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 advices 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.
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.

US English User Manual Q-Tee II USA / Q-Tee II C USA
Chimney
RAIS stoves must be installed using a Class A UL 103 HT approved factory-built chimney
system or a code-approved masonry chimney with a flue liner. In Canada, the appliance
must be connected to a factory-built chimney conforming to CAN/ULC-S629.
The chimney pipe must be 6” in diameter.
The chimney must extend through the roof at least 3’ (1m), and 2’ (.6m) above any
structure within 10’ (3m).
The condition and height of the chimney are very important for optimal use of the
stove and we recommend a total minimum height of 10’ (3m).
Note the chimney connector pipe should not pass through an attic, roof space, closet,
concealed space, floor or ceiling.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney flue or air distribution duct or any system serv-
ing another appliance.
Each chimney connector or stove pipe section, must be installed to each other with the
crimped end toward the stove. This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creo-
sote from running down the outside of the pipe or the stove top.
Fasten the connector pipe to the flue collar with 3 self tapping/drilling screws through
the holes in the flue collar.

For rear venting or other unlisted configura-
tions, consult the local building codes and
follow the NFPA 211 guidelines.
If the stovepipe is fitted with a baffle, it
must be manually operated, visibly placed
for ease of use, and must not close com-
pletely. Consult your chimney expert if you
have any questions.
Important note:
Please ensure that there is easy access to
the chimney cleanout door.
For venting vertically into a Class A chimney, a single
wall pipe (at least 24 gauge) may be used in the room
where the stove is installed. Refer to the manufac-
turer’s instructions for the connection to the listed
chimney. The chimney/stove pipe must not be smaller
than 6” (15cm) in diameter.
For venting directly into a masonry chimney or
through a thimble, the top of the single wall pipe
must be at least 18” (46cm) below a combustible
ceiling and must conform to NFPA 211 guidelines and
methods. Please see the diagram to the left.

Installation
Precautions and Specifications
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.
Installation WITH or WITHOUT pedestal.
An optional pedestal base is available for use with the Q-Tee II USA (838040590 High
socket complete) and the Q-Tee II C USA (834051090 )
Warning: Floor protection requirements specified in this manual are different de-
pending on whether the appliance is installed with or without the optional base.
When installed WITHOUT optional base.
The floor protection plate must lie under the stove and extend 24” (61cm) (30” 76cm
in Canada) in front of the stove door, 8” (20cm) beyond the sides of the fuel-loading
door, and under the pipe and 2” (5cm) beyond each side for back venting. in front of
the stove door, an 8” (20cm) floor protection is required beyond the sides of the stove
and in the back of the stove (0” in the back for the US). The floor protection needed on
the floor when used WITHOUT the base is required to have thermal protection with an
R value of 3.19 Btu*in/Hrs*ft2*°F (equal to 0.46 w/mk in SI units).
IFTHIS STOVE IS NOT INSTALLED
PROPERLY, AHOME FIRE MAY RE-
SULT. TOREDUCE THIS RISK, PLEASE
FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR INSTAL-
LATION CAREFULLY.

When installed WITH optional base.
The floor protection plate must lie under the stove and extend 16” (11cm) (18” (45cm)
in Canada) in front of the stove door, 8” (20cm) beyond the sides of the fuel-loading
door, and under the pipe and 2” (5cm) beyond each side for back venting. In Canada,
an 8” (20cm) floor protection is required beyond the sides of the stove and in the back
of the stove (0” in the back for the US). The floor protection needed on the floor when
used WITH the optional pedestal base, is not required to have thermal protection (R=0).
Make sure that the floor and the sub-floor of the room in which the stove is installed is
designed to carry the extra weight of the stove. The floor protector plate must be made
of a non-combustible material.
When deciding where to install your stove, the heat distribution to other rooms should
be taken into consideration. Put the stove at a safe distance from combustible materi-
als; see the references at the name tag of the stove.
