RSF Woodburning Fireplaces
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
CONTROLLING THE HEAT OUTPUT
The ORACLE2 fireplace is not only designed to provide warm radiant heat on two sides, but also to help heat
your home. Although it does not come with a draft control, you will find that you can control the intensity of the fire
quite well by varying the size and placement of the logs.
For a cooler and lazy fire, load 2 to 3 large logs with the log sides facing you (not the ends) in the center of the
hearth, between the andirons.
For a warmer and brighter fire, load a number of small logs with the ends facing you so that one end comes very
close to the glass. Alternate the logs between both sides of the fireplace, half of the logs close to one glass while
the other half of the logs are closer to the other glass. Since the combustion air is near the glass, it will create a
more vigorous fire.
OPTIONS
Your ORACLE2 fireplace comes equipped with black cast iron doors and black louvers. You can add some color
and style by adding decorative trims to your cast iron doors: gold plated (FO-NDTG) or pewter plated (FO-NDTP).
To simplify the installation of thin non-combustible materials such as ceramic tile or sliced brick, we have
designed a rock retainer kit (FO-KR) It is not designed or required for full brick or stone. Thin materials can also
be installed directly on the face of the ORACLE2 using high temperature silicone as glue, without a rock retainer
kit.
If you have any rooms directly above or adjacent to the room with the fireplace that you would like to heat, you
may want to consider the Gravity Vent Kit (FO-V2). The gravity vent distributes hot air to these rooms and
requires no blower to assist its operation. You could also consider installing a Damper (FO-D) on your gravity
vent. The dampers will enable you to choose between sending the heated air to the gravity vent outlet or keeping
it in the fireplace room.
Detailed installation instructions are included in the box with each option. These can also be obtained from our
Internet Web Site: www.icc-rsf.com.
WARNING: THIS FIREPLACE HAS NOT BEEN TESTED WITH AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET. TO
REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OR INJURY, DO NOT INSTALL AN UNVENTED GAS LOG SET INTO THIS
FIREPLACE.
