Installation Distance - RAIS 700 User Manual

ENGLISH RAIS - manual for RAIS 700
Installation distance in case of combustible wall
To find out whether the wall next to where the stove is going to be installed is flammable,
you should contact your building contractor or the local building authorities.
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove. The chimney must
be independently supported by wall brackets or a ceiling support plate. The weight of the
stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should always be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and construc-
tion that is in accordance with the provisions of the current UK Building Regulations Ap-
proved Document J.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a noncombustible
material at least 12mm thick, in accordance with UK Building Regulations Approved Docu-
ment J, to a distance of 300 mm in front of the stove and 150 mm to each side measuring
from the door of the combustion chamber.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the hearth
and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the separation of
combustible material given in UK Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in
these stove instructions.
For the Installer
Finally before firing the stove for the first time a check should be made to ensure that the
assembly and stove installation has been satisfactory and that there are no leaks in any
seals in the appliance and appliance connections to the chimney.
Ensure that the appliance and chimney flue are functioning correctly before finally hand-
ing over to the user. If necessary read the later parts of this manual for guidance on care
required when first lighting.
Inform the user that the appliance has been commissioned and ready to use and give
instruction on the safe operation of the stove.
These Instructions must be left with the user and the user should be instructed to keep
them in a safe place.
