Thank you for purchasing the GoldenPellet Burning Stove, you are now prepared to burn wood in the most efcient, con-
venient way possible. To achieve the safest, most efcient and most enjoyable performance from your stove, you must do
three things: 1) Install it properly; 2) Operate it correctly; and 3) Maintain it regularly. The purpose of this manual is to help
you do all three.
PLEASE read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet fuel-burning room heater. Failure to follow
these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even death.
Keep this manual handy for future reference.
This stove has been independently tested to ASTM E1509 Standard Specication for Room Heaters, Pellet Fuel Burning
Type 1, and ULC-S627 Standard For Space Heaters For Use With Solid Fuels.
This pellet stove, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local
codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
The authority having jurisdiction (such as municipal building department, re department, re prevention bureau,
etc.) should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.
This appliance is designed specically for use only with pelletized wood. It is designed for residential installation according
to current national and local building codes as a freestanding room heater. It is also approved as a mobile home heater
which is designed for connection to an outside combustion air source.
The stove will not operate using natural draft or without a power source for the blower systems and fuel feed system and
must not be burned with any type of coal (see PROPER FUEL).
This stove is designed to provide the optimum proportions of fuel and air to the re in order to burn free of smoke and soot.
Any blockage of the air supply to or from the stove will seriously degrade its performance and will be evidenced by a smok-
ing exhaust and a sooting window. For best operation the ash content of the pellet fuel should be less than 1% and the
caloric value approximately 8200 BTU/LB. Avoid high ash content fuels because this will rapidly ll up the burn pot and
eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
Commercial and industrial installations of US Stove Pellet Stoves should not be used since operational control is often not
well managed in these settings.
This manual describes the installation and operation of the Golden Eagle, 5040 wood heater. This heater meets the 2015
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s crib wood emission limits for wood heaters sold after May 15, 2015. Under specic
test conditions this heater has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging from 6,569 to 34,785 Btu/hr.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke coming from
it. Turn it off, monitor it, and call your dealer.
Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene,
charcoal lighter uid, or similar liquids to start or “freshen
up” a re in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from
the stove while in use.
Never block free airow through the open vents of the
stove.
Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
The stove will not operate during a power outage. If an
outage does occur, check the stove for smoke spillage and
open a window if any smoke spills into the room.
Disconnect the power cord before performing any
maintenance or repairs on the stove.
NOTE: Turning the stove “off” does not disconnect all
power from the stove.
During the start up period; 1) DO NOT open the viewing
door; 2) DO NOT open the damper more than ¼”; 3) DO
NOT add pellets to the burnpot by hand; 4) DO NOT use
the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming the auger
after running out of pellets) as a dangerous condition could
result.
Do not unplug the stove if you suspect a malfunction. Turn
the stove off, periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.
Contact your local building ofcials to obtain a permit and
information on any installation restrictions or inspection
requirements in your area. Notify your insurance company
of this stove as well.
This unit must be properly installed to prevent the possibility
of a house re. The instructions must be strictly adhered
to. Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the
installation.
Your stove requires periodic maintenance and cleaning.
Failure to maintain your stove may lead to smoke spillage
in your home.
This stove must be connected to a standard 120 V., 60 Hz
grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or
sever the grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord
underneath, in front of, or over the stove.
The exhaust system should be checked, at a minimum, at
least twice a year for any build up of soot or creosote.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless
instructions are given in this manual. All other work should
be done by a trained technician.
Do not throw this manual away. This manual has important
operating and maintenance instructions that you will need
at a later time. Always follow the instructions in this manual.
Do not place clothing or other ammable items on or near
the stove.
The viewing door must be closed and latched during
operation.
Do not operate the stove if the ame becomes dark and
sooty or if the burnpot overlls with pellets. Turn the stove
off, periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.
Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture
away. Contact may cause skin burns. Educate all children
of the danger of a high temperature stove. Young children
should be supervised when they are in the same room as
the stove.
If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or
in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is
possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise
to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make
the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove
be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of
time (i.e. during the summer months).
The exhaust system must be completely airtight and
properly installed. The pellet vent joints must be sealed with
RTV 500°F (260°C) silicone sealant, and with UL-181-AP
foil tape.
Allow the stove to cool before carrying out any maintenance
or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a metal container
with a tight lid and placed on a no combustible surface well
away from the home structure.
This stove is designed and approved for pelletized wood
fuel only. Any other type of fuel burned in this heater will
void the warranty and safety listing.
When installed in a mobile home, the stove must be bolted
to the oor, have outside air, and NOT BE INSTALLED IN
A BEDROOM (Per H.U.D. requirements). Check with local
building ofcials.

INSTALLATION
COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY
If outdoor combustion air is supplied the heater must be attached to the struc-
ture.
For a mobile home installation the stove must be connected to an outside
source of combustion air. A 2” inside diameter metallic pipe, either exible or
rigid, may be attached to the inlet at the stove’s rear (refer to gures 5a and 6).
A rodent guard (minimum ¼” wire mesh)/wind hood must be used at the termi-
nus (refer to gure 7).
All connections must be secured and airtight by either
using the appropriately sized hose clamp and/or UL-181-AP foil tape.
For mobile home installations only: 2” inside diameter pipe may be used for
the rst 5 feet of combustion air supply run. From 5 to 10 feet use 2 ¾” inside
diameter pipe. No combustion air supply may exceed 10 feet.
Sources of Outside Combustion Air
For freestanding installations
A hole in oor near stove rear terminating only in a ventilated crawl
space.
A hole in the wall behind the stove.
WHEN OUTSIDE AIR IS NOT USED
If outside air is not used, it is important that combustion air is easily available
to the air inlet. A closeable outs
ide air register can be used in tightly insulated
homes.
VENTING
The US Stove 5040 Freestanding is certied for use with listed TYPE PL-Vent,
3” or 4” diameter in size. The stove was tested with Simpson Duravent brand.
Class “A” chimney is not required. Refer to the instructions provided by the
vent manufacturer, especially when passing through a wall, ceiling or roof.
This is a pressurized exhaust system. All vent connector joints must be sealed
with 500
O
F (260
O
C) RTV silicone sealant to ensure consistent performance
and avoid smoke spillage. All horizontal connector joints must be sealed with
UL-
181-AP foil tape. We recommend that all vertical vent connector joints be
secured with a minimum of 3 screws.
It is strongly recommended that you have a minimum of 6’ of vertical pipe in
your exhaust system. For best performance of the stove limit the number of
elbows and horizontal pipe as much as possible.
A chimney connector shall not pass thorough an attic or roof space, closet or
similar concealed space, or a oor, or ceiling. Where passage through a wall,
or partition of combustible construction is desired, the installation shall conform
to CAN/CSA-B365, installation code for solid-Fuel-Burning appliances and equipment.
IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DRAFT
Draft is the force which moves air from the appliance up through the chimney. The amount of draft in your chimney depends on the length
of the chimney, local geography, nearby obstructions and other factors. Too much draft may cause excessive temperatures in the appli-
ance. Inadequate draft may cause backpufng into the room and ‘plugging’ of the chimney.
Inadequate draft will cause the appliance to leak smoke into the room through appliance and chimney connector joints.
An uncontrollable burn or excessive temperature indicates excessive draft.
Take into account the chimney’s location to insure it is not too close to neighbors or in a valley which may cause unhealthy or nuisance
conditions.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER APPLIANCE.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF THIS UNIT.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT MANUFACTURER.

Equivalent Vent Length (EVL)
The longer the run of pipe in your installation, the more re-
striction there is in the system. Therefore, larger diameter pipe
should be used.
Use 4” pipe if you have more than 15 feet of equivalent
vent length.
Horizontal runs shall not exceed 10 feet of EVL.
It is recommended that vertical runs be a minimum of 8
feet.
To calculate EVL, use the following conversions:
90º elbow or “T” = 5 equivalent feet
45º elbow = 3 equivalent feet
Horizontal Pipe Run = 1 equivalent foot per actual foot
Vertical Pipe Run = 0.5 equivalent foot per actual foot
NOTE: At altitudes above 3,000 feet, we suggest the use of
4” diameter vent at an EVL of 7 feet or more.
FREESTANDING INSTALLATIONS

Final approval is contingent on the authority having jurisdiction.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This stove is provided with a 6-foot grounded electrical cord extending from the rear of the stove. We recommend con-
necting to a good quality surge protector that is plugged into a standard three-prong, 120V, 60hz electrical outlet. Voltage
variations can lead to serious performance problems. The US Stove electrical system is designed for 120V AC with no more
than 5% variation. US Stove cannot accept responsibility for poor performance or damage due to inadequate voltage. If
connected to an older, two-prong outlet, a separate ground wire should be run to a proper ground (refer this to a qualied
technician). Always route the electrical cord so that it will not come in contact with any hot part of the stove.

OPERATION
PANEL CONTROLS (SEE FIGURE 22)
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel on the left-hand
side of the 5040. The control panel functions are as follows.
a. ON/OFF SWITCH
When pushed the stove will automatically ignite. No other restarter is necessary.
The igniter will stay on for at least 10 and up to 15 minutes, depending on when
Proof of Fire is reached. The re should start in about 5 minutes.
The green light located above the On/Off button (in the On/Off box) will ash dur-
ing the ignition start-up period. (See gure 22)
The Feed Rate Advance is inoperable during the ignition start period. When
the red light continuously stays on the Feed Rate Advance can be adjusted to
achieve the desired heat output.
NOTE: If the stove has been shut off, and you want to re-start it while it is still warm,
the “on/off” button must be held down for 2 seconds.
b. FUEL FEED SWITCH
When the “Fuel Feed” button is pushed and held down the stove will feed pellets
continuously into the burnpot.
While the stove’s auger system is feeding pellets the amber light (in the “Fuel
Feed” box) will be on. (See gure 22)
CAUTION: DO NOT USE THIS CONTROL DURING NORMAL OPERATION BE-
CAUSE IT COULD SMOTHER THE FIRE AND LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUA-
TION.
c. HIGH FAN SWITCH
The room air fan speed varies directly with the feed rate. The “HIGH FAN” switch
overrides this variable speed function. It will set the room air blower speed to high
at any feed rate setting.
When the “HIGH FAN” button is pushed the room air fan will switch to its highest
setting.
When this button is pushed again the room air fan will return to its original setting based on the Feed Rate Advance
setting.
d. RESET TRIM
Different size and quality pellet fuel may require adjustment of the “1” feed setting on the Feed Rate Advance bar graph.
This is usually a one-time adjustment based on the fuel you are using. The “RESET TRIM” button when adjusted will allow
for 3 different feed rate settings for the #1 feed setting only. To adjust simply push the “RESET TRIM” button while the stove
is operating at setting “1” and watch the bar graph.
When the “1” and “3” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “lowest” setting. (approx. 0.9
pounds per hour)
When the “1” light is illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “normal” setting.
When the “1” & “4” lights are illuminated on the bar graph the low feed rate is at its “highest” setting.
NOTE: When the stove is set on “1” the “reset trim” values will be shown on the Feed Rate Advance bar graph. For example
if the Reset Trim is set to its lowest setting every time the stove is set to low the “1” and “3” lights will be illuminated on the
bar graph.
e. HEAT LEVEL ADVANCE
This button when pushed will set the pellet feed rate, hence the heat output of your stove. The levels of heat output will
incrementally change on the bar graph starting from level “1” to “4”.
NOTE: When dropping more than 2 heat level settings (i.e. 4 to 1) push the ‘High Fan’ button and allow the room air fan to
run at that setting for at least 5 minutes to prevent the stove from tripping the high temp thermodisc. If the high temp ther-
modisc does trip see “SAFETY FEATURES”.
CAUTION: THE “4” SETTING IS DESIGNED FOR TEMPORARY USE ONLY. IF USED FOR EXTENDED PERIODS, IT
CAN SHORTEN THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE UNITS COMPONENTS. AVOID USE AT THIS SETTING FOR MORE
THAN ONE HOUR AT A TIME.

OPERATION
VISIBLE SMOKE
The amount of visible smoke being produced can be an effective method of determining how efciently the combustion
process is taking place at the given settings. Visible smoke consist of unburned fuel and moisture leaving your stove. Learn
to adjust the air settings of your specic unit to produce the smallest amount of visible smoke. Wood that has not been sea-
soned properly and has a high wood moisture content will produce excess visible smoke and burn poorly.
PROPER FUEL
This heater is designed to burn only PFI Premium grade pellets. This appliance can also burn pellets rated as standard after
May 16, 2015
DO NOT BURN:
Burning these materials may result in release of toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective and cause smoke.
THIS STOVE IS APPROVED FOR BURNING PELLETIZED WOOD FUEL ONLY! Factory-approved pellets are those ¼” or
5/16” in diameter and not over 1” long. Longer or thicker pellets sometimes bridge the auger ights, which prevents proper
pellet feed. Burning wood in forms other than pellets is not permitted. It will violate the building codes for which the stove
has been approved and will void all warranties. The design incorporates automatic feed of the pellet fuel into the re at a
carefully prescribed rate. Any additional fuel introduced by hand will not increase heat output but may seriously impair the
stoves performance by generating considerable smoke. Do not burn wet pellets. The stove’s performance depends heavily
on the quality of your pellet fuel. Avoid pellet brands that display these characteristics:
a. Excess Fines “Fines” is a term describing crushed pellets or loose material that looks like sawdust or sand. Pellets can
be screened before being placed in hopper to remove most nes.
b. Binders – Some pellets are produced with materials to hold them together, or “bind” them.
c. High ash content Poor quality pellets will often create smoke and dirty glass. They will create a need for more frequent
maintenance. You will have to empty the burnpot plus vacuum the entire system more often. Poor quality pellets could
damage the auger. US Stove cannot accept responsibility for damage due to poor quality pellets. Your dealer can rec-
ommend a good quality pellet dealer in your area.
PRE-START-UP CHECK
Remove burnpot, making sure it is clean and none of the air holes are plugged. Clean the rebox, and then reinstall burnpot.
Clean door glass if necessary (a dry cloth or paper towel is usually sufcient). Never use abrasive cleaners on the glass or
door. Check fuel in the hopper, and rell if necessary.
NOTE: The 5040 Hopper can hold up to 45 lbs. of pellets.
1. Garbage;
2. Lawn clippings or yard waste;
3. Materials containing rubber, including tires;
4. Materials containing plastic;
5. Waste petroleum products, paints or paint thinners, or
asphalt products;
6. Materials containing asbestos;
7. Construction or demolition debris;
8. Railroad ties or pressure-treated wood;
9. Manure or animal remains;
10. Salt water driftwood or other previously salt water satu-
rated materials;
11. Unseasoned wood; or
12. Paper products, cardboard, plywood, or particleboard.
The prohibition against burning these materials does not
prohibit the use of re starters made from paper, card-
board, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the pur-
pose of starting a re in an affected wood heater.
12
OPERATION
BUILDING A FIRE
Never use a grate or other means of supporting the fuel. Use only the US Stove approved burnpot. CAUTION: DO NOT USE
CHEMICALS OR FLUIDS TO START FIRE. DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OR FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE,
NAPTHA OR ENGINE OIL.
During the start up period:
1. DO NOT open the viewing door.
2. DO NOT open the damper more than ¼”.
3. DO NOT add pellets to the burnpot by hand.
4. DO NOT use the Fuel Feed button (unless you are priming the auger after running out of pellets).
A dangerous condition could result.
NOTE: During the rst few res, your stove will emit an odor as the high temperature paint cures or becomes seasoned to
the metal. Maintaining smaller res will minimize this. Avoid placing items on stovetop during this period because paint could
be affected.
THE HOTROD AUTOMATIC FIRESTARTER
a. Fill hopper and clean burnpot.
b. Press “Power” button. Make sure light is on.
c. The damper should be completely closed or open no more than ¼” during start-up. This will vary depending on your
installation and elevation. Once re is established adjust for desired ame increasing the amount the damper is open as
the heat setting is increased. (See “DAMPER CONTROL”)
d. Adjust feed rate to desired setting by pressing “Feed Rate Advance” button.
If re doesn’t start in 15 minutes, press “Power”, wait a few minutes and start procedure again.
DAMPER CONTROL
The damper control rod on the stove’s lower left side adjusts the combustion air. This control is necessary due to the varied
burn characteristics of individual installations, different pellet brands and pellet feed rates. It allows you to improve the ef-
ciency of your stove. Providing correct combustion air will reduce the frequency of cleaning your glass door and prevent
the rapid buildup of creosote inside your stove and chimney.
You should adjust the damper based on the re’s appearance. A low, reddish, dirty re can be improved by pulling the
damper out slightly. A “blow torch” re can be improved by pushing the damper in a bit.
As a general rule, on lower feed rate settings, the damper should be in farther. On higher feed rates, the damper should be
more open. Through trial and error, you will nd the best setting. Consult your dealer if you need help.
NOTE: On “1”, damper should be either completely closed or out approximately ⅛” to ¼”. If damper is out too far, it can
cause the re to go out.
OPENING DOOR
If the door is opened while the stove is in operation it must be closed within 30 seconds or the stove will shut down. If the
stove shuts down push the “Power” button to continue the operation of your stove.
ROOM AIR FAN
When starting your stove the Room Air Fan will not come on until the stove’s heat exchanger warms up. This usually takes
about 10 minutes from startup.
13
RE-STARTING A WARM STOVE
If the stove has been shut off, and you want to re-start it while it is still warm, the “on/off” button must be held down for 2
seconds.
IF STOVE RUNS OUT OF PELLETS
The re goes out and the auger motor and blowers will run until the stove cools. This will take 30 to 45 minutes.
After the stove components stop running the “Power” and the BAR GRAPH lights stay on for 10 minutes.
After the 10 minutes the “3” light on the bar graph will ash and the “Power” light will go off.
To restart, rell hopper, press “Power” button, and then press “Fuel Feed” button until pellets begin to fall into burnpot.
REFUELING
We recommend that you not let the hopper drop below ¼ full.
KEEP HOPPER LID CLOSED AT ALL TIMES EXCEPT WHEN REFILLING. DO NOT OVERFILL HOPPER.
A tool has been provided to help with the following functions:
a. Stirring pellets in hopperunlike liquids in a tank, pellets do not drain evenly into the auger. Bridging across the open-
ing can occur. Pellets can hang up on the sides of the hopper. Occasionally “stirring” the hopper can help.
NOTE: To help prevent bridging of pellets, common wax paper can be rubbed on the sidewalls and bottom of the hopper.
b. Cleaning heat exchanger tubes – see instructions in “CLEANING”.
c. Scrape ashes from burnpot.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Turning your US Stove stove off is a matter of pressing the “Power” control panel switch. The red light will go out. The blow-
ers will continue to operate until internal rebox temperatures have fallen to a preset level.
SAFETY FEATURES
a. Your stove is equipped with a high temperature thermodisc. This safety switch has two functions.
1. To recognize an overheat situation in the stove and shut down the fuel feed or auger system.
2. In case of a malfunctioning convection blower, the high-temperature thermodisc will automatically shut down the auger,
preventing the stove from overheating.
NOTE: On some units, once tripped, like a circuit breaker, the reset button will have to be pushed before restarting your
stove. On other units the thermodisc has no reset button and will reset itself once the stove has cooled. The manufacturer
recommends that you call your dealer if this occurs as this may indicate a more serious problem. A service call may be
required.
b. If the combustion blower fails, an air pressure switch will automatically shut down the auger.
NOTE: Opening the stove door for more than 30 seconds during operation will cause enough pressure change to activate
the air switch, shutting the fuel feed off. Close the door and press “On/Off” button to continue operation of your stove.

OPERATING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PLEASE READ THIS!
a. Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns.
b. If you notice a smoldering re (burnpot full but no visible ame) AND a heavy smoke buildup in rebox, immedi-
ately TURN OFF the stove, but DO NOT unplug it. Do not open the door, change the damper setting or tamper
with any controls on the stove. Wait until rebox clears, and blowers shut down, do as instructed in “PRE-START-UP
CHECK” and “BUILDING A FIRE”, then attempt to restart the re. If the problem persists contact your dealer.
c. WARNING: DO NOT ADD PELLETS TO THE BURNPOT BY HAND AT ANY TIME, A DANGEROUS CONDITION
COULD RESULT.
d. WARNING: DURING THE START UP CYCLE; 1) DO NOT OPEN THE VIEWING DOOR; 2) DO NOT OPEN THE
DAMPER MORE THAN ¼”; 3) DO NOT USE THE FUEL FEED BUTTON (UNLESS PRIMING THE AUGER AFTER
RUNNING OUT OF PELLETS). A DANGEROUS CONDITION COULD RESULT.
e. Pellets should be stored in a dry place. The pellets should not be stored within 12” of the stove.
f. DO NOT STORE OR USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS, ESPECIALLY GASOLINE, IN THE VICINITY OF YOUR US Stove
STOVE. NEVER USE A GAS OR PROPANE TORCH, GASOLINE, GASOLINE-TYPE LANTERN FUEL, KEROSENE,
CHARCOAL LIGHTER FLUID OR SIMILAR FLUIDS TO START OR “FRESHEN UP” A FIRE IN THIS HEATER.
g. WARNING: DO NOT OVERFIRE THIS STOVE. This may cause serious damage to your stove and void your warranty.
It also may create a re hazard in your home. IF ANY EXTERNAL PART OF THE UNIT BEGINS TO GLOW, YOU ARE
OVERFIRING. Immediately press the “POWER” switch on the control panel.
h. KEEP ALL LOOSE OR MOVEABLE HOUSEHOLD COMBUSTIBLES, SUCH AS FURNITURE, DRAPES, TOYS,
ETC. AT LEAST THREE FEET FROM THE OPERATING STOVE.
i. Maintain proper ventilation. It is important that adequate oxygen be supplied to the re for the combustion process.
Modern houses are often so well insulated that it may become necessary to open a window slightly or install an outside
air vent to provide sufcient combustion air.
j. Since heating with a solid fuel is potentially hazardous, even with a well made and thoroughly tested stove, it would be
wise to install strategically placed smoke detectors and have a re extinguisher in a convenient location, near an exit.
k. Do not open stove door when operating unless necessary. This will create a dirty, inefcient burn and could allow smoke
spillage or sparks to escape.
l. Do not permit operation by young children or those unfamiliar with stove’s operation.
m. Do not service or clean this appliance without disconnecting the power cord.
n. Do not abuse the door glass by striking, slamming or similar trauma. Do not operate the stove with the glass removed,
cracked or broken.
o. If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight can shine on the unit, it is
possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the sensors could then make
the stove start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged when not in use for extended amounts of time
(i.e. during the summer months).
p. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS AND NEVER CLEAN WHEN HEATER IS HOT.
q. Attempts to achieve heat output rates that exceed heater design specications can result in permanent damage to the
heater.
r. This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal regula-
tions to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in
this manual.
OPERATION
15
OPTIONAL THERMOSTAT
A thermostat may help you maintain a constant house temperature
automatically. A millivolt thermostat is required. A xed wall mount or
US Stove’s hand held model can be used. The control panel can be
set up two ways to operate your stove in thermostat mode.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
A MILLIVOLT THERMOSTAT IS REQUIRED.
Unplug stove from power outlet.
Remove control board from stove.
The two thermostat wires connect to the terminal block on the
lower left side of the back of the control board. (See gure 24)
Insert the wires in the terminal side and tighten the two screws.
MODES
TO SWITCH BETWEEN ANY OF THE THREE MODES THE STOVE
MUST BE SHUT OFF, THE NEW MODE SELECTED, AND THE
STOVE RESTARTED.
MANUAL MODE
USE THIS MODE EXCLUSIVELY IF YOU DO NOT CONNECT
AN OPTIONAL THERMOSTAT
In this mode the stove will operate only from the control panel
as detailed in the “OPERATION” section of this owner’s manual.
HIGH/LOW THERMOSTAT MODE
USE THIS MODE ONLY IF YOU CONNECT A THERMOSTAT
When engaged in this mode the stove will automatically switch
between two settings. When warm enough, it will switch to the
#1 or low setting. The room air blower will also slow to its lowest
speed.
The Heat Level Advance setting on the bar graph will stay where
it was initially set. When the house cools below the thermostat
setting, the stove will switch to the feed rate of the heat level
advance setting.
ON/OFF THERMOSTAT MODE
USE THIS MODE ONLY IF YOU CONNECT A THERMOSTAT
In this mode when the home is warm enough the stove will shut off. The fans will continue to run until the stove
cools.
When the home cools below the thermostat setting, the stove will automatically restart and run at the last feed rate
setting.
NOTE: When in “high/low” or “on/off” thermostat mode –
Do not operate the stove higher than the #3 setting.
Set damper control rod approximately ¼” to ½” out. This will vary depending on elevation and weather conditions.
Observe stoves operation and adjust damper as necessary.

FAILURE TO CLEAN AND MAINTAIN THIS UNIT AS INDICATED CAN
RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND SAFETY HAZARDS. NEVER
CLEAN WHEN HOT.
NOTE: Inspect burn pot periodically to see that holes have not become
plugged, if so, clean thoroughly.
ASH REMOVAL
Disposal of Ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
tting id. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a noncombus-
tible oor or on the ground, well away from all combustibles materials, pend-
ing nal disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or otherwise
locally dispersed, they should be retainer in the closed container until all
cinders have been thoroughly cooled.
ASH DISPOSAL
Remove ashes periodically as they ll the rebox. To remove ashes:
a. Make sure re is out and rebox is cool.
b. Clean heat exchanger tubes (see “CLEANING” and Figure 25).
c. Remove the burnpots inner section by grasping it and pulling straight up
(see Figure 26).
d. Empty ashes from the inner section and scrape with cleaning tool; make
sure holes are not plugged.
e. Vacuum to remove ashes from the burn chamber interior and the burn-
pot shell.
WARNING: Make sure ashes are cool to the touch before using a
vacuum. See “VACUUM USE”.
f. Dispose of ashes properly. (See “ASH REMOVAL” above)
g. Replace inner section into burnpot; make sure it is level and pushed
all the way back down and that the igniter hole is to the rear when it is
reinstalled (see Figure 26).
h. Make sure the burnpot is level and pushed all the way in, if the collar on
the burnpot attached to the fresh air tube is not pushed back to meet the
rebox wall, the Hot Rod will not work properly.
SMOKE AND CO MONITORS
Burning wood naturally produces smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) emis-
sions. CO is a poisonous gas when exposed to elevated concentrations for
extended periods of time. While the modern combustion systems in heaters
drastically reduce the amount of CO emitted out the chimney, exposure to
the gases in closed or conned areas can be dangerous. Make sure your
stove gaskets and chimney joints are in good working order and sealing
properly to ensure unintended exposure. It is recommended that you use
both smoke and CO monitors in areas having the potential to generate CO.
VACUUM USE
If a vacuum is used to clean your unit, we suggest using a vacuum designed
for ashes. (We recommend LoveLess Ash Vac, 1-800-568-3949 Ext. #27)
Some regular vacuums and shop vacs leak ash into the room. Your vacuum or shop vac may have a special lter or bag
available to eliminate this leakage.
CLEANING
a. Heat Exchange Tubes – Your US Stove stove is designed with a built-in heat exchange tube cleaner. This should be
used every two or three days to remove accumulated ash on the tubes, which reduces heat transfer on the 5040. Insert
the handle end (with hole) of the cleaning tool onto the cleaning rod (refer to gure 25). The cleaner rod is located in
the grill above the stove door. Move the cleaner rod back and forth several times to clean the heat exchanger tubes. Be

sure to leave tube cleaner at the rear of the stove.
b. Interior Chambers – Four ash doors and two upper
bafes in the rebox in the 5040 can be removed
for periodic cleaning (Figure 27). These doors allow
access to the chamber surrounding the rebox.
NOTE: When removing the upper bafes do not re-
move the screws; just loosen them enough to allow the
bafes to be removed.
Periodically, you must vacuum ashes from this cham-
ber. In some cases you will need to remove creosote,
which can accumulate rapidly under certain condi-
tions. A small wire brush can be used. It is important
to remove this creosote because it is highly combus-
tible. INSPECT BEHIND THESE CLEANING PLATES
AT LEAST ONCE PER TON OF PELLETS BURNED
UNTIL YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH HOW ASHES AND
CREOSOTE ACCUMULATE WITH YOUR OPERAT-
ING PRACTICES. Use the small wire brush to also
clean the inside of the chamber walls, above the ac-
cess doors.
BLOWERS
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. DISCON-
NECT POWER BEFORE SERVICING UNIT.
Cleaning Over a period of time, ashes or dust may
collect on the blades of both the combustion blower and
convection blower. Periodically the blowers should be
vacuumed clean as these ashes can impede perfor-
mance. Creosote can also accumulate in the combus-
tion blower. This needs to be brushed clean. The con-
vection blower is accessed by removing the stove’s left
side panel. The combustion blower can be accessed
by removing the stove’s right side panel. The convec-
tion blower is on the left (facing stove), and the com-
bustion blower is on the right.
NOTE: When cleaning, be careful not to dislodge bal-
ancing clip on convection blower or to bend fan blades.
Some stove owners lightly spray an anti-creosote
chemical on the re to help reduce creosote formation
within the stove.
GASKETS
This unit’s door uses a 5/8” diameter rope gasket.
CAUTION: This wood heater needs periodic
inspection and repair for proper operation. It
is against federal regulations to operate this
wood heater in a manner inconsistent with
operating instructions in this manual.
18
CHIMNEY CLEANING
a. Creosote Formation – When any wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other organic vapors, which combine with
expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively cool chimney ue or a newly started
re or from a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote residue accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited, this creosote
makes an extremely hot re, which may damage the chimney or even destroy the house. Despite their high efciency,
pellet stoves can accumulate creosote under certain conditions.
b. Soot and Fly Ash: Formation and Need for Removal - The products of combustion will contain small particles of y ash.
The y ash will collect in the exhaust venting system and restrict the ow of the ue gases. Incomplete combustion,
such as occurs during startup, shutdown, or incorrect operation of the room heater will lead to some soot formation
which will collect in the exhaust venting system. The exhaust venting system should be inspected at least once every
year or ton of pellets burned to determine if cleaning is necessary.
c. Inspection and Removal The chimney connector and chimney should be inspected annually or per ton to determine
if a creosote or y ash build-up has occurred. If creosote has accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney re. Inspect the system at the stove connection and at the chimney top. Cooler surfaces tend to build creosote
deposits quicker, so it is important to check the chimney from the top as well as from the bottom.
The creosote should be removed with a brush specically designed for the type of chimney in use. A qualied chimney
sweep can perform this service. It is also recommended that before each heating season the entire system be professionally
inspected, cleaned and, if necessary, repaired.
To clean the chimney, detach the vent at the combustion blower transition where it is attached to the blower.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Establish a routine for the fuel, wood burner and ring technique. Check daily for creosote buildup until experience shows
how often you need to clean to be safe. Be aware that the hotter the re the less creosote is deposited, and weekly clean-
ing may be necessary in mild weather even though monthly cleaning may be enough in the coldest months. Contact your
local municipal or provincial re authority for information on how to handle a chimney re. Have a clearly understood plan to
handle a chimney re. Use this as a guide under average-use conditions.
Gasket around door and door glass should be inspected and repaired or replaced when necessary. (See “REPLACEMENT
PARTS”)
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF BROKEN DOOR GLASS (8.8” x 13.25” x 0.197” Ceramic Glass)
While wearing leather gloves (or any other gloves suitable for handling broken glass), carefully remove any loose pieces of
glass from the doorframe. Dispose of all broken glass properly. Return the damaged door to your US Stove Dealer for repair
or replacement.
Neither the appliance owner nor any other unauthorized person(s) should replace the door glass. An authorized US Stove
dealer must perform all repairs involving door glass.

When your stove acts out of the ordinary, the rst reaction is to call for help. This guide may save time and money by en-
abling you to solve simple problems yourself. Problems encountered are often the result of only ve factors: 1) poor fuel;
2) poor operation or maintenance; 3) poor installation; 4) component failure; 5) factory defect. You can usually solve those
problems related to 1 and 2. Your dealer can solve problems relating to 3, 4 and 5. Refer to diagrams on page 20 to help
locate indicated parts.
For the sake of troubleshooting and using this guide to assist you, you should look at your heat level setting to see which
light is ashing.
** CAUTION – UNPLUG THE STOVE FROM ALL POWER PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING TO SERVICE THE UNIT! **
STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE #2 LIGHT FLASHES
Possible Causes: Possible Remedies:
1. Airow switch hose or stove attachment pipes
for hose are blocked.
Unhook air hose from the air switch and blow through
it. If air ows freely, the hose and tubes are ne. If air
will not ow through the hose, use a wire coat hanger to
clear the blockage.
2. The air inlet, burnpot, interior combustion air
chambers, combustion blower, or exhaust
pipe are blocked with ash or foreign material.
Follow all clearing procedures in the maintenance sec-
tion of the owner’s manual.
3. The rebox is not properly sealed. Make sure the door is closed and that the gasket is in
good shape. If the ash door has a latch, make sure the
ash door is properly latched and the gasket is sealing
good. If the stove has just a small hole for the ashes
to fall through under the burnpot, make sure the slider
plate is in place to seal off the rebox oor.
4. Vent pipe is incorrectly installed. Check to make sure vent pipe installation meets criteria
in owner’s manual.
5. The airow switch wire connections are bad. Check the connectors that attach the gray wires to the
air switch.
6. The gray wires are pulled loose at the Molex
connector on the wiring harness.
Check to see if the gray wires are loose at the
Molex connector.
7. Combustion blower failure With the stove on, check to see if the combustion blower
is running. If it is not, you will need to check for power
going to the combustion blower. It should be a full cur-
rent. If there is power, the blower is bad. If there is not,
see #8.
8. Control board not sending power to combus-
tion blower.
If there is no current going to the combustion blower,
check all wire connections. If all wires are properly con-
nected, you have a bad control board.
9. Control board not sending power to air
switch.
There should be a 5-volt current (approximately) going
to the air switch after the stove has been on for 30 sec-
onds.
10. Air switch has failed (very rare). To test air switch, you will need to disconnect the air
hose from the body of the stove. With the other end still
attached to the air switch, very gently suck on the loose
end of the hose (you may want to remove the hose en-
tirely off the stove and the air switch rst and make sure
it is clear). If you hear a click, the air switch is working.
BE CAREFUL! TOO MUCH VACUUM CAN DAMAGE
THE AIR SWITCH.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
20
STOVE SHUTS OFF AND THE #3 LIGHT FLASHES
Possible Causes: Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove rst when possible)
1. The hopper is out of pellets. Rell the hopper
2. The air damper is too far open for a low feed
setting.
If burning on the low setting, you may need to close the
damper all the way (push the knob in so it touches the side
of the stove).
3. The burnpot is not pushed completely to the
rear of the rebox.
Make sure that the air intake collar on the burnpot is touching
the rear wall of the rebox.
4. The burnpot holes are blocked. Remove the burnpot and thoroughly clean it.
5. The air inlet, the interior chambers, or exhaust
system has a partial blockage.
Follow all cleaning procedures in the maintenance section of
the owner’s manual.
6. The hopper safety switch has failed or hopper
is open.
When operating the unit, be sure the hopper lid is closed so
that the hopper safety switch will activate. Check the wires
leading from the hopper safety switch to the control panel
and auger motor for secure connections. Use a continuity
tester to test the hopper safety switch, replace if necessary.
7. The auger is jammed. Start emptying the hopper. Then remove the auger motor by
removing the auger pin. Remove the auger shaft. Gently lift
the auger shaft straight up so that the end of the auger shaft
comes up out of the bottom auger bushing. Next, remove the
two nuts that hold the top auger biscuit in. Then rotate the
bottom end of the auger shaft up towards you until you can lift
the shaft out of the stove. After you have removed the shaft,
inspect it for bent ights, burrs, or broken welds. Remove any
foreign material that might have caused the jam. Also, check
the auger tube for signs of damage such as burrs, rough
spots, or grooves cut into the metal that could have caused
a jam.
8. The auger motor has failed. Remove the auger motor from the auger shaft and try to run
the unit. If the motor will turn, the shaft is jammed on some-
thing. If the motor will not turn, the motor is bad.
9. The Proof of Fire (POF) thermodisc has
malfunctioned.
Temporarily bypass the POF thermodisc by disconnecting
the two brown wires and connecting them with a short piece
of wire. Then plug the stove back in. If the stove comes on
and works, you need to replace the POF thermodisc. This is
for testing only. DO NOT LEAVE THE THERMODISC BY-
PASSED. Your blowers will never shut off and if the re went
out, the auger will continue to feed pellets until the hopper is
empty if you leave the POF thermodisc bypassed.
10. The high limit thermodisc has tripped or is
defective
Wait for the stove to cool for about 30-45 minutes. It should
now function normally. If not, use the owner’s manual to lo-
cate the high limit thermodisc. To test if the thermodisc is bad,
you can bypass it as described previously for the POF ther-
modisc.
11. The fuse on the control board has blown. Remove the control board. On the back, there is one fuse. If it
appears to be bad, replace it with a 5 Amp 125 Volt fuse. Plug
the stove back in and try to run the unit.
12. The control board is not sending power to the
POF thermodisc or other auger system
components.
There should be a 5-volt (approximately) current going to the
POF thermodisc after the stove has been on for 10 minutes.
