Safety and Environmental Testing
The RAIS Classic Series stoves have been tested by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. of
Beaverton, Oregon and are listed to UL 1482 and ULC S627. They are EPA exempt as
cook stoves.
Features and Items Included
Your RAIS has a built in convection system, so the sides do not get very hot. It also
creates air circulation in the room, to spread the heat faster and more evenly.
The RAIS 4 and RAIS 106 models have unique sliding doors - a RAIS specialty, which
enables you to operate them closed as a stove or open with a screen as a fireplace.
Included with the RAIS stove (in the firebox) are:
•
Flue collar with 3 bolts/nuts (to connect to stove/pipe)
•
An oven mitt and oven thermometer
•
A box of RAIS starter matches
•
Heat protective door handles
•
Smoke plate hook (RAIS 4 and RAIS 106 only)
•
A can of touch-up paint (Remove from the stove!)

PLEASE CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR INSTALLATION

Consult your local Building Inspector or Fire Marshall before installation to
determine the need to obtain a permit. Also inquire about restrictions and
installation inspection requirements in your area.
If utilizing an existing chimney, it is suggested that you have a professional mason or stove
installer do a complete check-up of your chimney, liner, and flue.
In order for the stove to work and draw properly, sufficient air is important! Be especially
aware of any mechanical fans (e.g. kitchen or bathroom) that may affect the proper draw.
