INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Tasman 40,000 pellet stove. The Tasman 40,000 is
available as an insert or a freestanding stove. The Tasman 40,000 has been tested and
listed for instal lation in residential, mobile homes and alcove installations.
This heater has been certified to ASTM E1509 -04 Standard Specification for Room
Heaters, Pellet Fuel - Burning Type.
The performance of you pellet stove can be affected by the type of pellet fuel burnt in the
appliance. It is important to use only pellet fuel that is dry and free from dirt or other
impurities.
The Pellet Fuel Industry has established standards for wood pellet manufacturers. It is
recommended that the fuel used in this ap pliance meet or exceed the following
specifications:
Fines (fine particles) .1% maximum through a 1/8" screen
Bulk Density .minimum 40 lbs per cubic foot
Size ...maximum 3/8" diameter by 1- 1/2" long
Ash Content .. 1% maximum (Premium gr ade)
..3% maximum (Standard grade)
Moisture Content ..8% maximum
Heat Content .minimum 8,200 btu/hr
It is important to note that the ash content of the fuel (and frequency of operation)
determine the frequency of cleaning required f or your unit. A high ash fuel may result in
your unit having to be cleaned daily while a low ash content fuel may permit a longer
time between cleaning.
Occasionally impurities in the fuel will cause a hard mass build up in the burn pot. This
build up m ay block the air flow through the burn pot affecting the performance of your
unit. Check the burn pot daily for any blockage. If necessary remove the burn pot liner
(once unit has cooled) and clean the liner and the burn pot.
Since Inca Metal has no control over the quality of pellet fuel used in this unit they
assume no responsibility for the end users choice in wood pellets.
Caution: Be sure to store the pellet fuel a minimum of 3' (0.9 m) away from the pellet
stove.
Please note that the rating labe l may be found on the inside of the hopper lid for the
freestanding unit and on the hopper cover for the insert.

SAFETY INFORMATION
Be sure to read the entire owner s manual prior to installing and operating this pellet fuel
burning heater.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury or even
death.
This stove s exhaust system works with negative combustion chamber pressure and a
slight positive chimney pressure, it is extremely important to ensure that the exh aust
system be sealed and airtight. The ash pan and viewing door must be securely fastened in
order for the unit to be airtight. This appliance will not operate using natural draft or
without a power source for the blowers.
The use of grates or other me thods of supporting the fuel is not permitted.
This unit is designed to burn pellet wood fuel only. Do not use any other type of fuel,
this will void any warranties stated in this manual. THE USE OF CORDWOOD IS
PROHIBTED BY LAW.
This appliance is desig ned for residential installation according to current national and
local building codes. It is also approved as a mobile home heater which is designed for
connection to an outside combustion air source.
It is recommended that the exhaust vent be cleaned bi - annually or after every two tons of
pellets.
Soot or creosote may accumulate when the stove is operated under incorrect conditions
such as an extremely rich burn (black tipped lazy orange flames). Do not operate the
stove if the flame becomes dark or sooty or if the burn pot overfills with pellets. Turn the
stove off and call your dealer.
The grounded electrical cord should be connected to a standard 120 volt, 60 hertz
electrical outlet. Ensure that the electrical cord is not trapped under the appli ance and
that it is clear of any hot surfaces or sharp edges.
Be sure that the structural integrity of the home is maintained when passing venting
through walls, ceilings or roofs.
The ash pan and viewing door must be locked securely for proper and safe operation of
the pellet stove.
DO NOT PLACE UNBURNED OR NEW PELLET FUEL IN ASH PAN. A fire in the
ash pan may occur.
Do not abuse the glass by striking or slamming the door. Do not attempt to operate the
unit with broken glass. Replacement glass must be purchased from a n Inca Metal dealer.
Do not attempt to clean the glass while unit is hot. To clean the glass, use a soft cotton
cloth and mild window cleaner, gas or woodstove cleaner.

OPERATING I NSTRUCTIONS
Filling the Hopper
This pellet stove is available as a freestanding unit or as an insert, therefore there is a
different method of filling the hopper for each type of unit.
To open the hopper lid , on the insert, pull slightly forward and up. To open the hopper
lid on the freestanding unit simply lift up.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the hopper.
Pre - start check up
Remove the burn pot (only if uni t is cool) and clean out any ash debris . Be sure to install
the burn pot in the correct position (see page 30 ).
The blowers and automatic fuel supply are controlled from a panel located on the right
hand side of the stove.
Note: During the first time your unit is fired it may omit an odor as high temperature
paint cures. Maintaining a smaller fire (for the first few hours) will help to minimize this.
Avoid placing any items on the stove top during this period as the unit's paint could be
permanently damaged.
Lighting Instructions
When first operating the pellet stove, switch it to manual mode, so you can have full
control of the pellet stoves control board functions and familiarize yourself with how the
pellet stove works. It is in this mode that th e heat level for the T - STAT mode is set.
To Start up a Cold Stove
Press and release the On/Off button. The green light above the On/Off button will flash
to indicate that the start up cycle has started. The light above the Auger button will turn
on , int ermittently, indicating the activation of the auger which is feeding the pellets into
the burn pot. At this time the electric igniter is activated. The igniter takes a few minutes
to heat up enough to ignite the pellets in the burn pot. This may take as little as 3 minutes
or as much as 8 minutes. If no flames appear within 1 5 minutes the stove will attempt
to restart for a further 7 minutes. If it still does not start a full shut down will occur
and the stove will need to be turned back on again.
Once the flame has been established, the start up cycle will end, this takes between 10 -
22 minutes. At this point, if the stove is in the manual mode, it will default to the l owes t
heat level setting. If the stove is in t he T - STAT mode the heat output will vary in
accordance with the commands from the thermostat.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
To Start up a Hot Stove
If the stove is warm at re - start, the On/Off button must be pressed down and held for 2
seconds or more until the Heat Level light is lit.
When first starting a new pellet stove, or when you completely empty the hopper of
pellets, you can press and hold the AUGER button to get the pellets into the burn pot
quicker. See AUGER button description on page 10 .
The convection air flow will change in accordance with the heat setting. Convection air
flow is at maximum when the heat setting is at maximum. Air flow will be at a minimum
when the heat setting is at a minimum. If the user wishes to turn the convection fan on
maximum, at any heat setting, they may do so by pressing the FAN button.
If the flame goes out, use the AUGER TRIM button to make adjustments. See the
AUGER TRIM button description on page 11 .
To Shutdown Stove
Turn off the unit by pressing the On/Off button. The stove will enter the shutdown cycle
where the pellets will stop feeding to allow the fuel in the burn pot to be used up. The
exhaust blower and convection fan will continue to operate until the flames are out and
the unit has cooled down. Once this has been accomplished the stove will shut down
completely.
In the T- STAT mode turning the thermostat all the way down can also be used to turn off
the stove.
DO NOT TURN OFF THE UNIT BY DISCONNECTING THE EL E CTRICAL
POWER TO THE UNIT. THIS WILL CAUSE THE UNIT TO MISS THE
PROP ER SHUTDOWN CYCLE, CAUSING THE RELEASE OF SMOKE INTO
THE HOUSE AND OVERHEATING OF THE STOVE.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Control Board Functions
T- STAT/Manual Control : Th e mode button selects the pellet stove operat ion to either
T- Stat or Manual. Set to Ma nual to be able to manually select the heat settings and
controls.
If you have a remote thermostat attached and wish to have the pellet stove controlled by
the thermostat, set to T - STAT to operate the pellet stove in variable heat mode. The
thermostat w ill control the heat output of the pellet stove alternating between the lowest
heat level and the highest heat level pre - selected by the user.
Wh en you first plug in the Tasman 40/40I board the only light that will be on will be the
manual mode light. If y ou push the start button in that mode this will start the pellet stove
in the manual mode only. You cannot move from the manual mode to the thermostat
mode once you have switched the stove on.
What you need to do is plug the stove in, before turning on the control push in the mode
button on the control board. With the thermostat light on if you set the wall thermostat to
require heat this will automatically start the pellet stove once the room temperature drops
below heat required. You do not need to start the pellet stove from the control board it
will automatically start through the wall thermostat.
This is the way it will work. Plug Pellet stove in and press mode button select T - STAT.
The wall thermostat will be set to your preferred heat setting, once th e room temp drops
below that level the pellet stove will automatically start up. Once the stove starts up it
will run for 3 or 4 minutes and the red light will come on and show the feed rate on level
1. At this point you can push the heat level button and set to desired feed rate setting ( 2-
5). This only needs to be done once and then the stove will automatically cycle using the
wall thermostat. If the wall thermostat doesn t call for heat within 30 minutes the stove
will go to full shut down mode and will shut itself off. You do not need to touch the
control board at this point, as soon as the room temperature drops to call for heat the
pellet stove will automatically start up again. If you want to stop this function then the
wall thermostat should be turne d off. To restart turn the wall thermostat back up to
desired temperature.
If you unplug the stove or turn it off on the pellet stove control board you will need to
restart as above for wall thermostat use.
After switching between modes the stove should b e turned Off and back On to reset
the control to operate in that mode.
On/Off Button: This button is used to turn the unit on and off. If the stove is cold prior
to start -up press and release the On/Off button. The green light above the On/Off switch
w ill flash to indicate start up cycle has started. Fuel pellets will start to feed into the burn
pot. The electric ignition system will be automatically activated, flames in the burn pot
will normally appear between 3 - 8 minutes. Once the flame has been established, the
start up cycle will end, this takes between 10 -17 minutes. At this point the user will be
able to make heat level adjustments.
If the stove is warm at restart the On/Off button must be pressed down and held for 2
seconds, or more, unt il the minimum heat level setting light is lit.
Heat Level: When pressed this increases the heat level setting one level. Pressing the
button will cycle the heat setting from minimum to maximum and back again. The

11
convection fan speed will also incre ase with the heat level setting. When the light is
flashing during the start up cycle the heat level button will not respond to the
adjustments. When the light is solid, indicating the start up cycle is finished, it will then
respond (only in manual mode ).
Fan: Use this button to override the automatic fan speed control to turn the convection
fan on high. The smart control on this pellet stove will vary the fan speed in accordance
with the heat level setting. It is recommended to let the controller au tomatically adjust
the speed of the fan for optimum efficiency and minimal fan noise.
Auger: Pressing and holding this button will turn on the auger to speed feeding of pellets
into the burn pot, when first using the pellet stove or when you completely e mpty the
hopper of pellets and restarting after reloading the hopper. You can load the auger faster
by pressing and holding this button (until you see pellets dropping into the burn pot).
This button will turn off after 1 minute and must be released and pressed again if you
want to continue to manually operate the auger.
Auger Trim: This is used to change the feed rate on the minimum heat level for various
quality of pellet fuel. This will help to keep the flames from extinguishing on the
minimum heat level setting..
Push and release the Auger Trim button once and the heat level 1 and 5 lights appear.
This will slightly increase the feed rate on the minimum heat level setting to keep the
burn pot flames from going out.
Push and release the button u ntil just the heat level 1 setting light is on, this is the factory
setting and works for most types of fuel.

Safety Features
1. Your unit is equipped with a "high temperature
limit" thermo snap disc. This snap disc serves to
shutdown the auger in the c ase of an over
temperature situation (such as convection fan
failure). This disc has a manual reset button that
will have to be reactivated once the unit has cooled
down.
2. If the combustion fan malfunctions a vacuum
switch will automatically shut down the auger (see
also Open Door section above).
I f either of these situations occur contact your dealer as a service call may be
required.

13
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
An optional thermostat is available for use with this unit. A thermostat can help you
maintain a constant room temperature. A milli - volt thermostat is required.
NOTE: Your thermostat should be installed by an authorized dealer or service person.

INSTALLING YOUR ROOM HEATER
Your first step is to decide where to install your pellet stove. In order to get the best use
of circulated heat we recommend too install it in a large open room ce ntrally located in
the house.
Next it is very important to check that clearances to combustibles are maintained, these
can be found on page 1 4 & 15 of this manual and on the rating label of the pellet stove.
The pellet stove can be vented through an exterior wall or into an existing masonry or
metal chimney. The chimney must be lined if over 6 (150 mm) in diameter or if it has a
cross sectional area of over 28 square inches. Venting can pass through the ceiling and
roof if listed pipe is used.
Do not obtain combustion air from the attic, garage or any other unventilated area. You
may obtain combustion air from a ventilated crawlspace.
DO NOT INSTALL A FLUE DAMPER IN THE EXHAUST VENTING SYSTEM OF
THIS UNIT.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A CHIMNEY FLUE SERVING ANOTHER
APPLIANCE.
INSTALL VENT AT CLEARANCES SPECIFIED BY THE VENT
MANUFACTURER.
This appliance is certified for use with listed PL or L pellet venting products as well
as Selkirk s Direct-Temp Vent system for pellet burning appliances..

INSTALLING YOUR ROOM HEATER
HORIZONTAL EXHAUST VENT INSTALLATION
1. Locate your appliance in a location which meets the requirements of this manual
and where it does not interfere with the house framing, wiring, etc..
2. Install a non - combustible hearth p ad underneath the unit. This pad should extend
at least 6 ( 152 mm) in front of the unit.
3. Place your stove at the approximate installation site allowing yourself room for
working, the stove will be pushed into position once the venting has been
installed, see item 10/ below for minimum clearances to combustibles.
4. Locate the center of the exhaust pipe of your unit. This point should then be
extended to the interior wall of your house. Once you have located the center
point, on the interior wall, cut a 7 (175 mm) diameter hole through the wall.
5. The next step is to install the wall thimble, refer to the instructions which come
with the wall thimble for this step.
6. Install the appropriate length of exhaust vent pipe into the wall thimble. See step
11 when determining the correct length of exhaust vent to use.
7. Install the combustion air intake pipe . The unit is to use outside air for
combustion. Be sure that the outside air vent has a proper cap on it to prevent
rodents from entering and also is installed wh ere it won t become blocked with
snow, etc..
8. Connect the exhaust vent pipe to the exhaust outlet of your appliance.
9. Secure all vent joint connections with 3 screws. Seal the exhaust vent joint
connections with high temperature silicone sealant.
10. Push the u nit straight back to the interior wall but be sure to maintain the
minimum clearances to combustibles 6 (152 mm) to the back of the unit and 8
(204 mm) to the side walls of the unit. If your installation is to be at 45 degrees to
the corner the minimum cl earance is 6 (152mm) from the back corners of the
unit to the walls (see figure 5) . Seal the annular space, of the wall thimble,
around the vent pipe with high temperature silicone sealant.
11. The exhaust vent pipe must extend at least 12 (300 mm) out past the exterior
wall. Seal the annular space, of the wall thimble, around the vent pipe with high
temperature silicone sealant.
12. Install a listed horizontal termination cap or if necessary install a 90 elbow and
appropriate length of vertical venting. A li sted vertical vent cap is recommended
however (if local codes allow) when the vent terminates several feet above ground
level and there are no trees, plants, etc. within several feet a 45 elbow can be
used as a termination. The elbow must be turned down to prevent rain from
entering.
