The RAIS Malta and the RAIS Bora stoves come assembled. To add the Soapstone top plate on the RAIS Malta, remove the steel top plate and replace with the Soapstone top plate and the 2 bushings that are supplied. You may also just place the Soapstone top plate directly on top of the steel plate. -

Refer to the picture next page. Mount the special RAIS collar using the included hardware. When installing the first piece of pipe (at the stove), place the pipe over the collar, which is designed so any moisture or creosote will drip back into the stove and burn away. -
Page 7: Operating Instructions
Operating instructions First Fire Your new RAIS should be broken in gently for top performance and to prevent paint damage, cracks in the firebrick, and excessive wear and tear. Start with a small fire (never overload the firebox) to allow the materials to get accustomed to the higher temperatures, and then gradually increase the intensity. -
Page 8: Building The Fire
Basically, the primary air is used to start the fire, and the secondary air is used to maintain the fire. The RAIS Malta Series stoves are equipped with an air control handle on the right side just below the door. When the handle is pulled out all the way to Position 1, the primary air and secondary air are both fully open. -
Page 9: Check For A Proper Burn
Once the door is closed and burning correctly, the stove does not require supervision. The RAIS Malta Series was developed to an optimal thermal output of 23,900 BTU/hr (7 kW) with a water content of 18%, which corresponds to about 4½ lbs wood/hour. If the fire is fed more than recommended, there is a danger that the stove will be overloaded and might discolor. -

The outer surfaces can be wiped with a dry soft rag, and if needed, a small amount of mild detergent, but try not to scrub! Minor scratches and other surface damage can easily be touched up with the RAIS paint supplied with each stove. Remove any dirt, tar, and rust, and make sure repairs are made only when the stove is cool (room temperature). -

It is recommended to replace the door gaskets about every 2 years. When replacing the door gasket, make sure the door glass is not pressed too hard against the gasket. The gasket around the ash drawer can also be replaced as needed. Gaskets can be obtained from an authorized RAIS dealer. -
