MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
The high-heat paint and gold plating can be cleaned with
a soft moist cloth. Use a mild detergent and water.
Do
not use abrasive cleaners!
ASHES
Clean the ashes before they become too deep, i.e.,
before you have a spillage problem when opening the
doors.
Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight
fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed
on a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away
from all combustible materials, pending final disposal. If
the ashes are disposed of by burial, or otherwise locally
dispersed, they should be retained in the closed con-
tainer until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.
DOORS
Keep the door latch and hinges lubricated with all-pur-
pose grease at least annually. To adjust the door closer,
tighten the Allen screw (as shown in figure 2) to ensure
that the door closes tightly. The hinges are adjustable
by removing the cap on top, and loosening the nut un-
derneath (picture 1). The hinge pins are manufactured
off-center to facilitate easy adjustment. With a flat screw-
driver, the pins can be turned so that the doors seal well
and fit with each other (picture 2). After adjustment,
tighten the nuts, holding the hinge pins in place with the
screwdriver, and replace the hinge caps.
If the door seal is damaged to the point where it does
not seal tightly, replace the gasket. The gasket replace-
ment kit (part FD-GRK2) is available from your dealer.

Picture 2
It is normal to push on the handle to close the doors
(picture 3). To verify that the doors are well sealed, in-
sert a piece of paper between the door and the fireplace
(picture 4). On the top part, you should not be able to
pull out the paper without tearing it. On the side and
bottom part, you should be able to pull out the piece of
paper with some resistance (picture 5).
The doors sealing is the most important factor that
affect the burning control on the Opel 2000 fire-
place.
Make sure that they are well sealed.
