Low draught in chimney
could be caused by
• temperature difference is to small, e.g. due to poorely insulated fluepipe
• outdoor temperature is high e.g.in the summer
• no wind
• chimney is too short or is on the lee side
• false air draught in chimney
• chimney or flue pipe is blocked
• high-density housing (lack of fresh air intake)
• negative smoke draught (poor condition)
In case of cold chimney or difficult weather conditions you can compensate by adding
more fresh air (open the damper) to the stove than usual.
If your stove continues to malfunction, we recommend that you contact your RAIS dis-
tributor or chimney sweep.
WARNING!
If incorrectly or too damp firewood is used, it can lead to excessive formation of soot in
the chimney and possible a chimney fire:
• in this case shut off all air supply from outside (if installed) to the stove
• contact the fire department
• never attempt to put out fire with water!
• afterwards, you should ask your chimney sweeper to check the stove and chimney
IMPORTANT!
• to ensure safe burning there must be clear yellow flames or clear embers at all times.
• the firewood should not be smouldering.
If the firewood is only burning slowly without flames or is smoking, and too little air is
added, unburned exhaust gasses are developed.
Exhaust gasses can be ignited and explode, leading to damage to material and possibly
personal injury.
Never close the air supply completely when lighting a fire.in the stove.
