Operating Your Bari Wood Stove

Once your Bari is set in place, connected, and assembled,
you are ready to light a fire. HearthStone tests each wood
stove before we ship it, so you will easily light your first fire.

Read this entire chapter before lighting your first fire. It
explains the controls and features of your wood stove, how to
choose firewood, and how to use your stove on a daily basis.

Before lighting any fires, become familiar with the location
and operation of your stove's controls and features and learn
how to use them (See Fig, 9). For your own safety, do not
modify these features in any way. The Bari wood stove
radiates heat into the surrounding area. In doing this, the
controls of the heater can become very hot. Please use
caution when using any of the controls. Do not use the
controls unless the stove is cool or you use the provided
hearth glove.
FRONT DOOR HANDLE: (This becomes hot during
operation. Use the provided fireplace glove to open the
handle while the stove is in use) The front door allows you to
load wood into your stove; a fixed handle operates the front
door. To open the door, pull out on the handle and pull the
door away from the stove. To latch the door, push the door
tightly towards the firebox then continue to push the handle
until it latches shut. Gently pull on the door handle to make
sure it is properly latched.
ASH GRATE LEVER: (This becomes very hot during
operation. It is best to operate the ash removal system after
the stove cools.) To access the lever, open the control door
located under the front door. The grate lever is located above
the ash pan. Use the ash grate lever to open the ash grate to
move the ashes from the firebox to the ash pan. Pull the lever
out to open the grate. Once you have sifted the ashes through
the grate into the ash pan, push the lever back in towards the
stove to close the grate.
ASH PAN: (This becomes hot during operation. It is best to
remove the ash pan only after the stove cools). To access the
ash pan you must open the control door, which is located
under the firebox door. Open the control door and locate the
ash pan handle. To remove the ash pan, grip the handle,
rotate it clockwise ¼ turn, and then pull it out. The lid for the
ash pan is stored under the ash pan. Use the lid to contain the
ashes during transport for disposal. The lid must be stored
in place under the ash pan to support it, or the pan will
not seal properly. The ash pan collects the ash residue from
HearthStone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ®
each fire and when full, allows you to remove the ash
conveniently from your wood stove. Clear the firebox of
ashes periodically by opening the ash grate in the bottom of
the firebox. Sift the ashes through the grate into the ash pan,
and then return the grate to its closed position.
To replace the ash pan, place the pan lid back into the bottom
of the ash pan receptacle and slide the ash pan back into
place on top of the lid. The lid must be upright to support the
ash pan properly. Turn the ash pan handle counter-clockwise
¼ turn to tighten the seal around the pan and hold the pan in
place.
Do not operate the stove unless the ASH PAN is in place,
and properly sealed. Not doing this could overheat and
damage the stove.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL: (This becomes hot during
operation. It is best to operate the primary air system with
the provided fireplace glove, or after the stove is cool.) The
primary air control handle is located on the front lower right
of the stove, just under the ash pan. The primary air control
allows you to regulate the amount of air entering the firebox.
Generally, the more air allowed into the firebox, the faster
the rate of burn; conversely, less air creates a slower burn.
For maximum air flow, pull the primary air handle as far out
as possible; push the primary air control handle in as far as
possible for minimum air flow (does not close completely).
ROTATION CONTROL:
Your Bari rotates a full 180 degrees. With the stove centered
on your hearth, it will rotate 90 degrees to the left and 90
degrees to the right.
To access the rotation control you must open the control door
that is located under the firebox door. Open the control door
and locate the flip-down lever. Push down on the lever to
free the unit to rotate to the position you desire. Once the
stove is in position, release the lever and slightly turn the
stove to ensure it locks into position. If the stove is
positioned as you like, close the control door and enjoy the
fire.
