INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for choosing your new RAIS or
ATTIKA product! This installation instructions
manual will ensure that your fireplace insert
is installed correctly and that it will provide
you with comfort and pleasure for many
years to come.
GENERAL INFORMATION
It is important to correctly install the
fireplace insert out of consideration for both
the environment and personal safety.
The installation must comply with all local
rules and regulations, including those that
refer to national and European standards.
A certified chimney sweeper should be
contacted before set-up.
No unauthorised alterations may be made to
the fireplace insert.
GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Before the fireplace insert may be put to use,
the set-up must be reported to your local
chimney sweeper.
There must be a plentiful supply of fresh air
into the room where the insert is placed to
ensure good combustion, possibly through
an AirSystem connection. Be aware that
any mechanical air extraction, for example
a cooker hood, can reduce the supply of air.
Any air vent must be positioned in a way that
ensures the supply of air cannot be blocked.
The air consumption of the fireplace insert is
32 m
/h.

The floor structure must be able to support
the weight of the fireplace insert and a
chimney, if required. If the existing floor
structure does not meet this requirement,
suitable measures must be taken (e.g.
installation of a load distribution plate). If in
doubt, contact a building expert.
National and local regulations must be
complied with, including the size of the
non-flammable plate that must cover the
flammable floor in front of the fireplace insert
to protect the floor from falling embers.
The fireplace insert must be positioned at a
safe distance from flammable material. Due

to risk of fire, flammable items (e.g. furniture)
may not be positioned closer to the insert
than specified in the sections on placement.
When deciding where to install your RAIS/
ATTIKA fireplace insert, you should consider
being able to heat other rooms in your home
to get the most out of your new fireplace
insert.
After receiving your fireplace insert, please
check it for any defects.
CHIMNEY
The chimney must be tall enough to ensure
correct draught conditions, i.e. -12 pascal
to -18 pascal. If the recommended chimney
draught cannot be achieved, problems of
smoke puffing from the door may arise
when heating. We recommend adapting the
chimney to the flue pipe collar. The collar is
200 mm in diameter.
If the draught is too strong, it is advisable to
equip the chimney with a regulating damper.
If a regulating damper is fitted, you must
ensure that there is a free flow-through
area of at least 20 cm² when the regulating
damper is closed.
Remember: there must be unobstructed
access to the access door on the chimney.
The length of the chimney, calculated from
the top of the fireplace insert should not
be less than 3 metres and must be at least
80 cm above the roof ridge. If the chimney
is placed on the side of the house, the top of
the chimney must never be lower than the
roof ridge or the roof's highest point.
Note that there are often national and local
regulations relating to houses with thatched
roofs.
The fireplace insert is suitable for being
connected to a shared flue, but we
recommend that the feed-ins are positioned
to maintain a clearance-level difference of at
least 250 mm between them.
Note!
RAIS/ATTIKA recommends having the in-
sert installed by an authorised technician.
Please ask your dealer for further informa-
tion.
