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.
In addition, make sure that the floor and sub-flooring is designed to carry the extra weight
of the stove.
The floor in front of the insert (if placed lower than 5” above ground) must be thermal
protected by a minimum of ½” (1cm) non-combustible material having a thermal
conductivity of k=0.84, where k=BTU in./hr. ft
2
°F (based on 1” thickness). To substitute
alternate material, you need to know the k value of that material. The formula to calculate
thickness in inches is (k of the alternate material / 0.84) x ½”.
When installing the insert, the heat distribution to other rooms should be taken into
consideration. The RAIS 60 Inserts have a heating capacity of approximately 1,076 ft²
(100m²) based on a standard ceiling height.
