Metro Pedestal Fires
To minimise freight damage, the pedestal base has been
packaged inside the firebox. Please note: you should only
assemble this wood fire if you are suitably experienced in
wood fire assembly and installation.
To safely assemble your Metro, please proceed as follows: -
- Safely remove straps by cutting straps with scissors.
- Lift off carton, turn upside down (use to hold all discarded
packaging).
- Lift off the top grille and place somewhere safe. Be careful
not to chip the enamel coating.
- Open the door 90 degrees and lift the door off the hinge
and place somewhere safe. Be careful not to chip the
enamel coating.
- Remove the pedestal packed in a cardboard wrap
- Remove the pedestal mount plate
- Remove pedestal heat shield (Xtreme & Euro models only)
- Remove the side bricks, door handle and the bolt bag
- Remove the 2 tek screws at the base of the inside of the
firebox that are fixing the wood fire to the pallet.
- It is recommended that 2 people work together with
this step. Grab the underneath top of the firebox door
opening with one hand, holding the flue spigot with the
other, slowly lift the front of the wood fire all the way back
and rest the wood fire on it’s rear heat shield on the floor.
Remove the packaging pallet.
- Xtreme & Euro models only – Fit the pedestal heat shield
over the 4 bolts as shown in Diagram 1, with the open
edge facing the front of the Metro (up)
- Position the pedestal with its front facing over the 4 bolts
and fit the washers and nuts supplied, check to ensure the
pedestal is correctly aligned and securely tighten the nuts
- It is recommended that 2 people work together with this
step. Grab the flue spigot with one hand and the other
hand underneath the top of the firebox door opening, lift
upwards standing the wood fire onto it’s pedestal.
- Re-fit the door and top grille
- Open the door fully and fit the side bricks to each side of
the fire box. Location lugs are fitted to the base and rear
of the firebox to retain the side bricks in position. Refer to
Diagram 2.
Note: The ECO Tiny Ped model utilises a slightly different pedestal to that
detailed in Diagram 1. The rear panel on the pedestal must be turned
around with the return fold facing back the opposite way.
All Metro 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) or return front steel edge of the baffle
facing forward as illustrated in Diagram 2.
