HEARTH REQUIREMENTS AND FLOORPROTECTION

The Bari wood stove has a unique feature thatallows it to rotate. This rotation allows positioning the
body of the stove into 13 different positions, up to afull 90 degrees to either side. In order to install theBari onto the smaller hearth protector shown in
Figure 2, you must lock the stove in place. To dothis, follow the instructions below:

Ensure you protect combustible flooring with acovering of a noncombustible material. The floor
protection must extend beyond the body of thestove at the minimum as follows:
In Figures 1 and 2 you will find two hearth options;
one hearth for the freely rotating stove and the otherfor the locked stove.

OUTSIDE AIR SUPPLYThe chimney connector cannot pass through afloor or ceiling, nor any attic or roof space, closet
or similar concealed space. Where venting
requires passage through a wall or partition of
combustible construction, the installation must
conform to NFPA Code 211 or CAN/CSA - B365.



It is very important to follow minimum clearances
for chimney connectors to combustibles such as
walls and ceilings when installing the stove.
Typical chimney connector clearances are
outlined below. The single wall clearances are
generic; the double wall clearances shown are for
Simpson DuraVent DVL.

CHECK THE SPECIFICATIONS FROM THE
MANUFACTURER OF YOUR CONNECTOR.

(Kit #91- 53700)
You can connect an outside air source directly tothis stove using an optional outside air kit. The
advantage of providing outside air directly to thestove is that the air used by the stove for combustion
is taken from outside the residence rather than fromwithin the room where the stove is located.
The outside air kit for this stove allows for the directconnection of the stove's air intake to a minimum 3"(76 mm) diameter duct (supplied by others) whichleads to the outside of the house. When considering
placement of the duct from the outside of the houseto the hearth, keep in mind the need to avoid
structural members of the house. The outside air kit
will attach to the back of the stove.

COMPONENTS OF A VENTING SYSTEMThe International Residential Code (IRC) does notallow the outside air duct to terminate higher than
the appliance. Some building officials also do not
like to see any vertical rise in the duct’s termination.
Hearthstone recommends the termination be at thesame level, or lower than the air intake on the stove.

The complete venting system consists of several
components: chimney connector, wall thimble, wallpass-through, chimney, and liner. It is absolutely
necessary that you install all of these components
and maintain the clearances to combustibles
discussed earlier to ensure a safe stove installation.

Locate the termination of the duct on the outside
wall of the home in such a manner to avoid thepossibility of obstruction by snow, leaves or othermaterial. Screen the termination using ¼” x ¼” meshrodent screen and cover it with a rain/wind proof
hood (flex pipe, outside termination, mesh, and hoodsupplied by others) Contact your dealer foravailability).

To protect against the possibility of a house fire, youmust properly install and constantly maintain theventing system. Upon inspection, immediately
replace rusted, cracked, or broken components.


The chimney connector is the stovepipe from thewoodstove to the chimney. The chimney
connector stovepipe is 6" (152 mm) diameter, 24
MSG or 25 MSG blued steel connector pipe. Do
not use aluminum or galvanized steel pipe - theycannot withstand the extreme temperatures of awood fire.



The thimble is a manufactured (or siteconstructed) device installed in combustiblewalls through which the chimney connector
passes to the chimney. It keeps the walls from
igniting. You must use a wall thimble when
installing a chimney connector through a
combustible wall to the chimney.



A wall pass-through (or chimney support
package) also keeps the walls from igniting. You
must use one when connecting through a wall or
ceiling to a prefabricated chimney.



Only install this stove to a lined masonrychimney or an approved high temperature
prefabricated residential type building heating
appliance chimney. Do not connect this stove toa chimney serving another appliance; you willcompromise the safe operation of both the woodstove and the connected appliance.

VENTING COMPONENTS ANDCONFIGURATION REQUIREMENTSWARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS UNIT TO A
CHIMNEY FLUE USED BY ANOTHER APPLIANCE

Single wall connector that is 24 MSG or 25 MSG
blued steel stovepipe.

Double wall connector (close clearance pipe)
which is used with a listed, factory-built “Type HT"chimney or with a masonry chimney to reduceclearances, is available from several
manufacturers, your dealer can help you choose.
Some air insulated connector pipe models
available are Simpson Dura Vent DVL and
Metalbestos DS. Security, GSW and Ameritec
also have acceptable close clearance connector
pipe.
When used in a mobile home, a spark arrester isrequired. (See page 16)

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ®

Bari Model 8170

WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT THIS APPLIANCE
TO ANY AIR DISTRIBUTION DUCT OR SYSTEM.



Remember, the NFPA recommends minimum
clearances for chimney connectors to combustibles
such as walls and ceilings. Once the stove isinstalled at safe distances from these combustible
surfaces, it is important to maintain these connector
clearances for the remainder of the installation.

A liner is the UL 1777 or ULC S635 (for factorybuilt fireplace or masonry) chimney.

You must connect your stove to a chimney
comparable to those recommended in this manual.
Do not use stovepipe as a chimney. Use stovepipe
for freestanding installations only to connect thestove to a proper chimney.

CONNECTING THE STOVE TO A CHIMNEY
You can install your Bari to a prefabricated metalchimney, or a masonry chimney.

INSTALLING A VENTING SYSTEMCONNECTING TO A PREFABRICATED METAL CHIMNEY

Install the rotating flue collar adaptor to the top of thestove. Attach stovepipe sections to the rotating
adaptor and to each other with the crimped end
toward the stove. If creosote builds up, this allows
the creosote to run into the stove and not on theoutside of the stovepipe or onto the stove.

There are two ways to install a prefabricated metalchimney:

Secure all joints, including attaching the stovepipe tothe stove's flue collar, with three sheet metal screws.
Install #10 x 1/2" (3 mm x 13 mm) sheet metalscrews into the holes pre-drilled in the flue collar.
Disregarding the screws can cause joints toseparate from the vibrations that result from acreosote chimney fire.

2. An exterior installation where the chimney
passes through the wall behind the stove
then up the outside of the residence.

1. An interior installation where the chimney
passes inside the residence through theceiling and roof.

Whenever possible, choose an interior chimney. Aninterior chimney heats up quickly and retains its
heat; thus promotes a better draft and discourages
the formation of creosote. An exterior chimney does
not benefit from the warmth of the building, so it
typically operates at lower flue temperatures than aninterior chimney. An exterior chimney’s draft is not
as strong and may experience increased creosote
accumulation.

You can simplify connecting stovepipe by using
additional accessories such as telescoping pipes,
slip-connectors or clean-out tees. These accessories
ease the periodic inspection of your chimney, as well
as allow you to dismantle the stovepipe easily(without moving the stove).

When connecting the Bari to a prefabricated metalchimney, you must follow, precisely, themanufacturer's installation instructions. Use only
Type HT (2100 deg. F), prefabricated metalchimneys listed per UL 103 or ULC S629 standards.

Install the stove as close as practical to the chimney,
while maintaining all proper clearances. Install
stovepipe that is as short and as straight as
possible. Horizontal runs of stovepipe must always
rise away from the stove at a minimum of 1/4" perfoot (21mm/m).

Ensure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate
for the Bari. The Bari requires a 6" (152 mm) inside
diameter flue for new installations. A 6” diameter flueprovides adequate draft and performance. You can
use an 8" (203 mm) diameter existing flue with areducer. An oversized flue contributes to creosote
accumulation. (In this case, bigger is NOT better.)

We do not recommend long runs of stovepipe toincrease heat dispersal. Longer lengths of stovepipe
or more connecting elbows than necessary increase
the chances of draft resistance and theaccumulation of creosote buildup.

When purchasing a prefabricated chimney to installwith your stove, Ensure you also purchase from thesame manufacturer the wall pass-through (or ceilingsupport package), "T" section package, fire-stops(when needed), insulation shield, roof flashing,chimney cap, and any other needed accessories.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
installing the chimney and accessories. In addition,
ensureyou
maintainallmanufacturers’
recommendations for the proper clearances to thechimney.

In general, you do not need to install a stovepipe
damper with the Bari. Some installations, however,
could benefit from a stovepipe damper, such as atall chimney which can create a higher than normal
draft. In such cases, a damper can help regulate thedraft. The Bari requires a draft between 0.06" and0.1" WC. For drafts above 0.1" WC, install astovepipe damper. Check the draft at stove
installation time.

Bari Model 8170

CONNECTION TO A MASONRY CHIMNEY

Flue liner options:

Consider two primary elements when connecting
your stove to a masonry chimney: the chimney itself,
and the thimble where the stovepipe connects to thechimney. Use only Code approved masonrychimneys with an appropriate flue liner.

Tile - minimum wall thickness of 5/8" (16 mm)
Tile - installed with refractory mortar
Tile - at least 1" (25 mm) air space around liner
Stainless steel - UL listed 6” diameter
Stainless steel - fill space around liner withvermiculite (keeps liner warmer for better
performance)
Ensure an equivalent flue liner is a listed
chimney liner system meeting type HTrequirements or other approved material.

Before connecting to a masonry chimney, hire a
professional to examine the chimney for cracks,loose mortar, and other signs of deterioration andblockage. If the chimney needs repair, complete
them before installing and using your stove. Do notinstall your stove until the chimney is safe for use
Make sure the chimney’s cleanout is complete andworking properly. To avoid a loss of draft, thecleanout door must close completely and provide atight seal. If the cleanout door leaks, the chimney willcool, your stove will perform poorly, and creosote willbuild up.

Interior chimney requirements:
At least 2" (51 mm) clearance to combustible
materials
Fire stops installed at the spaces where thechimney passes through floors and/or ceiling
Any insulation is at least 2" (51 mm) from thechimney

Ensure the size of the chimney’s flue is appropriate
for this stove and that it is not too large. Use amasonry chimney with a maximum 8" x 8" (203 mm
x 203 mm) tile size for best results. An oversized flue
contributes to the accumulation of creosote.

Exterior chimney requirements:
At least 1" (25 mm) clearance to combustible
materials

Use the following checklist to ensure that yourmasonrychimneymeets
theseminimum
requirements:

Chimney height requirements (See Figure 10
below):At least 3 feet (0.9 m) higher than the highest
part of the roof opening through which it passes.
At least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any part of theroof within 10 feet (3 m) measured horizontallyfrom the top of the chimney.

Masonry Chimney wall construction:
Mortared brick or modular block at least 4" (102mm) thickA mortared rubble or stone wall

This stove requires a minimum chimney height of 13
feet (4 m). The maximum recommended chimneyheight is 30 feet (9m).

Operating Your Bari Wood Stove
Once your Bari is fully installed, you are ready tolight a fire. Hearthstone tests each wood stove
before we ship it, so you will easily light your firstfire.

rotate it clockwise ¼ turn, and then pull it out. The lid
for the ash pan is stored under the ash pan. Use thelid 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 fromeach fire and when full, allows you to remove theash conveniently from your wood stove. Clear thefirebox 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 returnthe grate to its closed position.

WARNING: HOT WHILE IN OPERATION! KEEP
CHILDREN, CLOTHING AND FURNITURE AWAY.
CONTACT CAN CAUSE SKIN BURNS.

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

To replace the ash pan, place the pan lid back into
the bottom of the ash pan receptacle and slide theash pan back into place on top of the lid. The lid
must be upright to support the ash pan properly.
Turn the ash pan’s handle counter-clockwise ¼ turnto tighten the seal around the pan and hold the panin place.

CONTROLS AND FEATURES
Before lighting any fires, become familiar with thelocation and operation of your stove's controls andfeatures and learn how to use them (See Fig. 13).
For your own safety, do not modify these features inany way. The Bari wood stove radiates heat into thesurrounding area. In doing this, the controls of theheater can become very hot. Please use caution
when using any of the controls. Do not use thecontrols unless the stove is cool or you use theprovided hearth glove.

Do not operate the stove unless the ASH
PAN is in place, and properly sealed. Not
doing this could overheat and damage thestove.
PRIMARY AIR CONTROL: (This becomes hot
during operation. It is best to operate the primary air
system with the provided fireplace glove, or after thestove is cool.) The primary air control handle islocated on the front lower right of the stove, justunder the ash pan. The primary air control allows
you to regulate the amount of air entering thefirebox. Generally, the more air allowed into thefirebox, the faster the rate of burn; conversely, lessair 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).

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 fixedhandle operates the front door. To open the door,
pull out on the handle and pull the door away fromthe 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 toensure 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 thelever, 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 tomove 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 thegrate.

ROTATION CONTROL: Your Bari rotates a full 180
degrees. With the stove centered on your hearth, itwill rotate 90 degrees to the left and 90 degrees tothe right. There are 13 possible positions.
To access the rotation control you must open thecontrol 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 toensure it locks into position. If the stove is positioned
as you like, close the control door and enjoy the fire.

ASH PAN: (This becomes hot during operation. It isbest to remove the ash pan only after the stovecools). To access the ash pan you must open thecontrol door, which is located under the firebox door.
Open the control door and locate the ash pan’s
handle. To remove the ash pan, grip the handle,

CHOOSING FIREWOOD
Your Bari Wood Heater is designed to only burnfirewood-also known as cordwood.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE CHEMICALS OR
FLAMMABLE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE,
NAPHTHA, KEROSENE, CHARCOAL LIGHTER
FLUID OR ENGINE OIL TO START A FIRE. DO
NOT USE CHARCOAL, PELLETS, COAL,ARTIFICIAL LOGS OR ANY OTHER MATERIALSAS FUEL; THEY ARE NOT SAFE. DO NOT BURNGARBAGE.

The quality of your firewood affects heat output,
duration of burn and performance of your Fireplace
Insert. Softwoods generally burn hotter and faster,while hardwoods burn longer and produce more long
lasting coals. Density and moisture content are two
critical factors to consider when purchasing wood foryour Fireplace Insert.

If you adhere to the operating procedures in thismanual, the steel, cast iron, and soapstonecomponents of your stove will give you many yearsof trouble-free use. With use, the color of thesoapstone will change and small fractures may
appear on the surface of the stone. These changes
will only add character and distinction to your stove.
Avoid the following conditions that can cause theglass, soapstone, steel or cast iron pieces to break:

Moisture content also plays a key role in theperformance of your stove. Wood freshly cut from aliving tree (green wood) contains a great deal ofmoisture. As you might expect, green wood has
difficulty burning and should be seasoned before
using it in your wood stove. To properly season
green wood: split, stack and allow to air dry for aperiod of one year.

Do not throw wood into the stove.
Do not use the door for leverage to force wood
into the stove.
Do not load wood encrusted with ice into aburning stove - the thermal shock can cause
damage.
Do not use a manufactured log grate. Burn thefire directly on the cast iron bottom of thefirebox.

Stack the firewood on skids or blocking to keep it off
the ground, cover only the top of the stack. Plastic
or tarps that cover the sides of the stack of woodtrap moisture and prevent the wood from drying. As
for stacking, an old Vermonter said, "The spaces
between the logs should be large enough for amouse to get through, but not for the cat that'schasing it."NORMAL OPERATION
Prior to loading the stove, make sure the ash grate
and the ash pan door are closed. If left open, thestove will over-fire and will suffer damage.

BUILDING A FIRE FOR EVERYDAY USE

Do not store Firewood within the stove’s
specifiedclearances
tocombustible
materials.

1) Open the front door and place five or six double
sheets of tightly twisted newspaper in the centerof the firebox. Arrange kindling in a tee-pee
configuration over the newspaper. Useapproximately 10 pieces of kindling, 1/2" (13mm) in diameter and 10" to 16" (254 mm to 406mm) long.

BUILDING A FIRE
Once you understand the controls of your woodstove and have the appropriate firewood, you areready to start a fire.

2) Fully open the primary air control by pulling itcompletely out, away from the firebox.

When you light your first fires, the woodstove will
emit some smoke and fumes. This is normal “offgassing” of the paints and oils used whenmanufacturing the woodstove. If you find it
necessary, open a few windows to vent your room.
The smoke and fumes will usually subside after 10
to 20 minutes of operation. The odor and smoke willend once the stove is “cured”.

3) Light the paper under the kindling. Leave thefront door slightly ajar momentarily until thekindling begins to burn and draft begins to pull.
4) Close the door and allow the fire to burn.
5) Once the kindling is burning, open the front door
and add logs, small at first, to build the fire up.
Ensure you keep the logs away from the glass infront in order for the air-wash system to work
properly. Keep the front door and ash pan
closed while the stove is in use.

The first fires may produce other odors from
impurities that exist in the area immediately
surrounding the stove. Some potential impurities arecleaning solvents, paint solvents, cigarette smoke,and soot from scented candles, pet hair, dust,
adhesives, a new carpet, and new textiles. Theseodors will dissipate over time. You can alleviatethese odors by opening a few windows or otherwise
creating additional ventilation around your stove. If
any odor persists, contact your dealer or an
authorized service technician.

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ®

6) Once the fire is burning well, use the primary aircontrol to regulate the desired rate of burn. Pull
the handle out to open the primary air control fora high rate of burn; or push it in for a low rate ofburn. The air control does not close completely.

20

Bari Model 8170

Note: When opening the front door to reload
or re-arrange logs, it is advisable to open thedoor just a crack, pause for a moment thenopen the door completely. This procedureallows the firebox to clear of smoke before
the door is open fully. In addition, reloading
on a bed of hot, red coals reduces smoking
time and brings fresh fuel up to a hightemperature rapidly.

INAPPROPRIATE FUEL: Do not burn coal; kiln
dried lumber, wax logs or anything other thannatural cordwood.
OPERATOR ERROR: Ensure all the gaskets
are in good condition. Replace worn out orcompressed gaskets. Do not burn the stove withthe front door, ash pan, or the ash grate in the
open position.
If you suspect that your stove is over-firing, contact
your dealer immediately. Damage caused by overfiring is not covered by your warranty. Results ofover-firing can include warped or burned out internal
parts, cracked vermiculite panels, discolored orwarped external parts, and damaged finish.

BURN RATEHIGH BURN: Fully load the firebox with wood on a
bed of hot coals or on an actively flaming fire andfully open the primary air control by pulling it all theway out, away from the firebox. A high burn rate
once or twice a day to heat the stovepipe andchimney fully, will help minimize creosote
accumulation.

REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL OF ASHES
Remove ashes only when the stove is cold. Useprotective fireplace gloves if the ash pan is warm.
Exercise extreme caution when handling, storing or
disposing of ashes.

MEDIUM HIGH BURN: With the primary air control
in the open position, push the control handle slightly
towards the firebox, or about ¼ to ½ the way in.

The ash pan is located behind the control door. The
ash pan collects burned ash from a fire and allows
you to remove the ash conveniently from your woodstove. Clear the firebox of ashes often, and do not
let them build up more than 3 inches high. It is
important to prevent ashes from building up aroundthe front door opening. To remove ashes, pull thegrate lever out to open the grate. Sift the ashes
across the grate into the ash pan. Then return theash grate to its closed position by pushing the leverback in towards the stove. The ash pan is easy toremove and has a handle and lid for convenient
disposal of ashes. The lid must be stored under theash pan when burning the stove. The ash pan will
not seal properly without the lid under it.

MEDIUM LOW BURN: With the primary air control
in the open position, push the handle inward about¾ of the way in. A medium-low burn rate is the
typical setting and is preferable if the stove isunattended.
LOW BURN: Push the primary air control inward all
the way to the firebox. This closes the air shutter to
its minimum opening. A low burn rate over extended
periods is not advisable as it can promote theaccumulation of creosote. Inspect the venting
system frequently if using low burn rates
consistently.

OVER-FIRE CAUTION
Over-firing means the stove is operating attemperatures
above
the
recommended
temperatures outlined in the BURN RATE section.
Carefully avoid over-firing, as it will damage thestove. Symptoms of chronic over-firing can include
warped components, short burn times, a roaring
sound in the stove or stovepipe, and discoloration of
the stovepipe.

Dump ashes from the ash pan directly into a metal
container with a tight fitting lid. Do not place anyother items or trash into the metal container. Do notpour water into the container. Replace thecontainer’s lid and allow the ashes to cool. Neverplace the ash disposal container on a combustible
surface or vinyl flooring, as the container could be
hot!

Excessive draft, inappropriate fuel, and operator
error can cause over-firing. Correct an over-firesituation as follows:

Pending disposal, place the closed ash container on
a noncombustible floor or on the ground, well awayfrom all combustible materials, liquid fuels, orvehicles. Retain ashes in the closed container until
all coals thoroughly cool.

EXCESSIVE DRAFT: Contact your local dealer
to have a draft reading taken. Any draft inexcess of 0.1 WC requires a damper in thestovepipe. Some installations may require morethan one damper.

Hearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ®

NEVER place ashes in wooden or plastic containers,in trashcans with other trash, or in paper or plastic
bags, no matter how long the fire has been out. Coals
within a bed of ashes can remain hot for several days
once removed from the firebox.

Maintenance
NOTE: ANY SYMPTOMS OF OVER-FIRING WILL
VOID YOUR WARRANTY!

the name of a certified chimney sweep in yourarea (your dealer may be a certified sweep!).
7. We recommend that before each heating
seasonyou
have
theentire systemprofessionally inspected, cleaned and repaired,
if necessary.

CREOSOTE FORMATION & NEED FORREMOVAL
When wood burns slowly at low temperatures, it
produces tar and other organic vapors, which
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
These creosote vapors condense in the relatively
cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result,creosote residue accumulates on the flue lining.
When ignited, this creosote makes an extremely hot
fire, which may damage the chimney or even destroy
the house. When burning wood, inspect the chimney
connector and chimney at least once every twomonths during the heating season to determine if
there is a creosote buildup.

DOOR REMOVAL PROCEDURE:
1. Open the door and remove the push nut fromthe upper hinge pin, and remove the pin.
2. Tilt the top of the door outward, and then lift thedoor up off the lower pin. The door weighs 81
pounds (37 kg) – so use a helper if necessary.
3. Ensure the brass washer remains in place on
the lower pin.
4. Place the door face down on a padded work
surface. Use two rolled up towels, or similar,
under the door to stabilize the curved door
during maintenance.

TO PREVENT THE BUILDUP OF CREOSOTE:
1. Burn the stove with the primary air control fully
open for 35 - 45 minutes daily to burn out
creosote deposits from within the stove and theventing system.

5. When reinstalling the door, use a new push nut
on the upper hinge pin.

2. After reloading with wood, burn the stove withthe primary air control fully open for 20 to 30
minutes. This manner of operation ensures early
engagement of the secondary combustion
system that minimizes creosote buildup in thechimney.

GASKETS
Replace door gasket material every two to threeseasons, depending on stove use. If the door seal
leaks, a new gasket will ensure a tight seal andimprove stove performance.

3. If a creosote build-up occurs, inspect thestovepipe connector and chimney more often, atleast monthly during the heating season tomonitor the accumulation. If a creosote residue
greater that 1/4" (6 mm) accumulates, remove it
to reduce the risk of a chimney fire.

We recommend you only use Hearthstone Hase
Collection replacement gaskets and adhesive when
you need to replace your door gasket. Contact yourdealer for a gasket kit that includes instructions,adhesive, and the gasket for your stove.

4. If your glass always remains dirty, youroperating temperatures are too low or your woodis wet; therefore, there is a higher risk ofcreosote buildup.

Required Door Gasket: Part Number: 3110200752, 79" (200cm) Length, 9/16" (14 mm)
Diameter.

5. Inspect the venting system at the stoveconnection and at the chimney top. Cooler
surfaces tend to build creosote deposits faster,
so it is important to check the chimney at the top(where it is coolest) as well as from the bottom
near the stove.

1. To replace the door gasket, remove the door
from the stove (see door removal instructions
above), and remove the door’s side plates. Pull
off the old rope gasket. Carefully remove any old
gasket material and adhesive with a small
screwdriver, or cold chisel and a hammer. Clean
all gasket channels with a small wire brush ifnecessary.

DOOR GASKET REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES:

6. Remove accumulated creosote with a cleaning
brush specifically designed for the type ofchimney in use. Use a certified chimney sweep
to perform this service. Contact your dealer forHearthstone Quality Home Heating Products, Inc ®

2. Vacuum the inside of the door as required.
Loosely re-attach the door’s side plates.

22

Bari Model 8170

3. Apply a 1/8-inch (3mm) bead of gasket adhesiveto the channels. Fold the provided gasket ropein half to find its center point. Start at the top or
bottom center of the door and push the newgasket into place uniformly without stretching orcompressing the gasket material. Pinch thegasket into place as necessary. Use masking
tape to hold the rope in the channel along the
top and bottom of the door.
4. Once the gasket is installed, tighten the door’s
sidepieces to clamp the gasket in place. The
sidepieces form one side of the gasket’schannel, and hold the gasket rope along thesides in place.
5. Re-install and close the door immediately to fullyseat the gasket in the channel and ensurecomplete adhesion. Check the gasket seal using
a dollar bill or aim a flashlight into the spacearound the door from the outside (then look inthrough the glass at the gasket – if you see light,
the seal will leak). The leak will most likely bewhere the gasket was not fully inserted into thechannel, or where stretched (thinner), or
adjacent to an area where the gasket wascompressed (thicker).
6. First, adjust the gasket as necessary byreseating it uniformly. If that does not work,
adjust the latch mechanism (see below and Fig.
14 and 15) so it applies more pressure when thedoor is closed. Keep the door closed and do notburn the stove for 24 hours while the adhesivecures.

Figure 14: Latch Assembly Detail

7. Remove the tape before burning the stove.
LATCH ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES:
1. Test gasket seal quality with small latch
adjustments first. The curved door geometry
means a little movement goes a long way. Toomuch pressure makes the door difficult to open
and close and prematurely wears the roller andthe gasket.
2. Loosen bolts, adjust jackscrews, or use acombination of both to shift the latch assembly
to apply more, or less closing pressure to thegasket (See Fig. 14).
3. If necessary, loosen the five bolts securing thedoor side plate containing the handle (mounting
holes are slotted). Make additional adjustments
by sliding the side plate in towards the stove(less pressure), or out away from the stove(more pressure) (See Fig. 15).

5. Carefully lift the damaged glass out of the door
and discard.

GLASS
Do not operate the stove with a broken door glass.
Do not abuse the front door by striking or slamming.

6. Remove any remaining glass and old gasket
material.

When necessary, clean the glass with commercial
stove glass cleaners, which are available from yourlocal dealer. Never attempt to clean the glass while
the fire is burning or while the glass is hot. Remove
deposits by following the instructions provided withthe cleaner. To clean heavier, stubborn deposits,
remove the door from the stove (See door removal
procedures on page 22). Lay the door face down on
a clean, padded workbench or table, use rolled up
old towels, or similar, to stabilize the curved door so
the heavy deposits are at the lowest point. Apply thecleaner to the glass and allow it to soak for a few
minutes. Reposition the door as necessary to allow
the cleaner to penetrate all the heavy deposits. Wipethe cleaner off with a soft cloth, or black & white
newsprint.

7. Clean the screw holes and place a small amountof anti-seize compound in each one.
8. Place the gasketed new glass onto the door.
9. Important! Center the glass and ensure thatthe edges of the curved glass are parallel withthe edges of the opening.
10. Reinstall the inner glass frame (limits pressure
on glass from the retainer).
11. Check glass position again (centered, andparallel), then screw the glass retainer back on
the door using a crisscross pattern. Tighten thescrews no more than 1/8th of a turn after theyseat. (The glass will break at this point if not
positioned correctly. If the glass shifts too muchto one side, you will see the gasket from theoutside)Important: scratching or etching the glass
will weaken the integrity of the glass. Do not
use a razor blade, steel wool, or any otherabrasive material to clean the glass. Use acleaner
specificallymanufactured
forwoodstoves only.

12. Apply a light film of anti-seize lubricant on the
door’s hinge pins and washer if needed.
13. Install the door.

The front door glass is a ceramic, shock-resistantglass, made specifically for use in woodstoves. Do
not use any replacement glass other than theceramic glass manufactured and supplied for use inthis woodstove. Replacement glass is available
through your local Hearthstone dealer.

14. After 5 or 6 fires, check the glass retainer
screws, and retighten if necessary.

Replace the door glass immediately if broken or
chipped. Contact your local dealer for replacement
glass. The glass kit includes instructions andeverything needed for the repair. If you replace theglass yourself, wear work gloves and safety glasses.

VERMICULITE PANEL REPLACEMENT:

STONE

1. Remove packing material from spaces along
front edges of the outer left and outer rightpanels.

The stone panels on this stove are large and heavy(150 pounds total). Use a second person to assist inmounting the panels to avoid injury, or damaging thepanels. Despite the mass of each piece ofsoapstone, they will break if dropped. See the Stone
Install Instructions included with the Stone Kit.

2. Remove the panel lock plate above the outerright panel.
3. Slide outer right panel slightly to the right, tilt top
into firebox, and remove the panel.

Occasional cleaning is all that is necessary tomaintain the natural beauty of your stove’s
soapstone finish. The soapstone pieces have asmooth, unpolished surface, and will absorb liquids
applied to them. Clean the soapstone only withwater, or any non-abrasive glass cleaner and a soft
cloth. Wipe dust from the stone with a clean cloth.
To avoid staining, do not use chemical agents towash the stone; do not use waxes or any polishing
agents on the stone.

4. Slide all other panels to the right, tilt, andremove.
5. To remove the upper panel, remove the screw
securing the air tube, slide the air tube to theleft, and remove it. Drop down the upper panel.
6. Install the side panels by placing each one into
the right most position and then slide it to theleft. All side panels are identical.

Take care not to scratch or chip the soapstone. Do
not set items that can scratch or chip the stone on
top of your stove. You can use 240 grit sandpaper toeasily repair, or blend in minor scratches

7. Replace the side panel lock plate.
8. Push side panels together tightly and center
them so the spaces along the front edges areequal, Insert packing to prevent panel
separation.

Often, with use and over time, subtle earth tones ofbrown, green, red, and yellow may appear in thesoapstone. This is a natural reaction in thesoapstone. Surface or hairline fractures may also
appear in the stone after a stove is used. Suchchanges are normal and do not affect the operationor the integrity of the stove and do not require

Troubleshooting
is exacerbated if exhaust fans, such as clothes
dryers, bathroom fans or cookstove exhaust fans, arein operation within the home. Outfitting your stovewith the optional outside air adaptor connected to an
air duct, which leads to the outside of the building,can correct this problem.

COMMON ISSUES
Virtually all woodstove operators experience basic
common problems at one time or another. Most are
correctable and generally require only a minor
adjustment of the stove, installation, or operating
technique. In cases where weather conditions
dramatically affect stove performance, the problems
are typically temporary and solve themselves once
the weather changes.

TALL TREES OR BUILDINGS: These obstructions,when located close to the top of the chimney cancause chronic or occasional downdrafts. Whenselecting a site for a new chimney, consider theplacement of other objects near the proposedchimney location.

If you question whether your stove is producing
adequate heat, the best way to troubleshoot the
problem is to monitor the temperature of the stack nomore than 12 inches (30 cm) above the flue collar. A
400° F (200° C) stovepipe confirms the stove is
supplying sufficient heat. Keep in mind that yourhouse itself will regulate room/house temperatures.
How well the walls, floors and ceilings are insulated,
the number and size of windows, the tightness ofoutside doors, and the construction or style of yourhouse (vaulted ceilings or other open spaces whichcollect large percentages of heat, ceiling fans, etc.)
all are determining factors of room temperature.

WIND VELOCITY: Generally, the stronger andsteadier a wind, the stronger (better) the draft.
However, "gusty" wind conditions can cause erratic
downdrafts. For consistent problems, consider a highwind cap, such as the Vacu-Stack.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE: Chimney drafts are
typically sluggish on balmy, wet or muggy days (lowbarometric pressure). This is a weather-related
phenomenon, which generally is self-correcting as
the weather changes.

Your stove's performance is also dependant on its
installation. One common cause of poor performanceis an oversized chimney flue. Oversized chimney
flues result in decreased draft, which prevents thesmoke from rising out the chimney. Oversized flues
are also more difficult to heat effectively, especiallywhen burning a high efficiency stove. Cool fluetemperatures inhibit the establishment of a strong
draft (and encourage the accumulation of creosote).
The lack of a strong draft will cause the fire to die
down and may even force smoke to pour into theroom.

BRISKNESS OF FIRE: The hotter the fire in yourstove, the hotter your chimney and, therefore, thestronger the draft.
BREAKS IN THE VENTING SYSTEM: An unsealed
clean-out door at the bottom of the chimney, leaky
stovepipe joints, a poor stovepipe-to-thimble
connection, missing caps, or a leaky chimney all cancause inadequate draft.
SEASONAL FACTORS: Early fall and late spring are
generally difficult seasons in which to establish
proper drafts. The colder the outside air is relative toroom temperature, the stronger the draft.

If your chimney is the proper size and a strong draft
is not easily established, there is the possibility thatthe chimney is too cold. Again, hot chimneys promotestronger drafts. Opening a window briefly whilelighting the stove may help.

OPERATING THE STOVE
As outlined above, there are days when a good draft
is just not easy to establish. The causes are usuallyseasonal factors or a cold chimney. Try starting thefire by using small kindling and fuel to obtain a quick,hot fire. Tend the fire frequently with small fuel until
the chimney is hot and the draft is well established.
Sometimes, partially opening a first floor window
briefly will help quickly get draft established.

Other draft guidelines are as follows:
An "AIRTIGHT" HOUSE: The air supply (infiltration)
to the interior of the house may be inadequate if yourhome is super-insulated or especially well sealed.
