Safety and Environmental Testing
The RAIS Malta Series stoves have been tested by OMNI-Test Laboratories, Inc. of
Beaverton, Oregon and are listed to UL 1482 and ULC S627. They are also EPA certified
and have met the more stringent WA State Environmental standards.
Features and Items Included
Your RAIS has a built in convection system, so the sides do not get very hot. It also
creates air circulation in the room, to spread the heat faster and more evenly.
The stove is equipped with a "cool" handle - a specialty from RAIS, which enables you to
operate it without the use of a glove (however, always use caution when touching areas
where HOT surfaces are located).
Included with the RAIS stove (in the firebox) are:
•
Flue collar with 3 bolts/nuts (to connect to stove/pipe)
•
An oven mitt
•
A box of RAIS starter matches
•
A can of touch-up paint (Remove from the stove!)

installer do a complete check-up of your chimney, liner, and flue.
