appeal of its Vermont Castings lineage.
The Aspen achieves high-efficiency through precisely calibrated delivery of primary and secondary air into a refractory-
insulated firebox. Properly operated and maintained according to the guidelines in this manual, your Aspen will provide safe,
dependable, and economical heating for years to come.
The Aspen Model 1920 is listed for burning wood fuel only. Do not burn other fuels.
The Aspen Model 1920 complies with the standards set forth by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, 40 CFR Part
60.532(b)(2), as stated on the permanent label attached to each stove.
We recommend that you hire a professional, solid-fuel stove technician to install your Aspen, or to advise you on the installation
should you attempt to install it yourself. Consult the authority having local jurisdiction (such as a municipal building department,
fire department, fire prevention bureau, etc.) before installation to determine the need for a building permit. Also, consult your
insurance agent to be sure your installation complies with specific requirements that may vary locally.
In addition to directions on installation and operation, this manual includes directions on maintenance and assembly. Please
read this entire manual before you install or operate your new room heater.
