If it is found that there is excessive draught in the chimney then either an adjustable
flue damper or alternatively a draught stabiliser should be fitted. The adjustable flue
damper should not close off the flue entirely but should in its closed position leave a
minimum continuous opening free area of at least 20 % of the total cross sectional
area of the flue or fluepipe.
Adequate provision e.g. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for
sweeping the chimney and connecting fluepipe.
You should also familiarise yourself with the draught conditions for chimneys with 2
flues.
The flue outlet spigot is either 150 mm (6”) in diameter, or 129 mm (5”) in diameter.
For strong draughts, the chimney or flue should be fitted with a draught stabiliser. In
which case, it is important to ensure that there is a free flow-through area of minimum
20 cm² when the regulating gate is shut. Otherwise, the fuel energy may not be used
optimally.
If, at any time, you are unsure about the condition of the chimney, you should contact
a chimney sweep.
Remember that access to the access door should be kept clear.
Installation
The stove is a free standing stove and is placed on fireproof material.
This appliance may only be installed by a qualified Rais dealer/installer, otherwise the
warranty is voided.
When installing the appliance, all local rules and regulations, including those referring
to national and European standards need to be complied with. Local authorities and a
chimney specialist should be contacted prior to set up.
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 - possibly through an airbox connection. Note that any
mechanical exhaust ventilation - e.g. an extraction hood - may reduce the air supply.
Any air grates must be placed in such a manner, that the air supply is not blocked.
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. If the existing floor construction doesn’t
meet this requirement, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall be taken to
achieve it. RAIS recommends to consult a building expert.
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.
Upon receiving the stove must be inspected for defects.
