DOOR(S) ADJUSTMENT
For Double Doors – OPEL2
The door latch and hinges can be adjusted for proper sealing of the
doors. It is normal to push on the handle to close the doors. Add
some of the high temperature grease provided to the door latch and
hinges at least annually.
To ensure a proper seal, you need to adjust the tightness of the
doors against the front of the fireplace as follows:
1. To tighten the center area of the doors, turn the Allen key screw
clockwise (see Figure 3).
2. To tighten the side area of each door, start by slightly loosening
the nuts below the door hinges of the right-hand door.
3. Close the door without latching it but make sure the door pawl is
engaging in the door latch.
4. Adjust the door so that the joint between the two doors is straight
and level.
5. Push the right-hand door firmly against the facing of the
fireplace to ensure a good seal while tightening the hinge nuts.
Use a screw driver on the bottom of the hinge pin and a wrench
to tighten the nut (see Figure 4).
6. Continue by loosening the nuts below the door hinges of the left-
hand door.
7. Adjust the left door so that the top arch and the joint are flush
with the right-hand door.
8. With the right-hand door open, push the door firmly against the
facing of the fireplace to ensure a good seal while tightening the
hinge nuts.
9. Verify the seal with the sheet of paper as described above. You
may need to retighten the door latch after adjusting the doors.
