ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee Convection Rais stoves are convection stoves. This means that the stove’s back and side panels are not overheated. 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.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee These instructions together with those in the instruction booklet cover the basic principles to ensure the satisfactory installation of the stove, although detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions. In all cases the installation must comply with current Building Regulations, Local Authority Byelaws and other specifications or regulations as they affect the installation of the stove.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee STOVE PERFORMANCE In the UK the stove has been approved by HETAS Ltd as an intermittent operating appliance for burning wood logs only. PREPARATORY WORK AND SAFETY CHECKS IMPORTANT WARNING This stove must not be installed into a chimney that serves any other heating appliance. There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause the stove to emit fumes into the room.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee A single wall metal fluepipe is suitable for connecting the stove to the chimney but is not suitable for using for the complete chimney. The chimney and connecting fluepipe must have a minimum diameter of 125 mm and its dimension should be not less than the size of the outlet socket of the stove. Any bend in the chimney or connecting fluepipe should not exceed 45°. 90° bends should not be used.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee Combustion air supply In order for the stove to perform efficiently and safely there should be an adequate air supply into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This is particularly necessary if the room is doubleglazed or a flue draught stabiliser is operat ing in the same room as the appliance. It may be necessary to increase the air vent size in property with low air permeability ( < 5.0 m3 /(h.m2).
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee Commissioning and handover Ensure loose parts are fitted in accordance with the instructions given in the instruction booklet. On completion of the installation allow a suitable period of time for any fire cement and mortar to dry out, when a small fire may be lit and checked to ensure the smoke and fumes are taken from the stove up the chimney and emitted safely to atmosphere. Do not run at full output for at least 24 hours.

ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee Installation distance to 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 QTee Installation distance in case of noncombustible wall We recommend a minimum distance to noncombustible material of 50 mm (F) for cleaning considerations. Using uninsulated flue pipe, the minimum distance to a combustible wall must be 450mm or 225mm if the wall is heatshielded ( see Section J of the Building Regu lations ) from the flue pipe.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee WARNING NOTE Properly installed, operated and maintained this stove will not emit fumes into the dwelling. Occasional fumes from de‑ashing and re‑fuelling may occur. However, persistent fume emission is potentially dangerous and must not be tolerated.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee If the stove is fitted in place of an open fire then the chimney will require sweeping after a month of continuous operation. This is a precaution to ensure that any “softer” deposits left from the open fire usage have not been loosened by the higher flue temperatures generated by the closed stove. In situations where it is not possible to sweep through the stove the installer will have provided alternative means, such as a soot door.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee Chimney Fires If the chimney is thoroughly and regularly swept, chimney fires should not occur. However, if a chimney fire does occur turn off the stove immediately and isolate the mains electricity supply (if applicable), and tightly close the doors of the stove. This should cause the chimney fire to go out. If the chimney fire does not go out when the above action is taken then the fire brigade should be called immediately.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee Refuelling Keep the firebox well filled (the fuel may be sloped up from the front firebars), but do not allow fuel to spill over the top of the front fire bars. Take care that fuel does not project over the front fire bars or damage to the glass may be caused when the doors are closed Flueway cleaning It is important that the baffle plate and all the stove flueways are kept clean. When burning smokeless fuels they should be cleaned at least monthly.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee 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 1522% and its max.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee 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 QTee Using the wood burning stove Adjusting the air damper. The damper has 3 settings. Position 1 The damper is almost closed meaning that there is a minimal air intake. Position 2 Pull / push the lever until the first click. 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.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee 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.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee Lighting and fuelling "TopDown" lighting Start by placing 34 pieces wood approx. 1 ½ 2 kilogram in the bottom of the burning chamber. Place approx. 1 kilogram of dry firewood, split into kindling sticks., and a couple of alcohol briquettes or similar (12). Set the air damper to fully open position.

ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee Cleaning of flue way The flue ways are consist of a smoke converter plate and a smoke chicane. Both parts are made of vermiculite. Handle these parts carefully. Remove the smoke converter plate by tilting it to one side and turning it a little slantwise. Pull out the plate carefully. Then remove the smoke baffle by pushing it backwards, tipping it up on one side and turn slightly tilted. Carefully lift out the smoke baffle.
ENGLISH RAIS manual for Rais QTee 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.
