RAIS RINA Instructions For Installation, Use And Maintenance Manual page 23

ENGLISH RAIS ­ manual for Rais Rina & Rais Viva
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 generated by the closed stove.
In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will
have provided 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.
Special Notes for use in a Smoke Control Area (Rais Q­Tee):
Refuelling on to a low fire bed
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a
sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in
a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable
kindling to prevent excessive smoke
Fuel overloading
The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded,
overloading can cause excess smoke.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not
be operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the
instructions.
Dampers left open
Operation with the air controls or dampers open can cause excess smoke. The
appliance must not be operated with air controls or dampers door left open except
as directed in the instructions.
Periods of Prolonged 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.
Extractor fan
There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can
cause the stove to emit smoke and fumes into the room.
Aerosol sprays
Do not use an aerosol spray on or near the stove when it is alight.
Use of operating tools
Always use the operating tools provided when handling parts likely to be hot when
the stove is in use.
