INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for choosing your new RAIS or
ATTIKA product. This installation instructions
manual will ensure that your fireplace insert
is installed correctly and that it will provide
you with comfort and pleasure for many
years to come.
IN GENERAL
It is important to correctly install the
fireplace insert out of consideration for both
the environment and personal safety.
The installation must comply with all local
rules and regulations, including those that
refer to national and European standards.
A certified chimney sweeper should be
contacted before the installation is started.
No unauthorised alterations may be made to
the fireplace insert.
GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Before the fireplace insert may be put to use,
the installation must be reported to your
local chimney sweeper.
There must be a plentiful supply of fresh
air in the installation room to ensure good
combustion ifrequired, through anAirSystem
connection. Be aware that any mechanical air
extraction, for example a cooker hood, can
reduce the supply of air. Any air vent must be
positioned in a way that ensures the supply
of air cannot be blocked.
The fireplace insert has an air consumption
of 16 m3/h.
The floor structure must be able to support
the weight of the fireplace insert and a
chimney, if required. If the existing floor
structure does not meet this requirement,
suitable measures must be taken (e.g.
installation of a load distribution plate). If in
doubt, contact a building expert.
National and local regulations must be
complied with, including the size of the
non-flammable plate that must cover the
flammable floor in front of the fireplace insert
to protect the floor from fallen embers.
The fireplace insert must be positioned at a
safe distance from flammable material. Due
to risk of fire, flammable items (e.g. furniture)
may not be positioned closer to the fireplace
insert than the closest permitted distance
stated in the installation sections. When
deciding where to install your RAIS/ATTIKA
fireplace insert, you should think about being
able to heat other rooms in the home, so you
get the most out of your new fireplace insert.
After receiving your fireplace insert, please
check it for any defects.
CHIMNEY
The chimney must be tall enough to ensure
correct draught conditions, i.e. -12 pascal
to -18 pascal. If the recommended chimney
draught cannot be achieved, problems
from smoke escaping from the door may
arise when lighting the fire. We recommend
adapting the chimney to suit the smoke
outlet spigot. The smoke outlet spigot is 150
mm in diameter.
Ifthe draught is excessive, it is recommended
that you equip the chimney with a regulating
damper. If a regulating damper is fitted, you
must ensure that there is a free flow area
of at least 20 cm² at the closed regulating
damper.
Remember that there must be unobstructed
access to the access door on the chimney.
The length of the chimney, calculated from
the top of the fireplace insert should not
be less than 3 m and must be at least 80
cm above the roof ridge. If the chimney is
installed at the side of the house, the top of
the chimney must never be lower than the
roof ridge or the roof’s highest point.
Note that there are often national and local
regulations relating to houses with thatched
roofs.
The fireplace insert is suitable for connecting
to a shared flue but we recommend that the
in-feed is positioned so that there is a free-
height difference between them of at least
250 mm
