Installation
It is prohibited to carry out unauthorised alterations to the stove.
There must be plenty of fresh air in the room where the stove is being installed, in
order to ensure proper combustion. Note that any mechanical exhaust ventilation ­
e.g. an extraction hood ­ may reduce the air supply. Any air grilles must be placed
in such a manner, that the air supply is not blocked.
Building Regulations Approved Document J gives specific guidance on the required
permanent ventilation into the room for combustion air of solid fuel appliances.
The floor structure must be able to carry the weight of the wood burning stove, as
well as the weight of a chimney, if necessary.
When you choose where to set up your RAIS wood burning stove, you should
consider the heat distribution to the other rooms. This will enable you to get the best
use out of your stove.
The stove should be set up at a safe distance from inflammable materials.
See the manufacturer's plate on the wood burning stove.

and mortar to dry out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the
smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to
atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.
On completion of the installation and commissioning ensure that the operating
instructions for the stove are left with the customer. Ensure to advise the customer
