ORACLE2 Owner's Manual

RSF Woodburning Fireplaces
To convert the ORACLE2 please carefully follow the following steps:
1. There is a 1 ¼" hole on both sides of the fireplace, about 12 ¾" up from the bottom of the fireplace. The gas
line must come into the fireplace through one of these holes. Choose the side of installation that is more
convenient to you.
2. There are a few parts that you need to remove from the ORACLE2 to be able to accommodate a gas firelog.
Make sure to store them for safekeeping, you will need to reinstall them all if you ever intend to burn wood
again in your ORACLE2:
•
Remove both bottom refractory bricks from the firebox.
3. You will need to drill four 1" diameter holes on the bottom of the firebox. They should be aligned, parallel to
the doors and half way between both doors. They should be 6" spaced apart, center to center, and centered
between both side refractory bricks.
4. The right side refractory bricks (11.2.R) already have a hole to allow the gas line through. You only need to
clean out the gray sealant out of the hole on the selected installation side to be able to pass the gas line
through and into the firebox.
5. Make sure to leave the four holes completelly open, this will bring air to the gas log.
6. Proceed with the installation of the gas log as per the gas log manufacturer installation instructions. Make
sure to carefully read and follow the gas log installation instructions. Make sure also to respect all clearances
stated by the gas log manufacturer.
WARNING: THE MAXIMUM GAS OUTPUT ALLOWED IN THE ORACLE2 IS 40,000 BTUS. THE GAS LOG
HAS TO BE LISTED TO ANSI Z21.60/CSA 2.26.
When operating an ORACLE2 with a gas log installed, make sure to follow the gas log manufacturer operating
instructions.
