Fig. 19 The damper is either open or closed. There are no
intermediate positions.
Side View
The damper has no intermediate positions.
When closing the damper, push firmly until you feel
the mechanism engage into the locked position.
Glass Door Panels
The glass panels in the doors have a heat-reflective
coating on the outside surface. Heat reflected back to
the inside of the glass helps keep the inner surface at
a higher temperature than the outside. In combination
with preheated primary combustion air ‘washing’ over
the inside of the glass, this helps provide clear fire-
viewing at most operating levels.
Front Grate
Your stove has a front grate to keep fuel away from
the glass panels. These bars are important to maintain
clear fire viewing and to keep the fuel off the glass.
Under normal operating circumstances should not be
removed.
Two Ways to Add Fuel
The Intrepid Multi-fuel’s griddle lifts for convenient
top-loading of logs, and is the easiest way of regularly
adding fuel. The front doors open as well to allow you
to tend the fire with a variety of fuels. Use the included
slicer/poker to help ash accumulation fall through the
grate and to enliven the fire after adding fuel. (Fig. 20)
WARNING: For safety and greatest efficiency, oper
-
ate your stove only with all doors/griddles fully
closed.

To open the front doors, insert the handle into the door
latch stub and turn it to the left and up. To close them,
always close the left door first. Turn the handle in the
right door to the left and up (to the open position) and
close the door. Push on the door as you turn the handle
to the right and down. The doors will draw in slightly,
and the handle should offer some resistance as you
turn it to the closed position. (Fig. 21)

holder behind the right front leg of the stove.
