fireplace insert it might be necessary to remove the insert from the fireplace. in this case you should follow the steps on page 12 for removing the baffles and smoke chicane from the insert and loosen the flue collar from the insert.

Firewood Only burn wood that has been seasoned for at least one full year (two years is better). If the wood has not been seasoned or dried, energy will be lost in evaporating the wa- ter held in the wood. Furthermore, condensation or creosote might occur in the stove and pipe when damp wood is burnt.
Adjusting the combustion air All RAIS stoves are equipped with an easy-to-use handle for adjusting the air control. For the various positions of the control please see the following illustrations. To en- sure proper combustion process it is very important to supply the correct quantity of air at the right time and place.
REMEMBER THE STOVE IS HOT WHILE IN OPERATION, SO KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING, AND FURNITURE AWAY. CON- TACT WITH A STOVE WHEN BURNING MAY CAUSE SKIN BURNS. Warning: Do not fire the stove with the door open! Using the stove Only use wood as fuel as described in the firewood section of this manual. Adjusting the air control There are three different positions for air control: Position 1:...
First Fire Your new RAIS should be run-in gently for top performance and to prevent paint dam- age, cracks in the firebrick, and excessive wear and tear. Start with a small fire (never overload the firebox) to allow the materials to get accustomed to the higher tempera-...
Lighting and Stoking To light the stove, use alcohol briquettes or similar, as well as approx. 2 kg of firewood, split into kindling sticks. Set the air damper to the fully open position. Be careful not to place the firewood too close to the opening and glass.

When the flames are clear - after approx. 5-10 min. - close the door. After approx. 10-20 min. - when you have a good Bed of glowing embers - add 2-3 pieces of wood. Be careful not to place the firewood too close to the opening and glass.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, naph- tha, engine oil, or similar liquids to start or freshen up a fire in your RAIS stove. Keep all such liquids well away form the stove while it is in use.
Maintaining the installation. Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and firing technique. Check daily for creo- sote build-up until experience shows how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the fire the less creosote is deposited, and weekly cleaning may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in the cold- est months.
Cleaning of smoke chicane Remove the smoke convert- er plate by tilting it to one side and turning it a little slantwise. Pull out the plate carefully. Then remove the smoke impediment by lifting it up and moving it forward. Carefully lift out the smoke impedi- ment.
