RSF Woodburning Fireplaces
MANDATORY OPTIONS WITH THE CLEAN FACE
When installing a Clean Face (FO-F) on your OPEL3, you MUST install the intake duct (part of FO-F) to provide
sufficient air to the unit along with two Gravity Vent Kits (FO-V, sold separately) to provide an evacuation path for
the heat. Neglecting to install either one of these will result in overheating of the unit and may put your safety at
risk. Refer to each option's installation instructions for particular details.
Use only genuine RSF parts. The use of any substitutes will decertify the system and may put your safety at risk.
REFRACTORY BRICK INSTALLATION
Before lighting your first fire, you must
make sure the refractory bricks are
properly installed inside the firebox. This
is easily accomplished with the following
instructions. To remove any of the
refractory bricks, just follow the
installation procedure in the reverse
sequence. Refer to Figure 16 to
adequately identify which refractory
brick is the left and which is the right at
each step of the installation.
1. First, pass the baffle (11.6.P)
through the front opening of the
fireplace. Then turn it parallel to the
opening with the narrower portion
on top. Slide the baffle up above the
bracket at the top of the firebox until
it is as far back as it can go.
2. Then install both back refractory
bricks (left 11.11.P and right
11.12.P).
3. Continue by installing both side rear
refractory bricks (left 11.9.P and
right 11.10.P). Just insert the top
corner of each refractory brick
behind the bracket and slide it
against the back refractory bricks.
4. Next install the front side refractory
bricks (left 11.7.P and right 11.8.P)
with the finished side towards the front of the unit.
5. Then install both left and right bottom refractory bricks (left 11.14.P and right 11.15.P) before installing the
bottom central refractory brick (11.18.P).
6. Finish by installing both front refractory bricks (left 11.17.P and right 11.16.P)
These refractory have been designed specifically for the OPEL3 and no modifications are required to ensure a
proper fit.
