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

For stoves equipped with HI/LO valves, flame adjustment
is accomplished by rotating the HI/LO adjustment knob
