English RAIS/ - User manual for New PILAR / PILAR 13
Combustible material should not be located where the heat dissipating through the walls
of fireplaces or flues could ignite it. Therefore when installing the stove in the presence
of combustible materials due account must be taken of the guidance on the separation
of combustible material given in Building Regulations Approved Document J and also in
these stove instructions.
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. easily accessible soot door or doors must be provided for sweep-
ing the chimney and connecting fluepipe.
You should also familiarise yourself with the draught conditions for chimneys with 2 flues.
The flue outlet spigot is either 150 mm (6") in diameter, or 129 mm (5") in diameter.
For strong draughts, the chimney or flue should be fitted with a draught stabiliser. In
which case, it is important to ensure that there is a free flow-through area of minimum
20 cm² when the regulating gate is shut. Otherwise, the fuel energy may not be used
optimally. If, at any time, you are unsure about the condition of the chimney, you should
contact a chimney sweep.
Remember that access to the access door should be kept clear.

Installation

The stove can be delivered with a premounted swivel base.If the stove is delivered with
a swivel base, it is preassembled to turn 66° (33° to each side). The swivel base can be
changed to a 360° version by removing a locking screw at the bottom of the stove. See
separate instructions in the next section.
The PILAR 13 is a free standing stove.
This appliance may only be installed by a qualified Rais dealer/installer, otherwise the war-
ranty is voided.
When installing the appliance, all local rules and regulations, including those referring to
national and European standards need to be complied with. Local authorities and a chim-
ney specialist should be contacted prior to set up.
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 ex-
traction hood - may reduce the air supply. Any air grates must be placed in such a manner,
that the air supply is not blocked.
The floor structure must be able to carry the weight of the wood burning stove, as well as
the weight of a chimney, if necessary. If the existing floor construction doesn't meet this
requirement, suitable measures (e.g. load distributing plate) shall be taken to achieve it.
RAIS recommends to consult a building expert.
