ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-2016Using the wood burning stoveAdjustment of the air damper - the damper has 3 settingsPosition 1The damper is almost closed meaning that there is a minimal air intake.Position 2Pull the lever until first click. This position gives full secondary air.During normal stoking the lever is set between position 1 and 2.When the flames are clear and yellow, the damper is set correcly, i.e. resulting in a slow/optimal burning.Position 3Pull the lever until next click.The air damper is completely open and gives full primary and secondary air. The position isfor the lighting stage and is not used under normal operation.ControlIf the ash is white and the walls in the combustion chamber sott-free after the stove hasbeen used, the air regulation was set correctly and the wood was sufficiently dry.First usageA careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can getaccustomed 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 fromthe surface of the stove, the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and materi-als need to harden. The odour disappears quickly, but you should check the ventilationand draught, if possible. See also, the IMPORTANT warning notice below about persistentfumes.During this process you must be careful not to touch the painted surfaces, and it is recom-mended 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 thelarge 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 riskof explosion.The stove gets very hot when in use always wear protective gloves when tending thestove.If the stove has not been used for a while, follow the steps as if you were using it for thefirst time.
