6. Continue by loosening the nuts below the door hinges of the left hand

right hand door.
8. With the right hand door open, push the door firmly against the facing of

For Single Door – OPEL3C
The door hinge can be adjusted for proper sealing of the left side of the door.
Since the door latch is progressive, the more your turn the handle the tighter
the seal on the right side of the door. Beware not to always over tighten the
door latch; this will result in premature failure of the door gasket.
To insure a proper seal, you need to adjust the tightness of the door against
the front of the fireplace as follows:
1. To tighten the left side of the door, slightly loosen the screws holding the
hinge to the door (see Figure 7).
2. With the door open, push the door towards the facing of the fireplace so
as to move the hinge towards the center of the door. This will move the
door slightly closer to the facing of the fireplace when it is closed.
3. Continue by retightening all the hinge screws on the door.
4. Verify the alignment of the door with the firebox opening and the latch
opening.
5. If necessary, slightly loosen the screws holding the hinge to the fireplace
facing (see Figure 8). Move the door with the hinge as desired. Retighten
all the hinge screws on the fireplace.
6. Verify the seal with the sheet of paper as described above.
