Metro wood fires are manufactured in New Zealand, using 
the highest quality of materials, workmanship and the latest 
manufacturing techniques, which is why we offer a full 10 year 
firebox warranty and 1 year parts warranty for peace of mind. 

METRO WARRANTY 

(NZ Consumer laws apply to this warranty)

Pioneer Manufacturing Limited (Pioneer) warrants the steel 
firebox against defective materials and workmanship which 
would render it unfit for normal domestic use, from the date of 
purchase by the original consumer, for a period of 10 years. 

Components including panel coating, door retainers, door 
seals, glass, trim, baffle & bricks are warranted for a period of 
1 year from the date of original purchase for normal domestic 
use against defective materials and workmanship. 

All associated accessories including, but not limited to, fans, 
flue systems, flue shields, wetbacks, tool sets, ash pots etc, are 
covered by a 1 year warranty against defective materials and 
workmanship.

It is recommended, but not a condition of this warranty, that a 
full service/inspection of the Metro wood fire be carried out at 
the end of each winter season.

Warranty Conditions:

•   The Metro wood fire must be installed, operated and 

maintained strictly in accordance with the building code 
and this installation and operation manual.

•  The Metro wood fire must be installed and used in a 

domestic application.

•   This warranty covers appliance like for like replacement or 

repair at the manufacturer’s discretion but excludes freight, 
travel, installation, labour and/or any other associated costs.

•   Pioneer or their agents are not liable for any loss or expense 

direct or indirect arising from the failure of any part or 
operation of the appliance.

•   Operation of this appliance in violation of the warnings in this 

operation and installation manual will void this warranty. 

•   Your Metro wood fire must be regularly maintained and we 

recommended it is also serviced annually. Proof of servicing 
may be required. If a wood fire is not regularly maintained 
and serviced, the life span will be reduced. If your Metro 
wood fire has been neglected, by not being regularly 
maintained and serviced, warranty may be declined.

•    It is critical that the fire not be operated with over worn, faulty 

or missing door seals. Door seals will harden over time and 
become over-worn (3-4 year’s) this will cause air to leak into 
the fire, causing the appliance to ‘over fire’.

•  It is critical that the fire not be operated with over worn, 

faulty or missing bricks, baffle plate or baffle extension (white 
board on or under the baffle plate)

•  It is critical that the fire not be operated with cracked, or 

broken door glass.

•   A claim under this warranty should be directed to the retailer 

who supplied the Metro wood fire. If this is not possible write 
directly to the manufacturer stating details of fault, model 
and serial number of your Metro, date and proof of purchase 
and name of retailer where the Metro was purchased.

Warranty Exclusions: 

This manufacturer’s warranty does not cover:

•  Service calls which are not related to any defect in the 

product (i.e. operational, installation or fuel issues). The 
cost of a service call will be charged if the problem is not 
found to be a product fault.

•   Defects caused by factors other than normal domestic use 

or use in accordance with the product’s operation manual. 

•   Defects caused through the product being operated in 

an “over-fired” manner resulting in sections of the firebox 
operating excessively hot to the point that sections glow 
red. (Note – This will result in distortion of the firebox)

•   Defects to the product caused by accident, neglect, misuse 

or act of God.

•   The cost of repairs carried out by non-authorised repairers 

or the cost of correcting such unauthorised repairs. 

•   Required maintenance as set out in this manual. 

Service under this manufacturer’s warranty must be provided 
by a repairer authorised by Pioneer Manufacturing Ltd. Such 
service shall be provided during normal business hours.
