Metro LTD Pedestal Fires

To minimise freight damage, the pedestal has not been 
attached but is packaged inside the firebox. Some assembly 
is required as illustrated in Diagram 1 (right). Open the door of 
the Metro and remove the following: 

-    The pedestal packed in a cardboard tray

-     The pedestal mounting plate

-     The pedestal heat shield 

(X-treme, Euro and Mega models only)

-     Two side bricks in a cardboard wrapper

-     Door handle and bolt bag.

•  Remove the two securing bolts from the base of the 

firebox which secure the Metro to the wooden pallet, 
close and latch the door.

•  Remove the “cook top” grill and lay the collapsed Metro 

carton on the floor behind the Metro. Place one hand into 
and securely grip the flue outlet, place your other hand 
under the front of the pallet base and gently tip the Metro 
backwards until it is resting on its back.

•  Fully open the Metro’s door, taking care that the door 

does not fall closed. Take the four 6mm bolts from the bolt 
bag and insert them through holes provided in the firebox 
base.

 

Metro Xtreme, Euro and Mega models only: Fit the 
pedestal heat shield over the four bolts as shown in 
Diagram 1, with the open edge facing the front of the 
Metro (up).

•  Position the pedestal with its front facing up over the 

four bolts and fit the nuts and washers supplied. Check 
to ensure the pedestal is correctly aligned and securely 
tighten the nuts.

•  Close and latch the door. Gripping the flue outlet once 

more, gently raise the Metro until it is upright. Refit the 
“cook top” grill and attach the door handle to the door 
latch assembly by screwing it on clockwise.

•  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.

All Metro LTD Models

Check to ensure the top baffle is in its correct position in 
the top chamber of the firebox. It should be resting on four 
support lugs (two on each side of the firebox). The baffle 
must be hard back against the rear of the firebox with the 
“promet extension” (white board) facing forward as illustrated 
in Diagram 2.

Note: Mega Ped/Mega Rad have a two-piece top baffle and a third 
firebrick which is fitted to the rear wall of the firebox.
