ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert Introduction Thank you for purchasing a RAIS wood burning stove. These appliances have been approved by HETAS Ltd 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. To make the most of your wood burning stove it is important that you read the manual thoroughly, before installing and using it.

ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert 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 up through the convection channel, which runs along the stove’s combustion chamber.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert 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 detail may need slight modification to suit particular local site conditions.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert 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 emanating into the room when firing. 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 Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert 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 Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert 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 grates must be placed in such a manner, that the air supply is not blocked.

ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert Operating instructions Please note that HETAS Ltd Appliance Approval only covers the use of dry seasoned wood logs on this appliance. HETAS Ltd 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.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert Drying and storage Drying wood takes time: proper air drying takes approx. 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 Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert 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 Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert Lighting and fuelling To light the stove, use alcohol briquettes or similar, as well as approx. 2 kg 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.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert When the flames are clear - after approx. 5-10 min. - close the door. Damper - see adjustment of air damper. After approx. 10-20 min. - when you have a good bed of glowing embers - add 2-3 pieces of wood. Leave the door ajar until the fire has caught on properly - close the door. Damper - see adjustment of air damper. After approx. 5 min. - or when the flames are clear and stable - close the damper gradually.
ENGLISH RAIS - manual for Q-BIC & Q-BIC insert Cleaning and care The wood burning stove and the chimney must be serviced by a chimney sweep twice a year.
