OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read and understand these instructions
before operating this appliance.
2) Check to see that all wiring is correct and
enclosed to prevent possible shock.
3) Check to ensure there are no gas leaks.
4) Make sure the glass in the door frame is
properly positioned. Never operate the ap-
pliance with the glass removed.
5) Verify that the venting and cap are unob-
structed.
6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed.
7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be
seen when lighting the unit, the logs have
been incorrectly positioned.
8) The unit should never be turned off, and on
again without a minimum of a 60 second
wait.
LIGHTING
PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT Gas cock knob cannot be
turned from "PILOT" to "OFF" unless it is
partially depressed.
1) Turn burner OFF using "ON/OFF" switch.
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points to
"OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for any
gas in the combustion chamber to escape.
3) Turn gas control knob counter clockwise
so indicator points to the "PILOT" position.
Depress the gas control knob fully. De-
press the igniter button several times until
the pilot lights. After approximately one
minute, release the gas control knob. The
pilot flame should continue to burn. If the
pilot does not remain lit, repeat operation
allowing a longer period before releasing
gas control knob.
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob
further counter clockwise to the "ON"
position.
5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn on the unit.
6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust
the flame height higher or lower.
SHUTDOWN
PROCEDURE
1) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote
control to turn off the main burner.
2) Turn the main gas control clockwise to the
"OFF" position to turn off the pilot.
3) Turn off all electric power to appliance if
service is to be performed.
FIRST FIRE
The first fire in your stove is part of the paint
curing process. To ensure that the paint is
properly cured, it is recommended that you
burn your fireplace for at least four (4) hours
the first time before you use it with the fan on.
When first operated, the unit will release an
odour caused by the curing of the paint, the
burning off of any oils remaining from manu-
facturing. Smoke detectors in the house may
go off at this time. Open a few windows to
ventilate the room for a couple of hours.
The glass panel may require cleaning after the
unit has cooled down.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE
GLASS WHILE IT IS HOT.
Note: When the glass is cold and the
appliance is lit, it may cause con-
densation and fog the glass. This
condensation is normal and will
disappear in a few minutes as the
glass heats up.
During the first few fires, a white film
may develop on the glass front as part
of the curing process. The glass should
be cleaned or the film will bake on and
become very difficult to remove. Use
a non-abrasive cleaner and NEVER clean
the glass while it is hot.
AERATION
ADJUSTMENT
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the
adjusting wire up or down. The wire is ac-
cessed through the bottom louver opening.
Open the air shutter for a blue flame or close
for a more yellow flame. The burner aeration is
factory set but may need adjusting due to either
the local gas supply or altitude. This adjustment
is performed by the gas fitter.
Minimum Air Shutter Opening:
5/16"
Natural Gas
3/8"
Propane
CAUTION: Carbon will be produced if air
shutter is closed too much.
Note: Any damage due to carboning re-
sulting from improperly setting
the aeration controls is NOT cov-
ered under warranty.
Adjustment Wire: Push to close or
pull to open aeration cap.
Closed - Tall yellow
Open - Short Blue
Note: Aeration Adjustment should only
be performed by an authorized
Excalibur Installer at the time of
installation or service.
IMPORTANT
To ignite or reignite the pilot,
remove one glass panel/door.
Only when the pilot holds, without pressure
being applied to the control knob, resecure
the glass panel to the unit. The unit must not
be operated with the glass removed.
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN
PLACE.
