United States Stove Company 5040 - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION 2
Thank you for purchasing the US Stove Pellet Burning Stove, you are now prepared to burn wood in the most efficient,
convenient way possible. To achieve the safest, most efficient 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 E1509-04 Standard Specification for Room Heaters, Pellet Fuel Burn-
ing Type 1, ULC/ORD 1482-90 Standard for Solid Fuel Room Heaters, and Oregon Administrative Rules for Mobile Homes
(814-23-900 through 814-23-909) and Installation as a Stove Heater.
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, fire department, fire prevention bureau,
etc.) should be consulted before installation to determine the need to obtain a permit.
This appliance is designed specifically 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 fire 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
calorific value approximately 8200 BTU/LB. Avoid high ash content fuels because this will rapidly fill up the burn pot and
eventually cut off the combustion air supply.
Commercial and industrial installations of these pellet stoves should not be used since operational control is often not well
managed in these settings.
