Excalibur P95 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

INSTALLATION

COMBUSTIBLE
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.
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.

MANTELS

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: 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 page 9 for assembly details.

P95 Flat Wall Surround and Tile Kit
The P95 Flat Wall Surround, Hearth Pad and Tile Kit cannot be modified in any way. It must be installed as manufactured.

2. Frame in the enclosure for the unit with framing material. The framed opening is 50-1/8″ high x 53-3/8″ wide x 21-1/4″ deep (1276mm high x 1346mm wide x 533mm deep).

P95 Flat Wall Surround and Tile Kit Specifications

UNIT BASE STAND-OFFS

To accommodate varying thicknesses and finishes of hearth materials, we have increased the overall height of the appliance by a further 1 1/8″. This increase is added with the inclusion of two stand-offs at the bottom of the unit, below the outer box, taking the overall height of the framing dimensions from 49″ up to 50 1/8″.

Insert the 2 unit base stand-offs underneath the unit as shown in the diagram below. Space the stand-offs centrally, approximately 2 or 21/2 feet apart. Ensure that the unit is not unstable.

Framing Dimensions

C

53-3/8″ 50-1/8″ 21-1/4″

1346mm 1276mm 533mm

In the event that you should choose to use thinner materials to finish the hearth, you can omit the stand-offs provided for raising the unit. However, we recommend that you leave the framing dimensions as they are in the manual and alter only the facing requirement by reducing it by the same distance that you have lowered the unit.

3. For exterior walls, insulate the enclosure to the same degree as the rest of the house, apply vapour barrier and drywall, as per local installation codes. (Do not insulate the fireplace itself.)

INSTALLATION

4. Note: The unit does not have to be completely enclosed in a chase. The clearance on top of the unit is 0″ to the standoffs so combustible building materials can be laid directly on top of the standoffs. You must maintain clearance from the vent to combustible materials for both rigid and flex, see Vent Clearances, page 6.
   Note: 52″ (1320mm) is the minimum height for both flex termination or Simpson Dura-Vent venting.

Facing Over 1″ (25mm) Thick
If the facing material is over 1″ (25mm) thick (example: brick or river rock), install the facing around the perimeter of the face. You may wish to make a face template as shown on the diagram.
FPI offers a cover plate template. See next page.
NOTE: If using a brick hearth, the fireplace will need to be raised to accommodate the brick thickness. Example: If the brick is 2″ thick, the unit must be raised 1″.

The HeatWave Duct Kit has different clearance and framing requirements, check the HeatWave manual for details.
FACING REQUIREMENT
This fireplace requires a non-combustible material extending from the framing header and sides.
The flanges on the front face of the fireplace are for a facing thickness of 1″ (25mm).

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS
Floor Mounted Fireplaces

Please note that all vertical measurements are taken from the base of the unit excluding risers or bottom stand-offs.

Raised Fireplaces
No hearth is required when the unit is raised 3″ (76mm) off of the floor surface

Fireplace Stand

Flooring

You must take into account the depth of the floor covering (carpet, tile, linoleum, etc.) when determining the height of the fireplace stand.

VENTING INTRODUCTION

Back View of Cover Plate

The P95 uses the “balanced flue” technology Coaxial system. The inner liner vents products of combustion to the outside while the outer liner draws outside combustion air into the combustion chamber thereby eliminating the need to use heated room air for combustion and losing warm room air up the chimney.

Pin Holes
TO REMOVE:

1. Remove 2 screws that secure top clip. Ensure to hold cover plate as it will fall forward.

Note: These flue pipes must not be connected to any other appliance.
The gas appliance and vent system must be vented directly to the outside of the building, and never be attached to a chimney serving a separate solid fuel or gas burning appliance. Each direct vent gas appliance must use it’s own separate vent system. Common vent systems are prohibited.

2. Pull out top clip that is still hooked onto glass.

SIMPSON DURA-VENT VENTING

The Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent System offers a complete line of component parts for installation of both horizontal and vertical installations. Many items are offered in decorative black, as well as galvanized finish. We recommend using the galvanized finish for installation with the P95.

The minimum components required for a basic horizontal termination are:
1 Horizontal Termination Cap 1 90o Elbow 1 Flue Adaptor 1 Wall Thimble 1 Length of pipe to suit wall thickness
(see chart) 1 4″ x 6-5/8″ to 5″ x 8″ increaser for 5″ x
8″ venting

mount the vent terminal. The Terminal must not be recessed into siding. Measure the wall thickness including furring strips.
If a Vinyl Siding Standoff is required (it must be used with vinyl siding), measure to outside surface of wall without siding and add 2 inches.

Wall thickness is measured from the back standoffs to the inside mounting surface of termination cap. For siding other than vinyl furring strips may be used, instead of the vinyl siding standoff, to create a level surface to

INSTALLATION

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATIONS

b) Horizontal runs of vent must be supported every three feet. Wall straps are available for this purpose.

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.

2. Direct Vent pipe and fittings are designed with special twist-lock connections to connect the venting system to the appliance flue outlet. A twist-lock appliance adaptor is an available option that must be used in conjunction with the Simpson Dura-Vent Direct Vent GS system.

3. Mark the wall for a 10″ x 10″ square hole. The center of the square hole should line up with the centerline of the horizontal pipe. 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. masonry block or concrete, a 7″(178mm) dia. (7-1/2″(191mm) dia. for flex) hole is acceptable.

Note: With Dura-

Vent, the mini-

is achieved

by installing

the

flue

adaptor.

Note: Riser Vent is only for use in above grade terminations.
Diagram 3a
*Dia 3, 3a & 4: As specified in CGA B149 Installation Code. Local codes or regulations may require different clearances.

3. Put a bead of silicone inside the outer section of the adapter and a bead of Mill Pac on the inner collar. Slip the adapter over the existing inner and outer flue collar and fasten to the outer collar only with the 3 supplied screws (drilling pilot holes will make this easier). Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing using nails or screws through the nailing strips.
4. Assemble the desired combination of pipe and elbows to the appliance adaptor and twist-lock for a solid connection.
   Note: a) Twist-lock procedure: Four indentations, located on the female ends of pipes and fittings, are designed to slide straight onto the male ends of adjacent pipes and fittings, by orienting the four pipe indentations so they match and slide in to the four entry slots on the male ends, Diagram 1. Push the pipe sections completely together, then twist-lock one section clockwise approximately onequarter turn, until the two sections are fully locked. The female locking lugs will not be visible from the outside, on the Black Pipe or fittings. They may be located by examining the inside of the female ends.
   Diagram 1
   Note: Apply sealant “Mill-Pac” to inner pipe and high temperature silicone sealant to outer pipe on every twist-lock joint.

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 could cause high temperatures and may present the possibility of a fire.
b) The location of the horizontal vent termination on an exterior wall must meet all local and national building codes, and must not be blocked or obstructed. For External Vent Terminal Locations, see diagram on page 11.
c) Snorkel Terminations: For installations requiring a vertical rise on the exterior of the building, 14-inch and 36-inch tall Snorkel Terminations are available, as well as the standard Riser Vent. Follow the same installation procedures as used for standard Horizontal Termination. NEVER install the snorkel upside down.
Diagram 3

Below Grade Installation If the Snorkel Termination must be installed below grade, i.e. basement application, 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 4 NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE
grade installations, follow national or local code requirements.
6) The arrow on the vent cap should be pointing up. Insure that the 1-1/2″ clearances to combustible materials are maintained (Diagram 4). Install the termination cap.

INSTALLATION

Diagram 5
The four wood screws provided should be replaced with appropriate fasteners for stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.
7) Before connecting the horizontal run of vent pipe to the vent termination, slide the Wall Thimble (Part # 620-926) over the vent pipe.
8) Slide the appliance and vent assembly towards the wall carefully inserting the vent pipe into the vent cap assembly. It is important that the vent pipe extends into the vent cap sufficient distance so as to result in a minimum pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure the connection between the vent pipe and the vent cap by attaching the two sheet metal strips extending from the vent cap assembly into the outer wall of the vent pipe. Use the two sheet metal screws provided to connect the strips to the pipe section. See Diagram 6.

VERTICAL TERMINATION

1. Maintain the 1-1/2″ clearances (air spaces) to combustibles when passing through ceilings, walls, roofs, enclosures, attic rafter, or other nearby combustible surfaces. Do not pack air spaces with insulation. Check pages 14-16 for the maximum vertical rise of the venting system and the maximum horizontal offset limitations.

2. Set the gas appliance in its

desired location. Drop a plumb

bob down from the ceiling to the position of the appliance Diagram 1

vent will penetrate the ceiling. Drill a small

hole at his point. Next, drop a plumb bob

4) Assemble the desired lengths of pipe and elbows. Ensure that all pipes and elbow connections are in the fully twist-locked position and sealed.
5) Cut a hole in the roof centered on the small drilled hole placed in the roof in Step 2. The hole should be of sufficient size to meet the minimum requirements for clearance to combustibles of 1-1/2″. Slip the flashing under the shingles (shingles should overlap half

the flashing) as per Diagram 4.
6) Continue to assemble pipe lengths.
Note: If an offset is necessary in the attic to avoid obstructions, it is important to support the vent pipe every 3 feet, to avoid excessive stress on the elbows, and possible separation. Wall straps are available for this purpose (Diagram 2).
Galvanized pipe is desirable above the roofline due to its higher corrosion resistance. Continue to add pipe sections through the flashing until the height of the vent cap meets

the minimum height requirements specified in Diagram 5 or local codes. Note that for steep roof pitches, the vertical height must be increased. A poor draft, or down drafting can result from high wind conditions near big trees or adjoining roof lines, in these cases, increasing the vent height may solve the problem. 7) Ensure vent is vertical and secure the base of the flashing to the roof with roofing rails, slide storm collar over the pipe section and seal with a mastic. 8) Install the vertical termination cap by twistlocking it.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
for FPI Direct Vent System (Flex)

Note: To make the installation more aesthetically pleasing, we recommend framing out a square to mount the terminal to.
Note: If installing termination on a siding covered wall, furring strips must be used to ensure that the termination is not recessed into the siding.
2) Level the fireplace and fasten it to the framing using nails or screws through the nailing strips.
3) Assemble the vent assembly by applying Mill Pac to the 4″(100mm) inner collar of the termination and slipping the 4″(100mm) liner over it at least 1-3/8″ (35mm). Fasten with the 3 screws (drilling pilot holes will make this easier). Apply Mill Pac or high temperature silicone to the 6-7/8″(175mm) flex pipe and slip it over the 6-7/8″ outer collar of the vent terminal at least 1-3/8″(35mm) and fasten with the 3 screws.
NOTE: Horizontal sections must be supported at intervals not exceeding 3 feet (0.9 meter). (Flame picture and performance will be affected by sags in the liner).

4. Separate the 2 halves of the wall thimble and securely fasten the one with the tabs to the outside wall making sure that the tabs are on top and bottom. Fasten the other thimble half to the inside wall. The thimble halves slip inside each other and can be adjusted for 2 x 4 or 2 x 6 walls. The liners must slip over the collars a minimum of 1-3/8″.

5. Slip the assembled liner and termination assembly through the thimble making sure the termination cap faces up (there are markings on the cap that show which way is up). This will position the termination cap with proper down slope for draining water. Fasten the cap to the outer wall with the 4 supplied screws.

6. Pull the centre 4″(100mm) liner and outer 6-7/8″(175mm) liner out enough to slip over the flue collars of the fireplace. (You may wish to cut the liner shorter to make it more workable.) Do not bend liner more than 90o.

7. Apply Mill Pac over the fireplace inner collar and slip the 4″(100mm) liner down over it and attach with 3 supplied screws.

8. Do the same with the 6-7/8″(175mm) liner.

9. Apply a bead of silicone between the thimble and termination and around the outer edge of the terminal at the wall in order to keep the water out.
   IMPORTANT: Do not locate termination hood where excessive snow or ice buildup may occur. Be sure to check vent termination area after snow falls, and clear to prevent accidental blockage of venting system. When using snow blowers, make sure snow is not directed towards vent termination area.

10. Locate the unit in the framing, 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. Locate the centerline of the termination and mark wall accordingly. Cut a 10″(254mm) hole in the wall (inside dimension).

Note: A 3-1/2″(76mm) clearance around the liner must be maintained except that only a 1″ (25mm) clearance is needed at the termination end. We recommend framing a 10″(254mm) x 10″(254mm) (inside dimensions) hole to give structural rigidity for mounting the termination.

The manifold pressure is controlled by a regulator built into the gas control, and should be checked at the pressure test point.
Note: To properly check gas pressure, both inlet and manifold pressures should be checked using the valve pressure ports on the valve.

1. Make sure the valve is in the “OFF” position.
2. Loosen the “IN” and/or “OUT” pressure tap(s), turning counter clockwise with a 1/8″ wide flat screwdriver.
3. Attach manometer to “IN” and/or “OUT” pressure tap(s) using a 5/16″ ID hose.
4. Light the pilot and turn the valve to “ON” position.
5. The pressure check should be carried out with the unit burning and the setting should be within the limits specified on the safety label.
6. When finished reading manometer, turn off the gas valve, disconnect the hose and tighten the screw (clockwise) with a 1/8″ flat screwdriver. Note: Screw should be snug, but do not over tighten.

   Point

The gas line can be brought through either the right or the left side of the appliance. The gas valve is situated on the right hand side of the unit and the gas inlet is on the right hand side of the valve.

Note: If the gas line is being installed from the left side, be sure to leave room to accommodate servicing of the fan.
The gas line connection may be made of rigid pipe, copper pipe or an approved flex connector. (If you are using rigid pipe, ensure that the valve can be removed for servicing.) Since some municipalities have additional local codes it is always best to consult with your local authorities and the CAN/CGA B149 installation code.

GAS PIPE PRESSURE TESTING
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa). Disconnect piping from valve at pressures over 1/2 psig.

WIRING DIAGRAM

This heater does not require a 120V A.C. supply for operation. In case of a power failure, the burner switch and the optional remote control/thermostat will continue to operate.

However, a 120V A.C. power supply is needed for the fan/blower operation.
(Do not cut the ground terminal off under any circumstances.)

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.

Caution: Ensure that the wires do not touch any hot surfaces and are away from sharp edges.

CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

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 appliance with the glass removed.

5. Verify that the venting and cap are unobstructed.

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. When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas knob further counter clockwise to the “ON” position.

AERATION ADJUSTMENT

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
7. Use the wall switch, thermostat or remote control to turn off the main burner.
8. Turn the main gas control clockwise to the “OFF” position to turn off the pilot.
9. Turn off all electric power to appliance if service is to be performed.

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. 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 resulting from improperly setting the aeration controls is NOT covered under warranty.

8. The unit should never be turned off, and on again without a minimum of a 60 second wait.

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.

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. Depress 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.

When first operated, the unit will release an odour 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.

Adjustment Wire: Push to close or pull to open aeration cap.

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 condensation and fog the glass. This condensation is normal and will disappear in a few minutes as the glass heats up.
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.

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.
NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS OF GAS APPLIANCES
It is possible that you will hear some sounds from your gas appliance. This is perfectly normal due to the fact that there are various gauges and types of steel used within your appliance. Listed below are some examples. All are normal operating sounds and should not be considered as defects in your appliance.

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 burner tube(s) and logs and is made of a different gauge material from the rest of the firebox and body. Therefore, the varying thicknesses of steel 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.
Pilot Flame: While the pilot flame is on it can make a very slight “whisper” sound.
Gas Control Valve: As the gas control valve turns ON and OFF, a dull clicking sound may be audible, this is normal operation of a gas regulator or valve.
Unit Body/Firebox: Different types and thicknesses of steel will expand and contract at different rates resulting in some “cracking” and “ticking” sounds will be heard throughout the cycling process.
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 vacuuming 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 StoveBright 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.

30

Excalibur P95 Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

MAINTENANCE

5. The appliance and venting system must be inspected before use, and at least annually, by a qualified field service person, to ensure that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
   Note: Never operate the appliance without the glass properly secured in place.
6. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance 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 serviced check that the vent-air system has been properly resealed & reinstalled in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Verify operation after servicing.
   General Vent Maintenance
   Conduct an inspection of the venting system semi-annually. Recommended areas to inspect as follows:
9. 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 components should be replaced immediately.
10. Remove the Cap, and shine a flashlight down the Vent. Remove any bird nests, or other foreign material.
11. Check for evidences of excessive condensation, 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.
12. 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.

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 Installation.
Note: Improper positioning of logs may create carbon build-up and will severely alter the unit’s performance 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. Disconnect 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).
DOOR GLASS
Your Excalibur fireplace is supplied with high temperature, 5 mm Neoceram ceramic glass that will withstand the highest heat that your unit 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.
In the event that you break your glass by impact, purchase your replacement from an authorized Excalibur dealer only, and follow our stepby-step instructions for replacement.
WARNING: Do not operate the appliance with the glass panels removed, cracked or broken. Replacement of the glass panels should be done by a licensed or qualified service person.
Caution: Wear gloves when removing damaged or broken glass.
Glass Replacement
Remove the glass door front (as per instructions on page 25). 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 gasketing around it.
