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.
The stove is equipped with four convection air outlets, which may be connected with
suit­able air ducts to other rooms.
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.
