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. 

To make the most of your wood burning stove it is important that you read the manual 
thoroughly before installing and using it. 

In the case of warranty coverage, and for general queries regarding your wood     burn­ 
ing stove, it is important that you know the stove’s production number. 
We therefore recommend that you note down the number in the table below. 
The production number is located in the top of the convection box.

These are available to order from your local Rais dealer / stockist. 

Any alterations made to the stove will void the warranty.
