Intrepid® Direct Vent - Rear Vent Gas Heater

Operation

The Intrepid is operated with the operable door front plate in
place with the doors open or closed. To open the front doors,
pull either door toward you.

Your First Fire

Read these instructions carefully and familiarize yourself
with the burner controls shown in Figure 63. Locate the pilot
assembly, Figure 64. Follow the lighting instructions on 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 a few hours. You can open a
window to provide fresh air to alleviate the condition.

Pilot and Burner Inspection

Each time you light your heater check that the pilot flame
and burner flame pattern are as shown in Figure 66. 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 on
page 37.

accomplished by rotating the HI/LO adjustment knob located
near the center of the gas control valve. (Figure 65)

Flame Characteristics

It is important to periodically perform a visual check of the
pilot and the burner flames. Compare them to Figure 66. If
any of the flames appear abnormal call a service person.
