MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Always turn off the gas valve before
cleaning. For relighting, refer to lighting
instructions. Keep the burner and control
compartment clean by brushing and vacu-
uming at least once a year. When cleaning
the logs, use a soft clean paint brush as the
logs are fragile and easily damaged.
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.
3) The heater is finished in a heat resistant
paint and should only be refinished with
heat resistant paint. Excalibur uses Stove-
Bright Paint - Metallic Black #6309.
4) Make a periodic check of burner for proper
position and condition. Visually check the
flame of the burner periodically, making
sure the flames are steady; not lifting or
floating. If there is a problem, call a qualified
service person.
5) The appliance and venting system must be
inspected before use, and at least annual-
ly, by a qualified field service person, to
ensure that the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed.
Note: Never operate the appliance with-
out the glass properly secured in
place.
6) Do not use this appliance if any part has
been under water. Immediately call a qual-
ified service technician to inspect the ap-
pliance and to replace any part of the
control system and any gas control which
has been under water.
7) In the event this appliance has been serv-
iced check that the vent-air system has
been properly resealed & reinstalled in
accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
8) Verify operation after servicing.
General Vent Maintenance
Conduct an inspection of the venting system
semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect
as follows:
1) Check the Venting System for corrosion in
areas that are exposed to the elements.
These will appear as rust spots or streaks,
and in extreme cases, holes. These com-
ponents should be replaced immediately.
32
2) Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight
down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or
other foreign material.
3) Check for evidences of excessive conden-
sation, such as water droplets forming in
the inner liner, and subsequently dripping
out the joints, Continuous condensation can
cause corrosion of caps, pipe, and fittings.
It may be caused by having excessive
lateral runs, too many elbows, and exterior
portions of the system being exposed to
cold weather.
4) Inspect joints, to verify that no pipe sections
or fittings have been disturbed, and conse-
quently loosened. Also check mechanical
supports such as Wall Straps, or plumbers'
tape for rigidity.
GOLD-PLATED DOOR
OR FACADE
The 24 carat gold-plated finish on the facade
and door requires little maintenance, and need
only be cleaned with a damp cloth.
DO NOT use abrasive materials or chemical
cleaners, as they may harm the finish and void
the warranty.
Clean any fingerprints off
before turning the unit on.
LOG REPLACEMENT
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 Instal-
lation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may
create carbon build-up and will
severely alter the unit's perform-
ance which is not covered under
warranty.
THERMOPILE/
THERMOCOUPLE
1) Open the bottom louvers.
2) Loosen the thermocouple or thermopile with
a 7/16" wrench.
3) Disconnect thermocouple by loosening nut
from the valve with a 9mm wrench. Discon-
nect thermopile by loosening 2 screws
marked TP on the valve.
4) Drop the thermocouple or thermopile down
from the bracket and pull it out of the unit.
5) Reinstall the new ones in reverse order.
GLASS GASKET
If the glass gasket requires replacement use
a tadpole glass gasket (Part # 936-155).
