Aspen Woodburning Stove
Maintenance
Let the fire in the stove go out and allow the stove to cool completely before beginning any maintenance procedure.
Care of the Cast Iron Surface
An occasional dusting with a dry rag will keep the painted cast iron of your Aspen looking new.
The stove’s paint can be touched up as needed. First, clean the areas to be painted with a wire brush. Then, touch up the stove with high temperature stove paint. Apply the paint sparingly, and keep in mind that two light coats of paint are better than a single heavy one.
Care of Porcelain Enamel Finish
Use a dry or slightly damp rag or a soft brush to remove spills or stains. For difficult jobs that require a cleaning agent, use only a kitchen appliance cleaner or polish recommended for use on enamel surfaces.
Cleaning the Glass
Most of the carbon deposits on the glass will burn off during hot fires. However, the ash residue that accumu- lates on the glass surface should be removed regularly to prevent etching. Follow this procedure to clean the glass:
•Be sure the glass is completely cool.
•Clean the glass with water or a cleaner made especially for this purpose. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
•Rinse the glass thoroughly.
•Dry the glass completely.

Glass Replacement
Replace glass only with CFM Corporation part no. 30000362. The glass panel rests on a cushion pro- vided by three flat gaskets, and is held in place by two clips. (Fig. 32) The glass is coated on one side which is slightly colored. Remove the door from the stove and place it on a sturdy, level work surface. Use a towel to protect the porcelain enamel finish.
1.Remove the Door Manifold. (Two phillips head screws).
2.Remove the Retainer Clips. (Two phillips head screws on each clip).
3.Inspect the Gasket. If the window gasket is in good condition, you can leave it in place. If you replace it, use only CFM Corporation gaskets (two vertical- PN 30000383; one horizontal– PN 30000384). Be sure the channel around the window opening is clean, and free of dust.
Place the three flat gaskets (two vertical, one hori- zontal) into the panel inset as shown in Figure 32.
4.Install the Glass. Lay the glass on the inner gasket with the coated side down (toward the outside of the door). Tighten the screws snugly, but loose enough to allow for a little movement of the glass when the stove is in operation. Overtightening can crack the glass immediately or cause it to crack if it is unable to expand when hot.
