Operating Instructions

A. Operation
The Intrepid DV is operated with the front plate in place
with the doors open or closed. To open the front doors, pull
forward to separate the magnetic catch. Ensure the safety
barrier screen is in place during operation.
B. Lighting Instructions
Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself with
the lighting instructions. Section F, "Lighting and Operating
Instructions". Locate the pilot assembly, Figure 4.1. Follow
the lighting instructions in this manual exactly.
During the first fire, it is not unusual to smell some odor
associated with new logs, paint and metal being heated.
Odors should dissipate within the first eight to ten hours,
however, you can open a window to provide fresh air to
alleviate the condition.
C. Pilot and Burner Inspection
Each time you light your heater check that the pilot flame and
burner flame patterns are as shown in Figure 4.2. If flame
patterns are incorrect, turn the heater off. Contact your dealer
or a qualified gas technician for assistance. Do not operate
the heater until the pilot flame is correct.
Follow regular maintenance procedures as described in the
Cleaning and Maintenance section of this manual.
