RIKA: AN OVERVIEW
Portrait
Congratulations on your purchase of a quality RIKA
wood pellet stove made by Rika. You are now a
member of a group of more than 100,000 Rika owners.
If you were not familiar with Rika before your purchase,
please allow us to introduce ourselves:
Rika was founded more than 50 years ago in
Micheldorf, Austria by Karl Riener and his family.
From a small company, specializing in hand made
wrought iron products, grew a large, well known
company recognized today as Rika
Metallwarengesellschaft. We appreciate quality and
feel that our company manufactures some of the finest
pellet and wood burning stoves available in today’s
marketplace.
Unique designs and emphasis on quality, performance
and superior workmanship have made us a leading
stove manufacturer in Europe. State of the art
processes, such as; robotic welding, laser cutting and
complete micro-processor control systems, allow us to
produce a final product that we feel is unequalled.
In addition to pellet stoves, we are also known for our high quality wood-burning stoves,
wood-burning cook stoves, freestanding fireplaces, and water heater units. Rika also
produces a large variety of other
metal products for international
corporations.
In 1988, Rika began to introduce its
products into the United States
under the trade name RIKA. Rapid
growth in the U.S. is directly
attributed to the quality and unique
design of the RIKA line of pellet
stoves. Attention to detail has given
us the nickname in the United
States as the “Mercedes of the
Pellet Stove Industry”.

This stove comes with a 7’ to 8’ grounded electrical
cord. This cord should be connected to a standard,
properly polarized, 110volt, 60hz electrical outlet.
The approximate power requirement is 110 volt.
The power supply cord must be routed to avoid
contact with any of the hot or sharp exterior surface
areas of the stove. In addition, all Austroflamm
Visio pellet stoves installed in a mobile home, must
be electrically grounded to the steel chassis of the
home and bolted to the floor in compliance with and
according to H.U.D. requirements. It is
recommended that a good quality surge suppressor
be used in conjunction with your stove.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
READ THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING STOVE
The RIKA VISIO freestanding wood pellet stove
must be properly installed in order to prevent
the possibility of a house fire. For your own
safety, you must adhere strictly to the
installation instructions. Contact your local
building officials to obtain a permit and
information on any installation restrictions and
inspection requirement in your area. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in
property damage, bodily injury or even death.
The word “stove”, as used in this manual, means
the Visio Freestanding wood pellet stove.
The stove’s exhaust system works with negative
combustion chamber pressure and a slightly
positive chimney pressure. It’s crucial that the air
intake and exhaust system are air tight and
installed correctly.
WARNING
BURN WOOD PELLET FUEL ONLY! NEVER BURN
ANY OTHER FUEL SUCH AS PAPER, SOLID
WOOD OR CHARCOAL!
When operated properly, the stove cannot be over
heated. However, continuous operation at
maximum burn may shorten the life of the
electrical components and is not recommended.
4
Do not use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid or similar liquids to
start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep
these flammable liquids well away from this stove
when it is in use.
Build-up of dust, soot, or creosote in the chimney
connector and in the exhaust vent can cause a
house fire. Although buildup will be minimal with
correct operation, it is advisable to inspect the
chimney connector and exhaust vent on a regular
basis, and clean if necessary, at least once per
heating season.
NOTE: Disconnect power before performing
any maintenance or cleaning on your stove.
DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Ashes removed from the stove may be hot.
A
sh
must be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should
be placed on a noncombustible floor or on the
ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes
are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have been
thoroughly cooled.
Revised 12/18/2007
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
HOT WHILE IN OPERATION!
KEEP CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND
FURNITURE AWAY FROM STOVE.
CONTACT WITH STOVE MAY
CAUSE SKIN BURNS.
DO NOT COOK FOOD, HOT
BEVERAGES, OR PLACE ANYTHING
ON TOP OF STOVE.
DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR
FLUIDS TO START THE FIRE.
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDES SUCH AS
GASOLINE, NAPHTHA OR ENGINE
OIL.
SOOT AND FLYASH – FORMATION
AND NEED FOR REMOVAL
The products of combustion will
contain small particles of flyash.
The flyash will collect in the exhaust
venting system and restrict the flow
of the flue gasses. Incomplete
combustion, such as occurs during
startup, shutdown, or incorrect
operation of the stove will lead to
some soot formation which will
collect in the exhaust venting
system. The exhaust venting
system should be inspected at least
once every year to determine if
cleaning is necessary.
The pellets burned in the stove are
fed by an auger. This auger is
driven by a high-torque motor. The
auger is capable of causing serious
injury to fingers. Keep pellets in the
hopper at all times.
The auger may start at any time
when the stove is running! Keep
hands and fingers away from auger
at all times as contact with auger
may cause personal injury.
DO NOT OPERATE YOUR STOVE WITH
THE DOOR OPEN!
Operating your stove with the door open
will allow smoke to enter into the room
and can cause smoke detectors to
activate. Operating your stove with the
door open will result in a disruption in the
combustion process which may cause
your stove to automatically shut down.
Operating your stove with the door open
can cause a fire.
