OPEL AP OPTIONS
Just a few comments about your Opel AP options. The
size and shape of your home and how you intend to use
your fireplace will determine the options you require.
For a basic, high-efficiency fireplace, you won't need any
options or electricity.
Automatic temperature control can be accomplished by
adding the thermostat option (FDHC4). The thermostat

For more heat output and increased air circu-
from the face
lation, you can add the internal blower
of the fireplace
(FDHB5). For larger homes in colder climates,
this is an important option if you plan to use
the fireplace as a serious source of heat.
NOTE: It will be difficult to install the internal
blower if wiring is not run during framing. If
there is any chance that this option will be
installed in the future, power should be run to
the fireplace and wire must be run to a switch
box at a convenient place on the wall for
mounting the blower control.
If you have rooms directly above or adjacent to the room
with the fireplace that you would like to heat, you may
consider the gravity vent option (FDV). The gravity vent
distributes hot air to these rooms and requires no blower
to assist its operation. However, with the internal blower
(FDHB5-N) installed, there will be some increase in
warm air movement to rooms serviced by the gravity
vent.
If you desire even heat throughout your home strictly
from your fireplace, or if you want to move heat to a
remote area of your home, it is recommended that you
incorporate the central heat option (parts FDHB6, FDHC6
and FDHC6-1). A thermostatically controlled blower takes
heat from the fireplace, and distributes the warm air

WALL THERMOSTAT (FDHC4)
This optional kit allows you to control the temperature by
a remote mounted electric wall thermostat.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that this kit be
installed during framing so that the wiring can be easily
hidden.
1. Remove both top and bottom louvers. The top louver
is held in place by springs underneath, so push down
from the top, then rotate and pull forward. The bottom
louvers can be opened by pulling the right hand side
of the louvers. To completely remove the louvers,
when opened, push up the louver to remove the bot-
tom of the hinge rod from its hole and pull the louvers.
2. The damper motor and transformer are mounted on a
bracket in the bottom right hand corner of the fire-
place (see Figure 15).
