Installing Your Bari Wood Stove
U
NPACKING
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.

S
TOVE
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.
