ORACLE
to the point where it does not seal tightly, replace it. The
gasket replacement kit, part FDGRK1 is available from
your dealer.
If you want the ORACLE fireplace door to open from the
opposite side, i.e. if the door presently opens right to left
with the handle on the right, and you would like to
reverse this operation, follow these instructions: (refer
to Figure 1b).
1. Remove the top and bottom louvers by pulling the
louvers down and out.
2. With the door still closed, remove the top hinge by
removing the 2 nuts.
3. Carefully remove the door by opening the door latch
and lifting the door off the bottom hinge.
4. Remove the bottom hinge and both closer pins. The
closer pins are held with a nut underneath the
flange.
5. Remove the closer hook by pushing out the split pins
with a drift.
6. Reassemble with door upside down, making sure
the closer hooks point away from the door.
7. Reassemble the hinges on the opposite side to
where they were located.
8. Install the closer pins on the opposite side and
adjust, so the door closer 'clicks' closed easily.
GLASS
In the ORACLE, temperatures are not always high
enough to keep the glass clean. We have supplied you
with special ceramic glass, which will withstand the heat
from the fireplace without cracking. A good hot fire in the
morning usually cleans most of the soot accumulated
during the night. You can also purchase stove glass
cleaner from your local speciality fireplace retailer.
Remember the drier the wood, the cleaner the glass. Be
careful not to hit the glass. Although heat will not break
ceramic glass, a good blow can.
NEVER
clean this glass with an abrasive cleaner. Use
only a cleaner recommended by your dealer. Never
clean the glass while it is hot. Do not operate the fire-
place with the glass broken or removed.
If your glass breaks:
See your dealer for the exact replacement glass. If the
gasket is damaged it must be replaced with the identi-
cal kind (R7000). Place the gasket around the top and
bottom edges of the glass (it is self-sticking).
1. Remove the door from the fireplace by removing the
top hinges.
2. Remove the top clip holding the glass by loosening
the screws on the back of the door.
3. After cleaning out any bits of glass and soot from the
glass retainer, set the glass into door opening and
add a drop of silicone sealer near each end to keep
the glass from sliding out.
4. Replace the clip being careful not to overtighten the
screws.
GOLD PLATING
Your doors frames and optional gold louvers are plated
with gold and they will not tarnish. However, they are
not scratch resistant and require totally non-abrasive
cleaning.
Use only mild soap and water to clean the
gold when the surface is cool
. The use of any house-
hold cleaner such as Windex, abrasive cleaners, or any
form of acid, will permanently etch the gold plating.
Before every fire, be absolutely sure to wipe off all fin-
gerprints and debris from the gold plating. Acid from
your fingerprints may permanently etch the gold plating.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
Check the chimney for creosote build-up every week
until experience shows how often cleaning is necessary.
A build-up of ¼ inch or more should be cleaned mechan-
ically before more creosote accumulates. Use a 7 inch
wire brush.
