EXCEL-FIRE GAS STOVE 9
Gas connection
• Move the EXCEL-FIRE to the desired
position and secure in place with four screws.
• Connect gas line to the stove using listed
connectors
• Check the gas line piping for leaks. Use a
soap and water solution.
WARNING: DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME TO
CHECK LEAKS.
Spill switch
The EXCEL-FIRE is fitted with a spill switch. This switch is designed to shut down the unit if the
flue system is not venting properly. This is usually due to negative pressure in the home or a bird's
nest in the flue. If the unit shuts down by itself without apparent reason, the spill switch may be
telling you the unit is not venting properly. Consult your service technician.
LIGHTING PROCEDURES
Before lighting
1. 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.
2. Make sure that there are no obstructions in the air intake or venting system.
3. Clear the immediate area of combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids and
vapours.
4. Make sure that the gas log is in its proper place.
5. Remove plastic film on brass trims
The first fire
During the first few hours of operation the appliance will release an odor. This is caused by the
burning off of residual oils used in the manufacturing process and by the curing of the high heat
paint. The ceramic glass window may require cleaning after this initial "burn in." Please read the
instructions on cleaning in the MAINTENANCE section before doing so.
WARNING: If you do not follow these lighting instructions exactly, a fire or explosion may
result causing property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
