Insufficient draught in the chimney
Possible cause:
• the temperature difference is too small, for instance, because of poorly insulated chimney
• the outside temperature is high, e.g. in summer time
• there is no wind
• chimney is too low and sheltered
• false air in the chimney
• clogged chimney and flue
• the house is too close (insufficient supply of outdoor air).
• negative smoke extraction (poor draught conditions)
With cold chimney or severe weather conditions, the poor draught can be compensated by sup-
plying the stove with
more air than usual.
If the malfunction persists, we recommend that you contact your RAIS dealer or
the chimney sweep.
WARNING!
If the firewood is damp or used incorrectly, it can lead to excessive formation of soot in
the chimney and cause a chimney fire:
• In this case, shut off all air supply from outside (if a valve connection is installed) to the
stove
• contact the fire department
• never attempt to extinct the fire with water!
• afterwards, you should ask your chimney sweeper to check the stove and chimney
IMPORTANT!
• in order to make sure that burning is safe, flames must be yellow or embers clear at all
times
• the firewood should not be smouldering.
