INSTALLATION MANUAL
Congratulations on the acquisition of your new RAIS or
ATTIKA product! This installation 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.
IN GENERAL
It is important that the fire-place insert is correctly installed, in
consideration of the environment and people’s 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 the installation is started.
No unauthorised alterations may be made to the fireplace
insert.
GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Before the fireplace insert may be taken into use the
installation must be reported to your local chimney sweeper.
There must be a plentiful supply of fresh air in the installation
room to ensure good combustion – if required, through an
AirSystem connection. NB: Any mechanical air extraction, for
example a cooker hood, can minimise the supply of air. Any
air vent must be positioned in a way that ensures the supply
of air cannot be blocked.
The fireplace insert has an air consumption of 10–20 m
3
/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 fallen embers.
The fireplace insert must be positioned at a safe distance
from flammable material. Due to the risk of fire, flammable
items (e.g. furniture) may not be positioned closer to the
fireplace insert than the closest permitted distance stated in
the installation section. When deciding where you shall install
your RAIS/ATTIKA fireplace insert, you should think about
being able to heat other rooms in the home, so you get the
most out of your new fireplace insert.
When your fireplace insert is delivered, please check
it for any defects.
CHIMNEY
The chimney must be high enough to ensure that the chimney
draught conditions are correct, i.e. –14 to –18 pascal. If
the recommended chimney draught cannot be achieved,
problems from smoke escaping from the door may arise when
lighting the fire. We recommend that the chimney is adapted
to suit the flue outlet spigot. The flue outlet spigot is 150 mm
in diameter.
If the draught is excessive, it is recommended that you equip
the chimney with a regulating damper. If a regulating damper
is fitted, you must ensure that there is a free flow area of at
least 20 cm² at the closed regulating damper.
Remember that there must be free 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 m and must be at
least 80 cm above the roof ridge. If the chimney is installed at
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 connecting to a shared flue
but we recommend that the in-feed is positioned so that there
is a free-height difference between them of at least 250 mm.
NB!
RAIS/ATTIKA recommends that the fireplace insert is
installed by an authorised technician. Please ask your
dealer for further information.
