OPEL PLUS C Owner's Manual 4 RSF Woodburning Fireplaces
We do not recommend using wax fuel logs (e.g. Duraflame) in this fireplace because it will dirty the glass. If you
choose to use them, do not use more than one at a time and do not poke or stir while it is burning. Use only firelogs
that have been evaluated for fireplace use. In Canada, they must meet the requirements of ANSI/CAN/UL/ULC
2115, Processed Solid Fuel Firelogs and Firestarters. Refer to the firelog warnings and caution markings on
packaging prior to use.
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS
The Opel fireplace has been shown to deliver heat ranging from 10 000 to 70 000 BTU/h with an average of 55
000BTU/h. Please refer to the "Improving Efficiency", the "Importance of Draft", the "Burn Time vs. Heat Output"
and the "Fuel" sections to better understand the various factors that influence the efficiency and heat output of your
fireplace.
THE COMBUSTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Since the door(s) is sealed, all combustion air must come through the OPEL's draft control. This control has a
bimetal coil to allow more air when the unit is cold, and less air when the unit is hot, guarding against overheating.
It can be controlled either manually with the lever that is located on the right below the door, or automatically with
an optional electric wall thermostat.
For the first few days, it is best to operate the fireplace with the manual control fully open (moved to the right as far
as possible). Just control the fire as you would any normal fireplace, using one or two logs at a time for a smaller
fire, or more logs for more heat. Once you become familiar with operating the fireplace with the control open, you
can start experimenting with lower settings. Remember: when the fireplace is hot, the control will not need as much
movement to reduce the fire as when it is cold. The bimetal coil will already have shut the damper part way. See
the "OPERATION" section for the details.
OPTIONS
Louver Options
You can choose to install louvers – with or without the upper louver – louvers are available in various styles (regular
black: FO-OPLB; or decorative black: FO-OPLC) or no louvers at all (FO-F2).
If you choose to install only the lower louver while bocking off the upper louver on your OPEL fireplace, you MUST
install two Gravity Vent Kits (see "Gravity vent Options" below). Gravity vent dampers may not be installed on an
OPEL with a blocked upper louver.
If you choose to install your OPEL fireplace without any louvers, you MUST install the Clean Face Option (FO-F2)
along with two Gravity Vent Kits (see "Gravity vent Options" below). Gravity vent dampers may not be installed on
a Clean Face OPEL. Furthermore, we recommand that you do not install any option requiring electricity or a thermal
switch inside your fireplace since it will be difficult to access those components after the fireplace facing is covered
with non-combustible materials. If you decide nevertheless to install electricity or a thermal switch in your Clean
Face OPEL, remember that you may eventually have to break through the non-combustible finishing to access the
electrical box or the thermal switch for servicing.
OPEL Top Louver Trim
The Opel Top Louver Trim (FO-OPLT) is a frame-style trim that provides a clean
finish around the top louver opening. It is most commonly used with thin facings
such as tile or cement board where the cut edge is visible around the louver.
Gravity vent Options
Gravity vent kits allow hot air to be ducted from the fireplace to a room above or
on the same level as the fireplace. OPEL installations without the Top Louver
require two gravity vents for heat circulation.
Each gravity vent kit includes 5’ of insulated flexible ducting, a fireplace adapter,
an outlet grill adapter, and a decorative outlet grill.
Additional 5’ lenghts of insulated flexible ducting can be ordered with the part code
FO-DUCT5. Nevertheless, gravity vents have a maximum length of 15’.
