ABOUT YOUR NEW INTREPID GAS STOVE
The Intrepid decorative coal effect gas stoves incorporate a unique and highly developed
fuel bed, which gives the realism of a loose coal layout, combined with realistic flames and
glow. The use of durable hard ceramic material in the construction of the fuelbed
components ensures long and troubles free operation.
When first using the new stove a slight smell may be noticed. This is due to starch used in
the manufacture of the soft ceramic coals, it is non-toxic and will soon disappear.
Please take the time to fully read these instructions, as you will then be able to obtain the
most effective and safe operation of your stove.
