Lighting And Fuelling - RAIS Palo Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual

Lighting and fuelling

To light the stove, use alcohol briquettes or
similar, as well as approximately 2kg of
firewood, split into kindling sticks. Set the air
damper to the fully open position.
It is important that the Air-Kit system
airtight flap, located at the rear of the stove
(if fitted), is always opened prior to lighting
the stove.
Tips before firing up:
Open a door or window close to the wood
burning stove.
If there is 'storm' in the stove coming from the
chimney it is advisable to place a screwed up
piece of newspaper between the upper baffle
plate and the chimney. Light the paper and
wait until you hear a 'rumbling' noise in the
chimney. This means that there is definitely a
draught in the chimney and you should avoid
smoke coming back into the room.
Light the fire and shut the
door, leave the door ajar
approximately 10-15mm.
