a fire. Hearthstone tests each wood stove before we

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. 13).
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:
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
ensure 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.
