Building regulations
Installation of the Vesta woodburning 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. Document J of the
Building Regulations contains further information regarding
the installation of solid fuel appliances and can be viewed
here : www.odpm.gov.uk or follow the link on our website.
Lighting the stove
When lighting the stove for the first time it should not be
stoked excessively as all the materials must be given time to
adapt to the effects of heat. The paint will take some time to
fully cure and during this period some odours will be evident.
It is recommended that doors or windows should be opened
the first time the stove is fired.
Before lighting check the firebricks and other internal com-
ponents are in position and that all packaging has been re-
moved.
