SAFETY FIRST
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them could cause a malfunction of the pellet fire,
damage to the pellet fire or property damage.
2. Familiarize yourself with the pellet fire’s operation. (See “Operation” section) If you are not sure, ask your
dealer for an explanation on your pellet fire’s proper operation.
3. The burn pot of this pellet fire is designed for premium grade wood pellets. Refer to the “Fuel
Requirements” section for more information.
4. Oiling the circulation fan motor bearings should be done every 12 months. See “Maintenance” section for
more details.
5. Check your local building codes regarding restrictions or installation requirements. All installations must
comply with local building codes.
6. Combustion of wood pellet fuel leaves ash in the pellet fire and venting system. These ashes must be
removed from the pellet fire regularly. See “Maintenance” section for more information.
7. This pellet fire is POWER VENTED. The vent pipes are under positive pressure during operation. It is
IMPERATIVE that all joints in the venting system be SEALED to prevent any leakage of exhaust gases inside
the house. All joints must be sealed using high temperature silicone sealer (RTV). Aluminum tape is NOT
an adequate sealant.
8. Use of outside combustion air is highly recommended and is mandatory in mobile home installations.
9. This appliance is wired and grounded according to the electrical code AS/NZS/EN 60335.2.30 for New
Zealand.
10. Make sure the door and any other opening in the pellet fire are closed tightly during operation. Inspect the
gaskets of the door and other openings periodically to make sure they are in good condition.
11. Replace broken or defective components only with parts provided by the manufacturer. Contact your local
dealer to find out how to purchase replacement parts.
12. Follow this manual carefully for proper installation. If you are uncertain, call your dealer. Most dealers have
qualified and trained installers. We highly recommend the use of their services.
13. During the very first fire your Metro will give off an odour and fumes as the firebox paint cures. Do not be
alarmed; open all windows and externally opening doors in that room and close any internally opening
doors. This curing process will last for approximately one hour and will only happen this one time.
