Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a RAIS wood burning stove.
A RAIS wood burning stove is more than just a heat source: it also shows that you care
about design and quality in your home.
To make the most of your wood burning stove it is important that you read the manual
thoroughly, before installing and using it.
In the case of warranty coverage, and for general queries regarding your wood burning
stove, it is important that you know the stove’s production number.
We therefore recommend that you note down the number in the table below. The pro-
duction number is located on the back of the stove at the bottom.
Warranty
Your RAIS wood burning stove comes with a 5 year warranty. The warranty, however,
does not cover heat-insulating materials, glass and seals.
Any alterations made to the stove will void the warranty.

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 a “cold” lever – 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.

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.
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 and BS EN 15287-1.
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 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”).

ENGLISH RAIS - Manual for RAIS RIVA
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 calculation
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 chim-
ney 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 immediately
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 manufacturer’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 con-
necting 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.

ENGLISH RAIS - Manual for RAIS RIVA
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.
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
When installing the wood burning stove, there are some rules which MUST be followed:
The stove must be set up and installed in accordance with all current national and local
rules and regulations. Local authorities and a chimney specialist should be contacted prior
to set up.
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 wall 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.
