Convection
All RAIS stoves are convection stoves, which means that the sides of the stove never get too
hot. Convection works by pulling cold air into the system at the base of the stove and up
through the convection duct that is located along the combustion chamber of the stove. The
heated air is released from the top of the stove, creating rapid air circulation in the room.
Glass and replacement of glass.
All RAIS stoves supplied with Robax® glass in the door. Robax® glass is a ceramic glass type
suitable for stoves. The glass is installed from RAIS as an integral part of the door and stove.
Inspect the glass for cracks prior to the rst re.
Abuse may cause damage to the glass and door.
Do not strike the door or glass nor slam the door
Do not build the re close to the glass or opening.
Do not use the stove if the glass is broken - contact your local authorized dealer.
In case of broken glass during use of stove - let the stove slowly burn the remaining rewood
under supervision. Do not close the chimney bae if installed. Contact you local authorized
dealer
The glass is supplied as an integral part of the door for spare part. The Robax® glass may only
be replaced by genuine spare parts from RAIS. Do not use substitute material. Replacement
of the glass as separate component is only for authorized personnel.

The stove is supplied with a loose “cold”handle cover,
which enables you to operate the handle without the use
of a glove. Please note that one must always be very careful
when touching any other part of the stove while it is still
hot.
The loose cold handle cover is placed over the door handle.
Open door: Turn the handle clockwise to stop and
pull out approx 1/4”until stop.
Turn handle counterclockwise to vertical
position and open the door.
Close door: Turn the handle to vertical position and
close door until stop.
Turn the handle clockwise to stop
position and push door lightly inwards
until stop.
Turn the handle counterclockwise until

Chimney
RAIS stoves must be installed using a Class A UL 103 HT approved factory-built chimney
system or a code-approved masonry chimney with a ue liner. In Canada, the installation
must conform to CAN/CSA-B365.
The chimney must extend through the roof at least 3’ (1m), and 2’(.6m) above any struc-
ture within 10’(3m).
The condition and height of the chimney are very important for optimal use of the stove
and we recommend a total minimum height of 10’(3m).
Note the chimney connector pipe should not pass through an attic, roof space, closet,
concealed space, oor or ceiling.
Do not connect this stove to a chimney ue or air distribution duct or any system serving
another appliance.
Each chimney connector or stove pipe section, must be installed to each other with the
crimped end toward the stove. This prevents any amount of condensed or liquid creosote
from running down the outside of the pipe or the stove top.

For rear venting or other unlisted congura-
tions, consult the local building codes and
follow the NFPA 211 guidelines.
If the stovepipe is tted with a bae, it must
be manually operated, visibly placed for
ease of use, and must not close completely.
Consult your chimney expert if you have any
questions.
Important note:
Please ensure that there is easy access to
the chimney cleanout door.
For venting vertically into a Class A chimney, a single
wall pipe (at least 24 gauge) may be used in the room
where the stove is installed. Refer to the manufac-
turer’s instructions for the connection to the listed
chimney. The chimney/stove pipe must not be smaller
than 6”(15cm) in diameter.
For venting directly into a masonry chimney or
through a thimble, the top of the single wall pipe
must be at least 18”(46cm) below a combustible
ceiling and must conform to NFPA 211 guidelines and
methods. Please see the diagram to the left.

Installation
Precautions and Specications
Before installation, remember to consult
your local building inspector or re marshal
to determine the need to obtain a permit.
Also enquire about restrictions and installa-
tion inspection requirements in your area.
If utilizing an existing chimney, it is recommended that a professional mason or stove
installer do a complete check-up of the chimney, liner, and ue beforehand.
In order for the stove to work and draw properly, sucient air supply is important. Be
especially aware of any mechanical fans (e.g. kitchen or bathroom exhaust systems) that
may aect the proper draw.
Do not use grates, andirons, or other fuel support methods. Build re directly on hearth.
Make sure that the oor and the sub-oor of the room in which the stove is installed is
designed to carry the extra weight of the stove. The oor protector plate must be made of
a non-combustible material.
The oor protection plate must lie under the stove and extend 16”(41cm) (18” (45cm) in
Canada) in front of the stove door, 8” (20cm) beyond the sides of the fuel-loading door,
and under the pipe and 2”(5cm) beyond each side for back venting. In Canada, an 8”
(20cm) oor protection is required beyond the sides of the stove and in the back of the
stove (0”in the back for the US).
When deciding where to install your stove, the heat distribution to other rooms should be
taken into consideration. Put the stove at a safe distance from combustible materials; see
the references at the name tag of the stove.
