PAGE 4
The ECO Xtreme Ped, ECO Euro Ped, ECO Wee Curve and
ECO Euro Rad models have the option to be installed as
“Direct Vent” appliances, thereby drawing all primary and
secondary combustion air from outside the home. Once
connected, this direct venting option ensures the air that
is heated within the home, stays in the home improving
efficiency and reducing fuel usage.
Note: Connection of the Metro’s direct vent inlet to outside the home
is optional. If not connected these Direct Vent models still offer greatly
improved performance and lower emissions due to the unique pre-heated
air path for all primary and secondary combustion air that these models
consume.
Direct Vent Options
Three “Direct Vent kits” are available to connect the ECO DV
Metro to an air supply from outside the living environment of
the home. The kits available include;
• DV WALL kIT – For installations when the Metro is
installed against an outside wall.
• DV FLOOR kIT– For installations onto a floor which has a
free air supply below it.
• DV CEILING kIT– For installations when the Metro is
installed against an internal wall and on a concrete floor
(DV Ceiling kit goes into the wall cavity, then up inside the wall into the
ceiling cavity, where the air supply is drawn from)
Installing the Direct Vent Option
Remove the rear heatshield from the Metro wood fire by
unscrewing the four self tapping screws illustrated in Diagram
3 and proceed as follows;
1. Remove the section of panel illustrated with a “hatch”,
from the mid/bottom section of the rear heatshield. This
section to be removed has been pre-punched and only
requires a few small tabs to be cut.
2. Take the “inlet spigot” supplied in the “Direct Vent kit” and
slide it fully down into position into the brackets provided
on the rear of the firebox.
3. Replace the Metro’s rear heatshield with the four screws
previously removed.
The Metro wood fire is now ready for installation once you
have pre-fitted the Direct Vent kit into the wall or floor. Full
instructions for this procedure are supplied with the Direct
Vent kits.
