Notes on Stove Operation and Efficiency
Rating:
You have purchased a Hearthstone Bari 8171 tested to EPA Method 28, 28A and 5H, 40 CFR Part 60 where applicable.
This stove is certified to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 2020 particulate emissions standard.
It is certified at .94 gr/hr. emission rate and under specific test conditions has been shown to deliver heat at rates ranging
from 14,065 to 26,036 Btu (output).
This wood heater has a manufacturer-set minimum allowable low burn rate that must not be altered. It is against federal
regulations to alter this setting or otherwise operate this wood heater in a manner inconsistent with operating instructions in
this manual.
Please refer to the Warranty section of this manual for registration instructions. In case of warranty claims, please contact
the point of original sale or the nearest authorized Hearthstone dealer. All warranty claims are processed by our dealer
network. Authorized Hearthstone dealers can be located at www.hearthstonestoves.com.
This heater is designed to burn natural wood only. Higher efficiencies and lower emissions generally result when burning air
dried seasoned hardwoods, as compared to softwoods or to green or freshly cut hardwoods. DO NOT BURN: Garbage,
lawn clippings, material containing rubber (including tires), materials containing plastic, waste petroleum products paints or
paint thinners, asphalt products, materials containing asbestos, construction or demolition debris, railroad ties, pressure
treated wood, manure or animal remains, salt water driftwood or other previously salt water saturated materials, unseasoned
wood, paper products, cardboard, plywood or particleboard. This prohibition against burning these materials does not
prohibit the use of fire starters made from paper, cardboard, saw dust, wax and similar substances for the purpose of starting
a fire in an affected wood heater. Burning these materials mat result in a release toxic fumes or render the heater ineffective,
cause smoke and damage the catalysts.
Following the maintenance guidelines set forth in this manual will help ensure the efficient use of your wood heater and
minimize visible emissions. Having you stove inspected by a trained professional on a regular basis will greatly increase the
potential for recognizing potential impacts to efficiency.
Proper draft is important to the efficient operation of your heater. Refer to the Normal Operation section of this manual for
information regarding adequate draft. Both excessive and sub-minimum draft can affect the efficiency of your wood heater.
Excessive draft can lead to over-consumption of fuel, lower overall heating capacity of the stove and potential over firing.
Low draft can result in inefficient burns, low heat output, expulsion of smoke into the living area when stove doors are opened
and an increased potential for build-up of flammable materials in the flue.
Efficiency:
Efficiency was captured using EPA Method 28R and weighted using CSA B415-10 methodology. A weighted average was
used to calculate the overall efficiency across all of the 4 burn rate categories using the higher heating value (HHV). The
weighted average efficiency is 75.9% (HHV).
To maximize the efficiency of your wood stove make sure it is sized properly for the space you plan to heat. An oversized
stove will often be forced to burn at a lower and dirtier burn rate. Consult with your dealer for sizing and correctly placing the
stove in your home. An incorrectly placed stove can greatly reduce efficiency. Maximizing the efficiency of your stove will
heat your house quickly, burn cleaner and use less wood.
Refer to the Choosing Firewood section of this manual for appropriate fuel selection. Seasoned firewood is typically at or
near 20% moisture content. This can be measured with any number of hand-held moisture meters available through your
local hearth shop. Follow instructions included in the meter you purchase to measure fuel wood moisture content. Burn only
dry, seasoned wood as using wet wood will greatly reduce your efficiency.
CO Emissions:
The Bari 8171 has the following CO emission rates by burn level: Category 1 (Low) – 3.0 gr./hr., Category 2 (Medium Low) –
3.6 gr./hr., Category 3 (Medium High) – 3.6 gr./hr. and Category 4 (High) – 6.0 gr./hr.. Wet wood or unapproved fuel
described above can greatly affect the emissions of a wood burning stove.
Smoke/Fire/CO Detectors:
It is highly recommended that smoke and CO detectors be installed throughout the heated space when a wood burning
heater is installed. Be certain to install these devices not only in the area where the wood appliance is located, but also in
bedrooms, hallways leading to other areas of the house and all common areas of the heated space. Check the batteries in
these devices and assure operation by performing whatever test operations are recommended by the manufacturer.

Introducing Your Bari Wood Stove
Thank you for purchasing a HASE Collection Bari
woodstove from Hearthstone Quality Home Heating
Products. This stove will provide years of comfortable
heat. This stove also provides the benefits of
advanced technology in wood burning without the
cost and maintenance requirements of a catalytic
device. The Bari blends modern technology with the
unique beauty and qualities of steel and soapstone.
We trust that you will appreciate the quality of this
handcrafted product.
Your Bari woodstove is designed to burn efficiently,
and produce a large amount of heat. However, you
should not consider your Bari the primary heat source
for your home. The Bari’s unique ability to rotate 180
degrees and the very large curved glass window
allow you to enjoy the fire from a variety of locations
in the room.
Please read this manual in its entirety. Its purpose is
to familiarize you with your stove's safe installation,
proper break-in, operation and maintenance. It
contains extremely important information so keep it
handy and refer to it often.
A qualified heating technician may need this owner’s
manual as a reference when installing this stove in
your home. There are national, state, and local
building codes that direct the technician on how to
install your stove. These codes stipulate the
dimension of stovepipe and clearances to walls,
ceilings, hearth, and other combustible surfaces. The
codes exist to reduce the risk of fire. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire, property damage,
bodily injury, and even death.
Install the stove in a safe, open area, away from traffic
flow, doors, and hallways. If possible, try to install the
stove near an existing chimney and chimney
connector. It is extremely important to install this
stove with the proper clearance from combustible
surfaces. You can purchase specific connector pipe
and special wall coverings as specified by this manual
and the NFPA 211 code to protect combustible
surfaces. Keep furniture, drapes, curtains, wood,
paper, and other combustibles at least 36 inches (92
cm) away from the stove. Never install the stove in a
location where gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid or other flammable liquids are used or stored.
Install the stove in your living area to allow heat to
radiate naturally to distant rooms. Do not install your
stove in a poorly insulated area. This is inefficient and
would likely result in higher fuel usage and possibly
unsafe burning conditions.
SAFETY NOTICE: AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED
STOVE CAN RESULT IN A HOUSE FIRE. FOR
YOUR SAFETY, CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE
INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS. CONTACT LOCAL
BUILDING OR FIRE OFFICIALS ABOUT
RESTRICTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSPECTION
IN YOUR AREA.
The safety of your stove will depend on many factors,
some of which include: distance to combustible
objects, correct venting, and adequate chimney
maintenance. Should you have any questions, do not
hesitate to contact your dealer for additional
information.
Contact your dealer for any necessary warranty
service.

•Use caution when loading firewood into a hot
stove.
•Keep the front door closed and secured at all
times except when loading wood.
•Keep the ash pan tray fully inserted and the
handle tightly latched.
•Inspect the stovepipe, chimney connector and
chimney, as recommended.
Follow these safety precautions:
•Never modify this stove in any way.
•Never burn kiln dried, painted or treated wood in
this stove.
•Never burn garbage or trash, colored or glossy
paper, solvents, plywood, artificial logs,
cardboard, or driftwood, in this stove.
•Never burn coal in this stove.
•Never use gasoline, kerosene, charcoal lighter
fluid, or other flammable fluids to start or
invigorate the fire. These fuels will cause
dangerous burning conditions in the stove. Keep
all such materials away from the stove.
•Never use the stove if the ash pan is open,
damaged, not present, or does not fully seal. The
ash pan cover must be present under the pan to
ensure the pan seals properly.
•Never use a wood grate or other device to
elevate the fire.
•Never allow logs in the firebox to contact with the
glass when the door is closed.
•Never slam the door or use the door to force
wood in to the stove.
•Never over-fire your stove. (See page 36)
•Never put articles of clothing or candles on a hot

1. This solid-fuel-fired appliance does not draw
steadily, smoke rollout occurs, fuel burns
poorly, or back-drafts occur whether or not
there is combustion present.
2. Existing fuel-fired equipment in the house,
such as fireplaces or other heating
appliances, smell, do not operate properly,
suffer smoke roll-out when opened, or back-
draft whether or not there is combustion
present.
3. Opening a window slightly on a calm
(windless) day alleviates any of the above
symptoms.
4. The house is equipped with a well-sealed
vapor barrier and tight fitting windows and/or
has any powered devices that exhaust house
air.
5. There is excessive condensation on windows
in the winter.
6. A ventilation system is installed in the house.
If these or other indications suggest that infiltration air
is inadequate, additional combustion air should be
provided from the outdoors. Outside combustion air
can be provided to the appliance by using the optional
outside air kit #91-53500 / #91-53700.
PERIODIC CHECKLIST
Perform each of these tasks at least at the specified
intervals.
At the End of Every Week:
•Empty ashes from the firebox and ash pan,
sooner if the firebox or the ash pan is full.
At the Beginning of Every Other Month:
•Depending upon your use of the stove, visually
inspect the chimney connector and chimney for
creosote. (Please see page 37)
•Check door seals using the "dollar bill test." -
When the stove is cool, shut the door on a dollar
bill. If the bill pulls out without any resistance,
then your stove’s door is not sealing properly. To
tighten the seal, adjust the door latch
mechanism or change the door gasket. (Refer to
page 37.)
At the End of Every Season:
•Dismantle the chimney connector and clean it
thoroughly. Replace any pieces that show signs
of rust or deterioration.
•Inspect and, if necessary, clean your chimney.
•Thoroughly clean out the inside of the stove.
•Inspect all door gasket material and replace if
worn, frayed, cracked or extremely hard.
•Inspect and replace cracked or damaged
vermiculite panels.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
If you have a stovepipe or chimney fire, follow
these instructions:
1. If the fire is too threatening, leave the area and
call the fire department immediately! If not,
perform the next three steps.
2. Close the primary air control.
3. Close the stovepipe damper (if present).
4. Keep the stove front door and ash pan closed!
•WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUT OUT A
STOVEPIPE OR CHIMNEY FIRE BY THROWING
WATER ONTO THE STOVE, STOVEPIPE, OR
CHIMNEY. THE EXTREMELY HIGH
TEMPERATURE OF SUCH FIRES CAN CAUSE
INSTANTANEOUS STEAM AND SERIOUS BODILY
HARM.
Once the chimney fire expires, leave the primary air
control closed and let the fire in the stove die out
completely. Inspect the stove, stovepipe, and

Installing Your Bari Wood Stove
UNPACKING
Hearthstone packages your Bari stove with the
greatest care so that it ships safely. Under certain
circumstances, however, damage may occur during
transit and handling. When you receive the Bari,
carefully unpack and inspect the stove and all
accompanying parts. Make sure that all parts are
included in the box. If any parts are damaged or
missing, please contact your dealer immediately.
The stone panels on this stove are large and heavy
(150 pounds total). Use a second person to assist in
handling the panels to avoid injury, or damaging the
panels. Despite the mass of each piece of soapstone,
they will break if dropped.
If you purchased a stove with ceramic panels, they
have been shipped in separate boxes and will need
to be installed. You will need to carefully remove all
plastic wrapping and cardboard shipping materials
before lighting the unit for the first time.
INSTALLING YOUR STOVE
Choose a place to install your Bari woodstove.
Inspect this location to make sure that the stove and
stovepipes will have the required clearance from
combustible materials that are near the stove.
Combustibles include walls, floor, ceiling, and
chimney chase. You must carefully consider the
clearances to all of these combustibles before
actually connecting your stove.
If the floor is made of combustible material, then a
non-combustible floor protector is required between
the floor and the stove. An example of a non-
combustible floor protector is a hearth constructed
with a continuous layer of a listed backer board (such
as Micore, Wonder-Board or Durock) used for ember
protection with a tile, brick, slate, or another non-
combustible facing.
If you use a close clearance connector pipe, ensure it
is listed with Underwriter’s Laboratories. Check the
listing of your pipe with UL for the correct clearances.
The diagrams in this manual represent typical
installations, but are specific to the Simpson Dura-
Vent DVL brand.
CLEARANCES TO NFPA CODE 211 PROTECTED
SURFACES
You can reduce the clearances to combustible
surfaces by using any National Fire Protection
Agency (NFPA) approved wall protection system.
Please refer to NFPA Code 211 for specifications and
complete details. You can obtain this information
directly from the NFPA.

HEARTH REQUIREMENTS AND FLOOR PROTECTION
Ensure you protect combustible flooring with a covering of a noncombustible material. The floor protection must
extend beyond the body of the stove at the minimum as follows:
In Figure 1 you will find two hearth options; one hearth for the freely rotating stove and the other for the locked
stove.
* Installations in Canada require 18” (45.72 cm) of floor protection on both side and front.
** Rear clearance required only if stovepipe runs horizontally back above the top of the stove.
Figure 1
Note: Dimensions shown in previous figures are from the body of the stove.
The Bari wood stove has a unique feature that allows it to rotate. This rotation allows positioning the body of the
stove into 13 different positions, up to a full 90 degrees to either side. In order to install the Bari onto the smaller
hearth protector shown in Figure 1, you must lock the stove in place. To do this, follow the instructions below:
