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.

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’).

Chimney
Thechimneyisthedrivingforcewhichmakesthestovefunction.Inorderforthestoveto
performsatisfactorilythechimneyheightmustbesufficienttoensurethecorrectdraught
of14to18Pa,soastocleartheproductsofcombustionandpreventproblemsofsmoke
leakingintotheroomwhenthestoveislit.
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BS5854:1980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theBuildingRegulationsApprovedDocumentJ.
Iftheinstallationisintoanexistingchimney,thenitmustbesoundandhavenocracksor
otherfaultswhichmay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x230mm.
Remedialactionshouldbetakenifrequired,expertadviceshouldbesoughtwhere
required.
Ifthechimneyrequireslining,thenasuitablesolidfuelfluelinermustbeused,in
accordancewithBuildingRegulationsApprovedDocumentJ.
Anyexistingchimneymustbeclearofobstructionandshouldhavebeensweptclean
immediatelybeforethe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eitheraprefabricatedblockchimney,inaccordance
withBuildingRegulationsApprovedDocumentJoratwinwallinsulatedstainlesssteel
fluetoBS4543canbeused.Thesechimneysmustbefittedinaccordancewiththe
manufacturer’sinstructionsandtheBuildingRegulations.
Asinglewallmetalfluepipeissuitableforconnectingthestovetothechimneybutis
notsuitableforusingforthecompletechimney.Thechimneyand
connectingfluepipemusthaveaminimumdiameterof150mmandit’s
dimensionshouldbenotlessthanthesizeoftheoutletsocketofthestovewhichis
150mm.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eitheranadjustable
fluedamperoralternativelyadraughtstabilisershouldbefitted.Theadjustableflue
dampershouldnotcloseofftheflueentirely,butshouldinitsclosedpositionleavea
minimumcontinuousopeningfreeareaofatleast20%ofthetotalcrosssectional
areaoftheflueorfluepipe.
Adequateprovisione.g.easilyaccessiblesootdoorordoorsmustbeprovidedfor
sweepingthechimneyandconnectingfluepipe.
Youshouldalsofamiliariseyourselfwiththedraughtconditionsforchimneyswith2
flues.
Forstrongdraughts,thechimneyorflueshouldbefittedwithadraughtstabiliser.In
whichcase,itisimportanttoensurethatthereisafreeflowthroughareaofminimum
20cm
2 whentheregulatinggateisshut.Otherwise,thefuelenergymaynotbeused
optimally.
If,atanytime,youareunsureabouttheconditionofthechimney,youshouldcontact
achimneysweep.
Rememberthataccesstothesootdoorshouldbekeptclear.

Installation
Itisprohibitedtocarryoutunauthorisedalterationstothestove.
Theremustbeplentyoffreshairintheroomwherethestoveisbeinginstalled,inorderto
ensurepropercombustion.Notethatanymechanicalexhaustventilatione.g.an
extractionhoodmayreducetheairsupply.Anyairgrillesmustbeplacedinsucha
manner,thattheairsupplyisnotblocked.
BuildingRegulationsApprovedDocumentJgivesspecificguidanceontherequired
permanentventilationintotheroomforcombustionairofsolidfuelappliances.
Thefloorstructuremustbeabletocarrytheweightofthewoodburningstove,aswellas
theweightofachimney,ifnecessary.
WhenyouchoosewheretosetupyourRAISwoodburningstove,youshouldconsiderthe
heatdistributiontotheotherrooms.Thiswillenableyoutogetthebestuseoutofyour
stove.
Thestoveshouldbesetupatasafedistancefrominflammablematerials.
