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 bae 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.

US English User Manual RAIS Topas & RAIS Opus

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

vertical position.

Info: The cold handle cover will fall of the door handle

if not held in hand.

Place the cold handle cover in its resting position when not

in use on the magnetic holder supplied with the stove.

The resting position is at the lower aft end of the right side

of the stove.

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 congura-

tions, consult the local building codes and

follow the NFPA 211 guidelines.

If the stovepipe is tted with a bae, 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 Specications

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, sucient air supply is important. Be

especially aware of any mechanical fans (e.g. kitchen or bathroom exhaust systems) that

may aect 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.
