  • Page 4 General Safety Advice Properly installed, operated and maintained, this appliance will not emit fumes into the dwelling. However occasional fumes from de- ashing and re-fuelling may occur. Persistent fume emission is poten- tially dangerous and must not be tolerated. If fume emission does persist, open doors and windows to ventilate the room.

  • Page 6 Building regulations Installation of the Vesta wood burning stove must comply with all local building regulations, including those referring to national and European standards. It is a good idea to con- sult your local chimney sweep to check the suitability of the chimney and ensure there is adequate updraft and suggest any remedies to potential chimney problems.

  • Page 8 Lighting the stove (cont) Do not run the appliance with the door open. This reduces the effi- ciency of the burn and you will use much more fuel. Tips The first stage of the fire, just after lighting, is usually the smokiest because the cold wood and cold stove take heat away from the flames.

  • Page 10 the stove away from the glass. Slow wood burning To slow the burning rate and output from the stove reduce the air en- tering the stove via the air controls. The fire must be well established and the stove hot before a minimum combustion rate is attempted. Note that if the air supply is restricted too much the fire will burn dirty and inefficiently.
  • Page 11 Below 150°C This is below the condensation point of wood gases and may cause the build up of tar in the chimney, dirty the stove glass and result in the inefficient burning of fuel. Above 300 °C Too hot. Heat will be wasted up the chimney. Excess heat may dam- age the stove or ignite an existing accumulation of tar resulting in a chimney fire.
  • Page 12 Types of fuel Wood needs to be well seasoned before it is burnt. Different woods take varying amounts of time to season but, as a general guide, be- fore being used in a stove, wood should be cut to length, split and then stacked under cover (with the sides open to the air) for at least a year.
  • Page 13 Glass If the glass is blackened with soot, it can easily be cleaned using one of the many specialist stove glass cleaning products available from stove shops. We recommend Vesta Stove Glass Cleaner.
  • Page 14 Thermacure high temperature aerosol paint available from stove shops and from Vesta. Make sure the stove is cold and read the instructions on the can carefully before applying the paint. Applying too much paint can cause blistering.

    Clearances The minimum distance to combustible materials should be 450mm at the back of the stove and 450mm to the sides of the stove. Adjacent walls should be of suitable non-combustible construction, preferably brickwork. Make sure that there is a gap between an un-insulated flue pipe and any combustible material.
  • Page 18 opposite flue outlet to fix the clamp to the back of it, see Figure Position the stove and seal the flue connections with fire cement or a high temperature rope seal. Care should be taken not to allow fire ce- ment to come into contact with the paintwork on either the stove or the flue pipe.
