Removing the Ashes
Remove the ashes into a non-combustible pail or tray.
Remember to leave some of the ashes in the firebox (about a 2”/5cm layer) for better
insulation!
DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
A SHES SHOULD BE PLACED IN A METAL CONTAINER WITH A TIGHT FITTING LID . T HE CLOSED
CONTAINER OF ASHES SHOULD BE PLACED ON A NONCOMBUSTIBLE FLOOR OR ON THE GROUND ,
WELL AWAY FROM ALL COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS , PENDING FINAL DISPOSAL .
I F THE ASHES ARE DISPOSED OF BY BURIAL IN SOIL OR OTHERWISE LOCALLY DISPERSED , THEY
SHOULD BE RETAINED IN THE CLOSED CONTAINER UNTIL ALL CINDERS HAVE THOROUGHLY
COOLED .
Cleaning the Smoke Box/Baffle System
Remove the baffle plate as described in the Assembly section. Brush the smoke box and
vacuum if necessary. Then put the baffle plate back in reverse order. Make sure it is
correctly in place and the top opening is fully closed.
Firebox Lining
The firebox bottom lining is made out of firebrick and the side lining is made out of
vermiculite slab insulation (skamol), which protects the outer steel plates from overheating.
With time small cracks might appear, and this is normal. If it breaks however, it must be
replaced. Vermiculite is a porous, high-insulating material and must therefore be handled
with care.
Gaskets
It is recommended to replace the door gaskets about every 2 years. When replacing the
door gasket, make sure the door glass is not pressed too hard against the gasket. The
gasket around the ash drawer can also be replaced as needed. Gaskets can be obtained
from an authorized RAIS dealer.
Trouble shooting
Problem Possible Cause/Solution
Smoke coming out of
the door
There may not be enough draft in the chimney (<0.06” WC
(<16 Pascals)). Check for an obstruction.
Soot on the glass Take care that the stove is warmed up sufficiently before
closing the door.
The stove is burning
too quickly
Check the door gaskets first and replace if needed. The
chimney could also be too high and thus create too much draft
(>0.09” WC (>22 Pascals)). A damper may be needed.
