INSTALLATION  
COMBUSTIBLE MANTELS  
Because of the extreme heat this fireplace  
emits, the mantel clearances are critical.  
Combustible mantel clearances from top of unit  
are shown in Diagram below.  
FRAMING AND  
FINISHING  
1) Determine the total thickness of facing  
material (e.g. drywall plus ceramic tiles) to  
allow the finished surface to be flush with  
the front of the unit. Total facing thickness  
can vary from 1/2" (13mm) to 1" (32mm)  
thick.  
Note: A non-combustible mantel may be  
installed at a lower height if the  
framing is made of metal studs  
covered with a non-combustible  
board.  
These drawings are to scale at 1:6 (one inch  
= 6 inches)  
Mantel can be installed anywhere in shaded  
area or higher using the above scale.  
Note: Ensure the paint that is used  
on the mantel and the facing is  
"heat resistant" or the paint may  
discolour.  
Install Top Standoffs & Side Nailing Strips  
before unit is slipped into position. See the  
"Unit Assembly Prior to Installation" section  
for assembly details.

supported every three feet. Wall straps  
are available for this purpose.  
HORIZONTAL  
TERMINATIONS  
5) Mark the wall for a 10" x 10" square hole.  
The center of the square hole should line  
upwiththecenterlineofthehorizontalpipe.  
Cut and frame the 10 inch square hole in  
the exterior wall where the vent will be  
terminated. If the wall being penetrated is  
constructed of non-combustible material,  
i.e.masonryblockorconcrete,a7"(178mm)  
dia. (7-1/2"(191mm) dia. for flex) hole is  
acceptable.  
Install the vent system according to the  
manufacturer's instructions included with  
the components.  
1) Set the unit in its desired location. Check  
to determine if wall studs or roof rafters  
are in the way when the venting system is  
attached. If this is the case, you may want  
to adjust the location of the unit. Rough in  
the gas preferably on the right side of the  
unit and the electrical (junction block is on  
the left side) on the left.  
Note: Riser Vent  
is only for use  
in above grade  
terminations.  
Note: With  
Dura-Vent,  
theminimum  
height is  
achieved by  
installing a  
90o elbow  
directly to  
therigidpipe

easier). Level the fireplace and fasten it to  
the framing using nails or screws through  
the nailing strips.  
Below Grade Installation  
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed  
belowgrade,i.e.basementapplication,proper  
drainage must be provided to prevent water  
from entering the Snorkel Termination. Refer  
to Diagram 4. Do not attempt to enclose the  
Snorkel within the wall, or any other type of  
enclosure.  
Diagram 2  
Note:  
a) The horizontal run of vent must be level,  
or have a 1/4 inch rise for every 1 foot  
of run towards the termination. Never  
allow the vent to run downward. This  
couldcausehightemperaturesandmay  
present the possibility of a fire.  
4) Assemble the desired combination of pipe  
and elbows to the appliance adaptor and  
twist-lock for a solid connection.

INSTALLATION  
WIRING DIAGRAMS  
This heater does not require a 120VA.C. supply  
for operation. In case of a power failure, the  
burner switch and the optional remote control/  
thermostat will continue to operate.  
NOTE: Even if the fan is not purchased  
with the unit, it is still a good idea  
to bring power to the receptacle box  
(provided with the unit) in case the  
fan is installed at a later date.  
However, a 120V A.C. power supply is needed  
for the fan/blower operation.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Note: When the glass is cold and the  
appliance is lit, it may cause  
condensation and fog the glass.  
This condensation is normal and  
will disappear in a few minutes as  
the glass heats up.  
OPERATING  
2) Turn gas control knob so indicator points  
to "OFF" position and allow 5 minutes for  
any gas in the combustion chamber to  
escape.  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1) Read and understand these instructions  
before operating this appliance.  
3) Turn gas control knob counterclockwise  
so indicator points to the "PILOT" position.  
Depress the gas control knob fully. Depress  
the igniter button several times until the  
pilot lights. After approximately one minute,  
releasethegascontrolknob.Thepilotame  
should continue to burn. If the pilot does not  
remainlit,repeatoperationallowingalonger  
period before releasing gas control knob.  
DO NOT BURN THE APPLIANCE  
WITHOUT THE GLASS FRONT IN  
PLACE.  
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.  
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  
appliance with the glass removed.  
4) When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob  
further counterclockwise to the "ON"  
position.  
5) Verify that the venting and cap are  
unobstructed.  
6) Ensure that the brick panels are installed.  
5) Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote

7) Verify log placement. If the pilot cannot be  
seen when lighting the unit, the logs have  
been incorrectly positioned.  
6) Rotate the flame height regulator to adjust  
the flame height higher or lower.  
The air shutter can be adjusted by moving the  
adjusting wire up or down.The wire is accessed  
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.  
8) The unit should never be turned off, and on  
again without a minimum of a 60 second  
wait.

IMPORTANT  
To ignite or reignite the pilot,  
remove one glass panel/door.  
Whenrstoperated,theunitwillreleaseanodour  
caused by the curing of the paint, the burning  
off of any oils remaining from manufacturing.  
Smoke detectors in the house may go off at this  
time. Open a few windows to ventilate the room  
for a couple of hours.  
NOTE: For all propane units and units  
equipped with electric spark boxes,  
see "Copy of Lighting Plate Instruc-  
tions" section for more details.  
The glass panel may require cleaning after the  
unit has cooled down.  
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.  
Adjustment Wire: Push to close or  
pull to open aeration cap.

NORMAL OPERATING  
SOUNDS OF GAS  
APPLIANCES  
It is possible that you will hear some sounds  
fromyourgasappliance.Thisisperfectlynormal  
due to the fact that there are various gauges  
and types of steel used within your appliance.

Blower:  
Excalibur® gasappliancesusehightechblowers  
to push heated air farther into the room. It is not  
unusual for the fan to make a "whirring" sound  
when ON. This sound will increase or decrease  
in volume depending on the speed setting of  
your fan speed control.  
Burner Tray:  
The burner tray is positioned directly under the  
burnertube(s)andlogsandismadeofadifferent  
gauge material from the rest of the firebox and  
body.Therefore,thevaryingthicknessesofsteel  
will expand and contract at slightly different  
rates which can cause "ticking" and "cracking"  
sounds. You should also be aware that as there  
are temperature changes within the unit these  
sounds will likely re-occur. Again, this is normal  
for steel fireboxes.  
Blower Thermodisc:  
When this thermally activated switch turns ON  
it will create a small "clicking" sound. This is the  
switch contacts closing and is normal.

cold weather.  
MAINTENANCE  
INSTRUCTIONS  
1) Alwaysturnoffthegasvalvebeforecleaning.  
For relighting, refer to lighting instructions.  
Keep the burner and control compartment  
clean by brushing and vacuuming at least  
once a year. When cleaning the logs, use a  
soft clean paint brush as the logs are fragile  
and easily damaged.  
GLASS GASKET  
If the glass gasket requires replacement use a  
tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-155).  
DOOR GLASS  
Your Excalibur® fireplace is supplied with high  
temperature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass  
thatwillwithstandthehighestheatthatyourunit  
will produce. If your glass requires cleaning, we  
recommend using an approved glass cleaner  
available at all authorized dealers. Do not use  
abrasive materials. Do not clean the glass  
when hot.  
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe  
sections or fittings have been disturbed,  
and consequently loosened. Also check  
mechanical supports such as Wall Straps,  
or plumbers' tape for rigidity.  
2) Clean appliance and door with a damp  
cloth (never when unit is hot). Never use  
an abrasive cleaner. The glass should be  
cleaned with a gas fireplace glass cleaner.  
The glass should be cleaned when it  
starts looking cloudy.  
GOLD-PLATED DOOR  
OR SURROUND  
The 24 carat gold-plated finish on the surround  
and door requires little maintenance, and need  
only be cleaned with a damp cloth.

that the flow of combustion and ventilation  
air is not obstructed.  
The unit should never be used with broken logs.  
Turn off the gas valve and allow the unit to cool  
before opening door and carefully remove the  
logs. (The pilot light generates enough heat to  
burn someone.) If for any reason a log should  
need replacement, you must use the proper  
replacement log. The position of these logs  
must be as shown in the diagrams under Log  
Installation.  
Glass Replacement  
Remove the glass door front (Refer to the  
"Glass Door Installation" section). Remove  
the 4 glass clips from each corner. Slide in the  
new replacement glass. Push the 4 glass clips  
back onto the frame. The glass must have
