ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Introduction Thank you for purchasing a Rais wood burning stove. These appliances have been approved by HETAS as intermittent operating appliances for burning wood logs only. A Rais wood burning stove is more than just a heat source: it also shows that you care about design and quality in your home.

ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Convection Rais stoves are convection stoves. This means that the stove’s back and side panels are not over-heated. Convection means that there is a circulation of air, which ensures that the heat is distributed more evenly throughout the entire room. The cold air is sucked in at the base of the stove and up through the convection channel, which runs along the stove’s combustion chamber.
RAIS - manual for Rais Geo ENGLISH Installation Instructions The following pages give instructions for the safe and proper installation of this heating appliance in the UK. These instructions cover the basic principles of installation, although some details may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Chimney The chimney is the driving force which makes the stove function. In order for the stove to perform satisfactorily the chimney height must be sufficient to ensure the correct draught of 14 to 18 Pa, so as to clear the products of combustion and prevent problems of smoke leaking into the room when the stove is lit. Note: A chimney height of not less than 4.5 metres, measured vertically from the outlet of the stove to the top of the chimney, should be satisfactory.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo 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.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Installation 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 grilles must be placed in such a manner, that the air supply is not blocked.

ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Installation distance in case of combustible wall To find out whether the wall next to where the stove is going to be installed is flammable, 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.

ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Installation distance for non-combustible walls We recommend a minimum distance to non-combustible material of 50mm for cleaning considerations.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo For the Installer Finally before firing the stove for the first time a check should be made to ensure that the assembly and stove installation has been satisfactory and that there are no leaks in any seals in the appliance and appliance connections to the chimney. Ensure that the appliance and chimney flue are functioning correctly before finally handing over to the user. Read the later parts of this manual for guidance on care required when first lighting.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Operating instructions Please note that HETAS Appliance Approval only covers the use of dry seasoned wood logs on this appliance. HETAS Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either alone or mixed with the wood logs, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other fuels. Fuel The stove is designed and approved in accordance with EN 13240 and NS 3058 for stoking split, dried firewood. The firewood must have a water content of 15-22% and its max.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Drying and storage Drying wood takes time: proper air drying takes approximately 2 years. Here are some tips: Store the wood sawn, split and stacked in an airy, sunny place, which is protected against rain (the south side of the house is particularly suitable). Store the firewood stacks at a hand's breadth apart, as this ensures that the air flowing through takes the moisture with it.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Regulating the combustion air All RAIS stoves are equipped with a one-handed operating lever for regulating the damper. The stove-specific regulating mechanisms can be seen on the diagrams. Primary air is the combustion air added to the primary combustion zone, i.e. the bed of glowing embers. This air, which is cold, is only used in the lighting stage. Secondary air is the air which is added in the gas combustion zone, i.e.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Using the wood burning stove Adjusting the air damper. The damper has 3 settings. Position 1 The damper is closed meaning that there is no air supply. Position 2 Push the handle to the left, to the first mark. This position gives full secondary air. During normal use the lever is set between position 1 and 2. When the flames are clear and yellow, the damper is set correctly, i.e. resulting in a slow/optimal burning. Position 3 Push the handle to the left to the stop.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo First usage A careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get accustomed to the high temperature. This gives the best start and any damage is avoided. Be aware that a strange but harmless odour and smoke concoction may emanate from the surface of the stove, the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and materials need to harden. The odour disappears quickly, but you should check the ventilation and draught, if possible.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Lighting and fuelling To light the stove, use alcohol briquettes or similar, as well as approximately 2kg of firewood, split into kindling sticks. Set the air damper to the fully open position. Tips before firing up: Open a door or window close to the wood burning stove. If there is ‘storm’ in the stove coming from the chimney it is advisable to place a screwed up piece of newspaper between the upper baffle plate and the chimney.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo When the flames are clear, after approximately 5-10 minutes, close the door. Damper - see adjustment of the damper. After approximately 10-20 minutes, when you have a good bed of glowing embers, add 2-3 pieces of wood. Leave the door ajar until the fire has caught properly, then close the door. Damper - see adjustment of the damper. After approximately 5 minutes, or when the flames are clear and stable, close the damper gradually.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Cleaning and care The wood burning stove and the chimney must be serviced by a chimney sweep twice a year. During cleaning and care, the stove must be cold. If the glass is sooty: - Moisten a piece of paper or newspaper, dip it in the ash, and rub the sooty glass with it. - Now rub with a dry piece of paper and the glass will become clean. - As an alternative you can use glass cleaner, which you can buy from you RAIS distributor.

The fixing clips are positioned in the top right corner of the firebox. The picture on the left is a detailed view of the top right corner of the firebox. This is a close up view of the area is marked by a circle in the next picture. The baffle plate is pulled forwards and then tipped down towards the firebox. Note, the skamol on the sides are now loose.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Rais Geo Problem solving Smoke spillage around door: - could be due to too low draught in the chimney <12Pa - check if the flue or chimney is blocked - check if a extraction hood is switched on; if it is, switch it off and open a window/door in the proximity of the stove for a short while. Soot on glass: - could be because the firewood is too wet.
