IMPORTANT INFORMATION
On first lighting the stove you must be careful not to touch the painted
surfaces and it is MOST IMPORTANT that the door is kept slightly 'ajar' in
order for the door seal and sealant to cure.

damaged.

Page 4: Introduction
These appliances have been approved by HETAS as intermittent operating appliances for burning wood logs only. 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. -
Page 6: Convection
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 and up through the convection channel, which runs along the stove’s combustion chamber. -
Page 7: Installation Instructions
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 some details 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. -
Page 8: Chimney
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 leaking into the room when the stove is lit. - Page 9 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.

2-3 days before you need it. Regulating the combustion air All RAIS stoves are equipped with a one-handed operating lever for regulating the damper. The stove-specific regulating mechanisms can be seen on the diagrams. Primary air is the combustion air added to the primary combustion zone, i.e. the bed of glowing embers. -

Page 21: First Usage
First usage A careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get accustomed to the high temperature. This gives the best start and any damage is avoided. Be aware that a strange but harmless odour and smoke concoction may emanate from the surface of the stove, the first time you fire up. -
Page 22: Lighting And Fuelling
Lighting and fuelling To light the stove, use alcohol briquettes or similar, as well as approximately 2kg of firewood, split into kindling sticks. Set the air damper to the fully open position. It is important that the Air-Kit system airtight flap, located at the rear of the stove (if fitted), is always opened prior to lighting the stove. - Page 23 When the flames are clear, after approximately 5-10 minutes, close the door. Damper - see adjustment of the damper. After approximately 10-20 minutes, when you have a good bed of glowing embers, add 2-3 pieces of wood. Leave the door ajar until the fire has caught properly, then close the door.
