Installation

this appliance may only be installed by a qualified Rais dealer/installer, otherwise the war-
ranty 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 chim-
ney 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 ex-
traction 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.
