ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY FIRE!
5 Eco friendly advices for sensible heating
- Environmentally and moneywise common sense.
1). Effective lighting. Use dry brushwood, kindling or a few cross pages of
newspapers.
Open the air control (plenty of air for the burning), to ensure that the
heated wood is burning rapidly.
2). Use only a little wood at time when burning - this gives the best combus
tion.
Remember plenty of air, each time new firewood is put into the oven.
3). The Air control should be adjusted when the flames blush down, to reduce
the air supply.
4). When only glowing charcoals remain, reduce the air-supply further, so heat
ing demand is just covered. With a lower air supply, charcoal will burn
slower and the heat loss through the chimney is reduced.
5). Use only dry wood - ie wood with a humidity of 15 to 22 percent.

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
detail 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 Ltd operate such a Scheme and a listing of their Reg-
istered 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 Ap-
proved Document J. These requirements may also be met by adopting the relevant recom-
mendations given in British Standards BS 8303, BS 6461 and BS 7566.
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 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 that serves any other heating appli-
ance.
• 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”).

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 up through the convection channel, which runs along the stove’s
combustion chamber. The heated air pours out at the top of the stove, which ensures a
circulation of warm air throughout the room.
The stoves are equipped with “cold” door handles – RAIS special feature – which means
you could almost do away with gloves. Be aware, however, that all exterior surfaces be-
come hot during use - so take extreme care.
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
emanating into the room when firing.
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 calcula-
tion procedure given in BS 5854:1980 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 immedi-
ately 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 either a prefabricated block chimney in accordance
with Building Regulations Approved Document J or a twin walled insulated stainless steel
flue to BS 4543 can be used. These chimneys must be fitted in accordance with the manu-
facturer’s instructions and 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 150 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size
of the outlet socket of the stove which is 150 mm in diameter. 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 sweep-
ing the chimney and connecting fluepipe.
You should also familiarise yourself with the draught conditions for chimneys with 2 flues.
The flue outlet spigot is 150 mm in diameter.
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 cm² 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 access 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 grates must be placed in such a man-
ner, that the air supply is not blocked.
The stove is equipped with four convection air outlets, which may be connected with suit-
able air ducts to other rooms.
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. See
the manufacturer’s plate on the wood burning stove.
Installation of stove:
NOTE:Decision to be taken concerning the placement of the inlets and outlets of the
convection system. The area requirements for convection holes to be kept.
Miscolouring of the wall above the doors and the convection air outlets may
occur due to raising hot air.
RAIS cannot take responsibility for building in or consequential damage.
The stove to be inspected for defects at receipt.

Lift the stove from the pallet to the place of installation on a suitable floor protection. The
stove can be mounted with rack and adjustable leg (buy accessories at your local RAIS
dealer)
The stove is aligned by adjusting screws, so the lower edge of the glass door is in horizon-
tal position and the surface of the door is vertical when the door is closed.
Remove the front plate and door from the stove. Be careful not to damage the glass on
the door. Protect the painted stove body against spray of cement and paint.
Install the uninsolated flue pipe on the flue outlet inside the convection box.
It is important that there are no leakage between the flue pipe and the stove. It is re-
commended to seal the connection by suitable gasket or compound.
Install the insulated flue pipe and connect to chimney.
Install fresh air inlet connection to the pipe stub if such is to be installed (if chosen).
If pipes are intended installed on the outlets of the convection system this is recommen-
ded before building further.
The stove is now ready for building into either panels or brick wall.
After establishing the wall and eventually painted, the fronts and covers are mounted
again. Remove all protective plastic and tape.
It is possible to deliver front panels in special measures if needed together with the stove.
Contact your local RAIS dealer.
NB!!
RAIS A/S recommends that the stove installed by a licensed/qualified
electrician.
Ask your deaker for details.
