INSTALLATION MANUAL
Congratulations on the acquisition of your new RAIS or ATTIKA
product! This installation manual will ensure that your fireplace
insert is installed correctly and that it will provide you with
comfort and pleasure for many years to come.
IN GENERAL
It is important that the fire-place insert is correctly installed, in
consideration of the environment and people's safety.
The installation must comply with all local rules and regulations,
including those that refer to national and European standards.
A certified chimney sweeper should be contacted before the
installation is started.
No unauthorised alterations may be made to the fireplace insert.
GENERAL INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Before the fireplace insert may be taken into use the installation
must be reported to your local chimney sweeper.
There must be a plentiful supply of fresh air in the installation
room to ensure good combustion – if required, through an
AirSystem connection. NB: Any mechanical air extraction, for
example a cooker hood, can minimise the supply of air. Any air
vent must be positioned in a way that ensures the supply of air
cannot be blocked.
The fireplace insert has an air consumption of 10–20 m
The floor structure must be able to support the weight of the
fireplace insert and a chimney, if required. If the existing floor
structure does not meet this requirement, suitable measures
must be taken (e.g. installation of a load distribution plate). If in
doubt, contact a building expert.
National and local regulations must be complied with, including
the size of the non-flammable plate that must cover the
flammable floor in front of the fireplace insert to protect the
floor from fallen embers.
The fireplace insert must be positioned at a safe distance from
flammable material. Due to the risk of fire, flammable items (e.g.
furniture) may not be positioned closer to the fireplace insert
than the closest permitted distance stated in the installation
section. When deciding where you shall install your RAIS/ATTIKA
fireplace insert, you should think about being able to heat
other rooms in the home, so you get the most out of your new
fireplace insert.
When your fireplace insert is delivered, please check
it for any defects.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
CHIMNEY
The chimney must be high enough to ensure that the chimney
draught conditions are correct, i.e. –14 to –18 pascal. If the
recommended chimney draught cannot be achieved, problems
from smoke escaping from the door may arise when lighting
the fire. We recommend that the chimney is adapted to suit the
flue outlet spigot. The flue outlet spigot is 150 mm in diameter.
If the draught is excessive, it is recommended that you equip
the chimney with a regulating damper. If a regulating damper is
fitted, you must ensure that there is a free flow area of at least
20 cm² at the closed regulating damper.
Remember that there must be free access to the access door
on the chimney.
The length of the chimney, calculated from the top of the
fireplace insert should not be less than 3 m and must be at least
80 cm above the roof ridge. If the chimney is installed at the side
of the house, the top of the chimney must never be lower than
the roof ridge or the roof's highest point.
Note that there are often national and local regulations relating
to houses with thatched roofs.
The fireplace insert is suitable for connecting to a shared flue but
we recommend that the in-feed is positioned so that there is a
free-height difference between them of at least 250 mm.
