esTing nformaTion This manual describes the installation and operation of the Canyon™ C310 non-catalytic wood heaters. These heaters meet the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s emissions limits for wood heaters sold on or after July 1, 1990. This heater has been developed, tested, and constructed in ac- cordance with the requirements of UL 1482, ULC S628-93 and HUD standards and is listed by OMNI Test Laboratories, Beaverton, OR.
rafTing Your wood stove is dependent upon a properly functioning chimney for optimum performance. It is a high efficiency appliance that loses much less heat up the chimney than older appliances and fireplaces. For this reason it is important to match the stove to the chimney. The chimney has two functions: 1) It draws combustion air into the appliance (without air, no fuel will burn) and 2) It exhausts combustion by-products.
isPosal Ashes should be scooped out of a cool stove with a small metal shovel. Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a non-combustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible materials, pending final disposal.

himney equiremenTs The Canyon™ C310 inserts are approved for use in masonry fireplaces built to UBC Chapter 37 or equivalent with a mini- mum 30” opening at the front of the fireplace. Do not remove brick or mortar from masonry fireplace to accommodate insert.

This will allow you to level the insert when placed into the fireplace. Measure from the front of the top surround mount to the center of the flue.
PeraTing inTs Burn only dry, well-seasoned wood for maxi- mum heat output. In some states it is illegal to burn wet wood or anything other than clean, dry wood products. Your stove is designed to operate with the door closed! Operate only with the door shut tightly at all times except when loading wood.

lean lass SEE MAINTENANCE ON PAGE 14 FOR GLASS CLEAN- ING TIPS The operator plays an important part in keeping the glass clean and free of build-ups. The first and most important part the operator plays is making sure to burn only well-seasoned firewood.
’ aximizing Tove verall It is important to know that for high, combustion efficient, clean burns, you will need to have sufficient temperatures inside the firebox for thorough combustion. The best method for determining if you have sufficient temperatures is to watch the brick lining in your firebox.
Experiment with different loading configurations to achieve longer burns. Try loading the wood from side to side and nesting it in the ashes to prevent airflow under and around the wood. Fresh wood should be loaded to the back of the firebox or to the sides.
rouBleshooTing Problem Solution POOR DRAFT: Extend chimney in length or have the chimney realigned to the proper size flue. Oversized chimneys normally have poor drafts. Remember, the stoves’ draft depend solely on the natural draft of the chimney (See Drafting section on page 4). If your stove is not drafting properly, your chimney is the problem.
’ ’ s anD DO NOT: Install or operate this stove before reading this manual. DO NOT: Close the draft beyond the point at which the flames are completely extinguished. DO NOT: Open the stove door without fully opening the draft first. DO NOT: Burn driftwood or wood that has been in salt water.
