Metro LTD Radiant Fires
These Metro’s are supplied virtually fully assembled. Packed
inside the firebox you will find two bricks in a cardboard
wrapper, a door handle, and the air control wire handle.
• Remove the two securing bolts located at the base of
each rear leg which secure the Metro to the wooden
pallet, and carefully “walk” the Metro off the pallet.
• Open the door fully and fit the side bricks to each side of
the firebox. Location lugs are fitted to the base and rear
of the firebox to retain the side bricks in position. Refer to
Diagram 2.
• Attach the door handle to the door latch assembly by
screwing it on clockwise.
• Attach the air control wire handle by screwing it on
clockwise.
This Metro wood fire has been tested to either AS 2918:1990,
NZS7421:1990 or AS/NZS2918:2001. All Metro wood fires
comply with AS/NZS2918:2001 when installed in accordance
with this manual. Please ensure you are fully conversant with
the relevant standard and the contents of this manual. Correct
installation is critical to the safe operation and performance of
this wood fire.
Please take particular note of the following:
• It is recommended that Metro’s be installed with a Metro
ECO flue system which has been developed to enhance
the performance of Metro wood fires. Any alternative
flue system must have a minimum flue pipe length of 4.2
metres of 150mm diameter flue pipe.
• The 150mm active flue pipe must be fully encased from
the ceiling to the underside of the flashing cone at the top
of the flue system, (i.e. there must not be any 150mm flue
pipe exposed).
• All flue pipe joints must be sealed and riveted. The bottom
of the flue pipe in particular MUST be fully sealed into the
flue outlet of the Metro wood fire.
• In New Zealand, the Metro must be bolted through the
floor protector into the floor to comply with the seismic
restraint provisions of AS/NZS2918:2001
• All Metro’s are extremely heavy, varying in weight from
85kgs up to 150kgs. During the installation process do
not lift the appliance by yourself, and take care not to
damage the panel coating.
