WARNING: IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE
INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR
EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY
DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
CAUTION: LIGHTING THE BARI FOR THE FIRST
TIME AND ADJUSTMENTS TO THE UNIT SHOULD
BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
This appliance is designed only for use with the
type(s) of fuel gas indicated on the rating plate. This
appliance is not convertible for use with other gases,
unless a certified kit is used.
Cet appareil doit être atilisé uniquement avec les
types de gas indiqués sur la plaque signalétique. Ne
pas l’utiliser avec d’autres gas sauf si un kited
conversion certifié est installé. )

ARNING
When lit for the first time, the Bari will emit some
smoke and fumes. This is normal “off-gassing” of
the paints and oils used in the manufacturing and
assembly of the unit. Open windows to vent the
room if necessary. The off-gassing and fumes will
subside after the first 10 to 20 minutes of operation.
O
DORS AND
I
MPURITIES
A heater of this type may produce other odors during
heater operation due to impurities that may exist in
the immediate area. Sources of impurities can be
cleaning solvents, paint solvents, cigarettes,
candles, smoke, pet hair, dust, adhesives, new
carpet, and/or textiles. Such odors usually dissipate.
However, opening a window or otherwise providing
additional ventilation to the area can alleviate the
condition quickly. If any odor persists, remove
potential sources, or contact your dealer or an
authorized service technician.

IGHT
The Bari has a piezoelectric spark igniter (the black
push button located next to the gas control valve
behind the valve access door), which ignites the pilot
light by means of a spark at the pilot light assembly.
CAUTION:

PILOT
OR
BURNER
BY
HAND!
Never attempt to light the pilot or main burner by
hand with a match or lighter. If, after repeated
attempts, the pilot light fails to light using the
piezoelectric ignitor, discontinue operation; turn off
the gas to the gas control valve, and immediately
contact qualified service personnel for assistance.

IGHTING
Prepare for the lighting procedure by adjusting the
thermostat (if equipped) to its lowest setting or OFF
position. If the gas control knob is not in the OFF
position, turn the knob fully clockwise to OFF. Locate
the variable output control knob and turn it fully
clockwise to the highest setting.
Prior to lighting the unit for the first time, wait 5
minutes to allow any residual gas within the unit to
dissipate. Smell all around the appliance area for
gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some
gases (LP) are heavier than air and will settle on the
floor. If you do not smell gas after this five-minute
period, proceed with the lighting procedure. If you do
smell gas, DO NOT proceed with the lighting
procedure. Instead,
immediately refer to the What
to Do If You Smell Gas Warning, on the cover of
this manual.
NOTE:
The valve control has an interlock
device. After shutting off all gas flow, the pilot
burner cannot be relit until the thermocouple has
cooled, releasing the electromagnet (approx. 60
seconds). The gas control knob is designed to
operate by hand. Do not use any tools during
this operation. Damaged knobs may result in
serious injury.

DJUSTMENTS
Once the Bari is assembled, in place, and connected
as described in the “Clearances To Combustibles”,
“Venting Components & Configurations,” “Electrical
Connections”, and “Gas Supply and Connections”
sections of this manual, the unit is almost ready to
light for the first time. Hearthstone tests each unit
prior to shipment, so ignition should take place
without failure. However, a number of small
adjustments may be necessary to compensate for
variations in gas pressure, altitude, and other factors
particular to each installation.

ONTROL
The gas control valve is equipped with a variable
output control. This control varies the rate of heat
produced by the unit by varying the gas pressure to
the TEK Burner. A combination of heat output and
the thermostat setting affect the length of the burn
