The tension in the bimetal spring holds the flap closed until the heat warms the spring and makes it (un?)-wind (-up?), so I think if you take the covers off the flaps will open, and when you put them back on, the spring won't engage properly so it won't do anything. Best to remove the power too. Dave.
