Installation

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. 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. Alternatively, the stove is supplied with
fresh air directly from the outside through a flex tube fitted to the damper (see section
'Airsystem').
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.
The stove is placed on fireproof material.
The stove should be set up at a safe distance from inflammable materials.
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.
See the manufacturer's plate on the wood burning stove.
Upon receiving the stove must be inspected for defects.

Installation distances

To determine whether the wall next to where the stove is going to be installed is flam-
mable, you should contact your building contractor or the local building authorities.
The hearth should be able to accommodate the weight of the stove. The chimney must
be independently supported by wall brackets or a ceiling support plate. The weight of
the stove is indicated in the brochure.
The stove should always be installed on a non-combustible hearth of a size and con-
struction that is in accordance with the provisions of the current UK Building Regula-
tions Approved Document J.
If the stove is to be installed on a wooden floor, it must be covered with a non-com-
bustible material at least 12 mm thick, in accordance with UK Building Regulations
Approved Document J, to at distance of 225 mm in front of the stove and 150 mm to
each side measuring from the door of the combustion chamber.
The clearance distances to combustible material beneath, surrounding or upon the
hearth and walls adjacent to the hearth should comply with the guidance on the sepa-
ration of combustible material given in UK Building Regulations Approved Document J
and also in these stove instructions.
It must be ensured that no combustible objects (eg. furniture) are placed closer than
the distances given in the following tables (risk of fire).
