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Ap

Fuel
ThestoveisdesignedandapprovedinaccordancewithEN13240andNS3058for
stokingsplit,driedfirewood.Thefirewoodmusthaveawatercontentof1522%andits
max.lengthshouldbethelengthofthecombustionchamberminus5060mm.
Stokingwithwetfirewoodcausesbothsoot,environmentalpollutionandbadfuel
economy.Freshlycutwoodcontainsapprox.5070%waterandisthoroughlyunsuitable
forstoking.Allowatleast1yearofstoragetimefornewlycutwoodbeforeusing.Wood
withadiameterofmorethan100mmshouldbesplit.Regardlessofwoodsize,itshould
alwayshaveatleastonesurfaceareafreeofbark.
Wedonotrecommendstokingwithpainted,laminatedorimpregnatedwood,woodwith
asyntheticsurface,paintedrefusewood,chipboard,plywood,domesticwaste,paper
briquettesandpitcoal,asthiswillproducemalodoroussmoke,whichcouldbe
poisonous.
Whenfiringwiththeabovementioneditemsandamountslargerthanthose
recommended,thestoveissubjectedtoalargeramountofheat,whichresultsina
higherchimneytemperatureandlowerefficiency.Thiscanresultinthestoveand

Thecalorificvalueofthefirewoodiscloselyconnectedtothemoisturelevel.
Moistfirewoodhasalowheatvalue.Themorewaterthewoodcontains,themore

ENGLISH RAISmanualforRais600&Rais80
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.
