6 ENGLISH RAIS - manual for SIRA & SIRA SOAPSTONE 7 ENGLISH RAIS - manual for SIRA & SIRA SOAPSTONE Convection RAIS stoves are convection stoves. This means that the stove’s back and side panels are not over-heated. Convection means that there is a circulation of air, which ensures that the heat is distributed more evenly throughout the entire room. The cold air is drawn in at the base of the stove up through the convection channel, which runs along the stove’s combustion chamber. The heated air pours out at the top of the stove, which ensures a circulation of warm air throughout the room....

NOTE: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney should be satisfactory. Alternatively the calculation...

This air, which is cold, is only used in the lighting stage. Secondary air is the air which is added in the gas combustion zone, i.e. air which contributes to the combustion of the pyrolysis gases...

22 ENGLISH RAIS - manual for SIRA & SIRA SOAPSTONE 23 ENGLISH RAIS - manual for SIRA & SIRA SOAPSTONE First usage A careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get accustomed 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 from the surface of the stove, the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and materials need to harden. The odour disappears quickly, but you should check the ventilation and draught, if possible. See also, the...

This means that there definitely is a draught in the chimney and you avoid smoke in the room. To light the stove, use alcohol briquettes or similar,...
