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.
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.
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.
PleaseNote,thisappliancehasbeentestedbythemanufacturersandworksona3m
straightflue.
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

Dryingandstorage
Dryingwoodtakestime:properairdryingtakesapproximately2years.
Herearesometips:
Storethewoodsawn,splitandstackedinanairy,sunnyplace,whichisprotectedagainst
rain(thesouthsideofthehouseisparticularlysuitable).
Storethefirewoodstacksatahand'sbreadthapart,asthisensuresthattheairflowing
throughtakesthemoisturewithit.Avoidcoveringthefirewoodstackswithplastic,asthis
preventsthemoisturefromescaping.Itisagoodideatobringthefirewoodintothehouse
23daysbeforeyouneedit.
Regulatingthecombustionair
AllRAISstovesareequippedwithaonehandedoperatingleverforregulatingthedamper.
Thestovespecificregulatingmechanismscanbeseenonthediagrams.
Primaryairisthecombustionairaddedtotheprimarycombustionzone,i.e.thebedof
glowingembers.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gasses(preheatedair,whichisusedforthecleanerglass
systemandcombustion).Thisairissuckedthroughthedamperunderthecombustion
chamberandispreheatedthroughthesidechannelsandthenemittedashotscavenging
airontotheglass.Thehotairrinsestheglassandkeepsitsootfree.
Thetertiarychannel,whichcanbeseenatthetopofthecombustionchambertowardsthe
back,servestocombustthefinalgasresidues.
Bysettingtheintervalbetweenposition1and2,theenergycontentinthefirewoodisused
optimally,asthereisoxygenforcombustionandfortheburningofthepyrolysisgasses.
Whentheflamesareaclearyellowthedamperhasbeensetcorrectly.Findingthecorrect
positioncomeswithtimeafteryouhaveusedforstoveforawhile.
Itisnotrecommendedthatyouturnitdowncompletely.Amistakecommonlymadeis
shuttingthedampertooearlybecauseitfeelstoohot.Thisresultsindarksmokeemanating
fromthechimneyandinthecalorificvalueofthefirewoodnotbeingusedtoitsfullest.
Roomventilationandstoves
Theremustnotbeanextractorfanfittedinthesameroomasthestoveasthiscancause
thestovetoemitsmokeandfumesintotheroom.
Thestoverequiresapermanentandadequateairsupplyinorderforittooperatesafelyand
efficiently.
InaccordancewithcurrentBuildingRegulationstheinstallermayhavefittedapermanentair
supplyventintotheroominwhichthestoveisinstalledtoprovidecombustionair.Thisair
ventshouldnotunderanycircumstancesbeshutofforsealed.
COAlarm
YourinstallershouldhavefittedaCOalarminthesameroomastheappliance.Ifthealarm
soundsunexpectedly,followtheinstructionsgivenunder“ImportantWarningNote”on

Usingthewoodburningstove
Adjustingtheairdamper.Thedamperhas3settings.
Position1
Thedamperisalmostclosedmeaning
thatthereisa
minimalairintake.
Position2
Pulltheleveruntilthefirstclick.Thispositiongivesfullsecondaryair.
Duringnormalusetheleverissetbetweenposition1and2.
Whentheflamesareclearandyellow,thedamperissetcorrectly,
i.e.resultinginaslow/optimalburning.
Position3
Pulltheleveruntilthenextclick.
Theairdamperiscompletelyopenandgivesfull
primaryandsecondaryair.Thispositionisforthelightingstageand
isnotusedundernormaloperation.
Control
Iftheashiswhiteandthewallsinthecombustionchamberaresootfreeafterthestove
hasbeenused,theairregulationwassetcorrectlyandthewoodwassufficientlydry.
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IMPORTANTwarningnoticebelow
aboutpersistentfumes.
Duringthisprocessyoumustbecarefulnottotouchthepaintedsurfaces,anditis
recommendedthatyouregularlyopenandclosethedoortopreventthedoorsealfrom
sticking.
Thestovemayalsoproduce"clickingnoises"duringheatingandcooling,causedbythe
largetemperaturedifferenceswhichthematerialissubjectedto.
Neveruseanytypeofliquidfuelforkindlingormaintainingthefire.Youcouldbeatrisk
ofexplosion.
