INSTALLATIONINSTRUCTIONS
Thefollowingpagesgiveinstructionsforthesafeandproperinstallationofthisheating
applianceintheUK.Theseinstructionscoverthebasicprinciplesofinstallation,
althoughsomedetailsmayneedslightmodificationtosuitparticularlocalsiteconditions.
InallcasestheinstallationmustcomplywithcurrentUKBuildingRegulations,Local
AuthorityByelawsandotherspecificationsorregulationsastheyaffecttheinstallationof
thestove.
PleasenotethatitisalegalrequirementunderEnglandandWalesBuildingRegulations
thattheinstallationofthestoveiseithercarriedoutunderlocalAuthorityBuilding
ControlapprovalorisinstalledbyaCompetentPersonregisteredwithaGovernment
approvedCompetentPersonsScheme.HETASoperatesuchaschemeandalistingof
theirregisteredCompetentPersonscanbefoundontheirwebsiteatwww.hetas.co.uk.
ItshouldbenotedthatthecurrentBuildingRegulationsrequirementsaregivenin
ApprovedDocumentJ.Theserequirementsmayalsobemetbyadoptingtherelevant
recommendationsgiveninBritishStandardsBS8303,BSEN152871:2007.
WARNING.HealthandSafetyAdviceNotice.
TheinstallationofthisheatingapplianceisgovernedbytheHealthandSafetyatWork
Act1974.itistheresponsibilityoftheinstallertoensurethatallrequirementsofthisAct
aremetduringtheinstallationworks.Attentionisdrawninparticulartothefollowing:
Handling: Theapplianceisaheavyitemandadequatefacilitiesmustbeavailable
forloading,unloadingandsitehandling.
FireCement: Sometypesoffirecementarecausticandshouldnotbeallowedtocome
intocontactwiththeskin.Protectiveglovesshouldbewornwhen
handlingfirecement.Incaseofcontactwiththeskin,washimmediately
withplentyofwater.
Asbestos: Thisstovecontainsnoasbestos.Ifthereisapossibilityofdisturbingany
asbestosinthecourseoftheinstallation,thenpleaseseekspecialist
guidanceanduseappropriateprotectiveequipment.
MetalParts: Wheninstallingorservicingthisstovecareshouldbetakentoavoidthe
possibilityofpersonalinjury.
ImportantWarning  PreparatoryWorkandsafetyChecks:
· Thisstovemustnotbeinstalledintoachimneywhichservesanyotherheating
appliance.
· Theremustnotbeanextractorfanfittedinthesameroomasthestove,asthiscan
causethestovetoemitfumesintotheroom.
· Ifthisapplianceisinstalledintoanexistingchimney,thechimneymustfirstbe
sweptandexaminedforsoundnessandsuitability,beforetheapplianceisinstalled
(seealsosectionheaded‘Chimney’).

Thestovesareequippedwithcooldoorhandles  aRaisspecialfeature whichmeans
youcouldalmostdoawaywithgloves.Beaware,however,thatallexteriorsurfaces
becomehotduringuse  sotakeextremecare.
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suckedinat
thebaseofthestoveandupthroughtheconvectionchannel,whichrunsalongthe
stove’scombustionchamber.Theheatedaircomesoutatthetopofthestove,which
ensuresacirculationofwarmairthroughouttheroom.
Chimney
Inorderforthestovetoperformsatisfactorilythechimneyheightmustbesufficientto
ensureanadequatedraughtofapproximately15Pasoastocleartheproductsof
combustionandpreventsmokeproblemsinto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
proceduregiveninEN133841maybeusedasthebasisfordecidingwhethera
particularchimneydesignwillprovidesufficientdraught.
Theoutletfromthechimneyshouldbeabovetheroofofthebuildinginaccordancewith
theprovisionsofBuildingRegulationsApprovedDocumentJ.
Ifinstallationisintoanexistingchimneythenitmustbesoundandhavenocracksor
otherfaultswhichmightallowfumesintothehouse.Olderproperties,especially,may
havechimneyfaultsorthecrosssectionmaybetoolargei.e.morethan230mmx230
mm.Remedialactionshouldbetaken,ifrequired,seekingexpertadvice,ifnecessary.Ifit
isfoundnecessarytolinethechimneythenafluelinersuitableforsolidfuelmustbeused
inaccordancewithBuildingRegulationsApprovedDocumentJ.
Anyexistingchimneymustbeclearofobstructionandhavebeensweptclean
immediatelybeforeinstallationofthestove.Ifthestoveisfittedinplaceofanopenfire
thenthechimneyshouldbesweptonemonthafterinstallationtoclearanysootfalls
whichmayhaveoccurredduetothedifferenceincombustionbetweenthestoveandthe
openfire.
Ifthereisnoexistingchimneythenanynewsystemmustbetothedesignation
describedaboveandinaccordancewithBuildingRegulationsApprovedDocumentJ.
Asinglewallmetalfluepipeissuitableforconnectingthestovetothechimneybutisnot
suitableforuseasthecompletechimney.Thechimneyandconnectingfluepipemust
haveaminimumdiameterof150mmanditsdimensionshouldbenotlessthanthesize
oftheoutletsocketofthestove.

Anybendinthechimneyorconnectingfluepipeshouldnotexceed45°.
90°bendsshouldnotbeused.
Combustiblematerialshouldnotbelocatedwheretheheatdissipatingthroughthe
wallsoffireplacesorfluescouldigniteit.Thereforewheninstallingthestoveinthe
presenceofcombustiblematerialsdueaccountmustbetakenoftheguidanceonthe
separationofcombustiblematerialgiveninBuildingRegulationsApprovedDocument
Jandalsointhesestoveinstructions.
Ifitisfoundthatthereisexcessivedraughtinthechimneythenadraughtstabiliser
shouldbefitted.Fittingofadraughtstabiliserwillaffecttherequirementforthe
permanentairsupplyintotheroominwhichthestoveisfittedinaccordancewith
ApprovedDocumentJ(seealsocombustionairsupply).
Adequateprovisione.g.easilyaccessiblesootdoorordoorsmustbeprovidedfor
sweepingthechimneyandconnectingfluepipewhereitisnotintendedforthe
chimneytobesweptthroughtheappliance.
ChimneyFires
Ifthechimneyisthoroughlyandregularlyswept,chimneyfiresshouldnotoccur.
However,ifachimneyfiredoesoccurturnoffthestoveimmediatelyandisolatethe
mainselectricitysupply(ifapplicable),andtightlyclosethedoorsofthestove.This
shouldcausethechimneyfiretogoout.Ifthechimneyfiredoesnotgooutwhenthe
aboveactionistakenthenthefirebrigadeshouldbecalledimmediately.Donotrelight
thestoveuntilthechimneyandfluewayshavebeencleanedandexaminedbya
professional.
