Product catalog summary
Extended Warranty and Retailer Network
Your Riva™ stove or fire comes with a five-year extended warranty if purchased through Stovax's Expert Retailer Network and registered with Stovax. This warranty excludes certain consumable parts. Purchases outside this network carry a standard one-year warranty. Full terms are available on the Stovax website.
Product Availability and Installation
Stovax products are available through experienced, independent retailers who provide local showrooms for model viewing and operational demonstrations. Retailers assist with technical and visual requirements, installation, and after-sales support. Stovax does not support nationwide online sales technically, beyond statutory responsibilities.
Environmental Considerations
Wood is an environmentally friendly fuel, releasing carbon dioxide equivalent to what the tree absorbed during growth. For optimal results, logs should be seasoned for at least two years to achieve a moisture content below 20%, doubling the output compared to freshly felled timber and reducing tar buildup in the flue.
Fuel Options
Most Riva™ fires can burn logs or smokeless fuel, with a flat fuel bed for logs and a raised grate for smokeless fuels. The Riva™ 76 models are dedicated woodburning models.
Design and Efficiency
Riva™ convectors, cassettes, and stoves are designed to be a striking centerpiece with high heating efficiency and ease of control. They incorporate cleanburn technology and an 'Opti-Burn' setting for outstanding efficiency, delivering more heat into the room and less up the chimney.
Technical Features
Key features include a high-density thermal brick liner system, heated air jets, a unique stainless steel baffle, single combustion control lever, airtight door, and convected and radiant heat. Optional features include a fan-assisted convection system and a smokeless fuel reducing kit.
Product Range and Specifications
The Riva™ Cassette range offers six sizes with various frame options in Jet Black Metallic or Storm finishes. The Riva™ 40, for example, has a nominal heat output of 4.9kW and a maximum efficiency of 82%. It fits standard British fireplace openings and can be installed as a 'hole in the wall' fire.
