RECYCLING:
The oven is wrapped in packaging that is recyclable.
This must be disposed of according to national rules
regarding the disposal of waste.
The glass can not be reused.
The glass should be discarded along with the residual
waste from ceramics and porcelain.
Pyrex glass has a higher melting temperature and
therefore can not be reused.
If discarded you make an important positive contribution
to the environment.
FIRE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY!
5 Eco-friendly advice for sensible heating
- common sense both environmentally and economically.
1. Effective lighting. Use small pieces of wood (r tree) and a
suitable re lighter, for example parafned wood wool/saw-
dust. Open the air damper, so plenty of air is fed to the stove
and the gases from the heated wood can burn rapidly.
2. Light the re with only little wood at a time - this gives the
best combustion. Remember plenty of air for every time new
wood is added.
3. When the ames are diminished, adjust the air damper so
that the air supply is reduced.
4. When only glowing embers remain, air ow can be reduced
further, so heating demand is just covered. With a lower
air supply the 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 20%.

Convection
All RAIS stoves are convection stoves, which means that the sides of the stove never get
too hot. Convection works by pulling cold air into the system at the base of the stove
and up through the convection duct that is located along the combustion chamber of
the stove. The heated air is released from the top of the stove, creating rapid air circula-
tion in the room.
Warning:
CHILDREN AND ADULTS SHOULD BE ALERTED TO THE HAZARDS OF HIGH
SURFACE TEMPERATURES AND SHOULD STAY AWAY TO AVOID BURNS OR
CLOTHING IGNITION.
YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD BE CAREFULLY SUPERVISED WHEN THEY ARE IN THE
SAME ROOM AS THE APPLIANCE. TODDLERS, YOUNG CHILDREN AND OTHERS
MAY BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO ACCIDENTAL CONTACT BURNS. A PHYSICAL BARRIER IS
RECOMMENDED IF THERE ARE AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS IN THE HOUSE. TO RESTRICT
ACCESS TO A FIREPLACE, INSTALL AN ADJUSTABLE SAFETY GATE TO KEEP TODD-
LERS, YOUNG CHILDREN AND OTHER AT-RISK INDIVIDUALS OUT OF THE ROOM
AND AWAY FROM HOT SURFACES.
Glass and replacement of glass.
All RAIS stoves supplied with Robax® glass in the door. Robax® glass is a ceramic glass
type suitable for stoves. The glass is installed from RAIS as an integral part of the door
and stove.
Inspect the glass for cracks prior to the first fire.
Abuse may cause damage to the glass and door.
Do not strike the door or glass nor slam the door
Do not build the fire close to the glass or opening.
Do not use the stove if the glass is broken - contact your local authorized dealer.
In case of broken glass during use of stove - let the stove slowly burn the remaining
firewood under supervision. Do not close the chimney baffle if installed. Contact you
local authorized dealer
The glass is supplied as an integral part of the door for spare part. The Robax® glass
may only be replaced by genuine spare parts from RAIS. Do not use substitute material.
Replacement of the glass as separate component is only for authorized personnel.

Installation
Precautions and Specifications
IF THIS STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED PROPERLY, A HOME FIRE MAY RESULT. TO REDUCE
THE RISK, PLEASE CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLATION.
Before installation, remember to consult your local building inspector or fire marshal
to determine the need to obtain a permit. Also enquire about restrictions and installa-
tion inspection requirements in your area. If utilizing an existing chimney, it is recom-
mended that a professional mason or stove installer do a complete check-up of the
chimney, liner, and flue beforehand.
In order for the stove to work and draw properly, sufficient air supply is important. Be
especially aware of any mechanical fans (e.g. kitchen or bathroom exhaust systems)
that may affect the proper draw.
Do not use grates, andirons, or other fuel support methods. Build fire directly on
hearth.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue or air distribution duct or any system serv-
ing another appliance.
This fireplace insert must be installed with a continuous liner of 6” diameter extending
from the fireplace insert to the top of the chimney. The chimney liner must conform to
the class 3 requirements of CAN/ULC-S635, Standard for Lining Systems for Existing
Masonry or Factory-Built Chimneys and Vents, or CAN/ULC-S640, Standard for Lining
Systems for New Masonry Chimneys.
The existing fireplace valves MUST be locked in the open position.
Please ensure that there is easy access to the chimney cleanout door.
Do NOT connect this fireplace insert to a chimney serving another appliance!

Space requirements
This insert requires a free space of minimum 26”(660,4mm) in height, 15.5“
(393,7mm) in depth and with a width of 25” (635mm) to funktion propperbly, and
allow for convection air cirkulation. The insert will expand acording to the temperature
when it heats up, therefore there need to be some free space around the insert.
