Carbon monoxide detectors

Normal activity of loading fuel could result in emissions of smoke. It might be neces-
sary to move carbon monoxide detectors, if they are triggered during normal useage
of the stove.

Control

If the ashes are white and the combustion chamber walls not covered with soot, the
air adjustment has been correct and the wood sufficiently dry.

First Fire

Your new RAIS should be broken into gently for top performance and to prevent
paint damage, cracks in the firebrick, and excessive wear and tear. Start with a
small fire (never overload the firebox) to allow the materials to get accustomed to the
higher temperatures, and then gradually increase the intensity. Use up to a maxi-
mum of two logs.
For the first few fires you may detect a strange smell that comes from heat treating
the paint and materials. This is normal and will soon disappear. Just ensure there is
plenty of fresh air in the room. Furthermore, during the initial heating up and cooling
down, the metal may emanate some clicking sounds due to being exposed to the
large differences in temperature. This is normal as well.
For wood to burn properly, the right amount of air has to be supplied at the right time
and place.

Cold handle

23
If the stove is supplied with a loose "cold" handle
cover, which enables you to operate the handle
without the use of a glove. Please note that one must
always be very careful when touching any other part
of the stove while it is still hot.
The loose cold handle cover is placed over the door
handle.
when not in use, place the cold handle cover in its
resting position on the magnetic holder supplied with
the stove.
