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.
Over heating
If the stove is allowed to get too hot and is over heating, close both
of the air controls fully using the tool, keep the fire door closed and
let the fire burn down.
Chimney Fire
In the event of a chimney fire dial 999 and ask for the Fire Service.
Fully close the air controls on the stove and keep the fire door shut.
Move any combustibles away from the stove and the chimney breast.
Also check other rooms that the chimney passes through and move
furniture and other combustibles away from the chimney here too.
Before using the stove again after a chimney fire have the chimney
cleaned and inspected by a qualified person.
Cleaning the stove
We recommend using Thermacure stove glass cleaner. This is avail-
able from www.vestastoves.com
Only clean the glass when the stove is cold.
The painted surface of the stove can be wiped down with a dry cloth
only when cold. The paint can be easily damaged if touched when
hot for the first few firings. Touching up the stove is easy and can be
done with Thermacure stove paint available from
