Important Information
Pre-installation - Firebox cavity
Metro Insert fires are tested to comply with AS/NZS 2918 incorporating
Appendix ‘E’ when installed in accordance with this manual. Please ensure
you are fully conversant with this 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:
• This Ultra Insert MUST only be installed with the Metro Ultra Insert flue kit
• All flue joints must be sealed and riveted in three points with stainless
steel or monel rivets; the bottom of the flue in particular MUST be fully
sealed into the flue outlet of the Metro wood fire and secured with the
bolt & nut as supplied in the component kit
• The 150mm flue pipe must be fully encased to the underneath of the
flashing cone, from above the chimney breast. (there must not be any
150mm flue pipe exposed)
• A rear cavity vent is required. Please see detail in Diagram 1 opposite
with full cavity vent requirements and installation detailed on page 8 of
this manual
• In New Zealand, the Metro Ultra Insert must be bolted securely to the
base of the chimney cavity to comply with the seismic restraint provisions
of AS/NZS2918
• The Ultra Insert fascia is coated in metallic black high temperature paint
finish. Take care during assembly and when lifting and fitting the fascia
that you do not damage the coating. Any surface damage to the paint
finish fascia can be repaired with the use of Pioneer metallic black high
temperature paint
• DO NOT lift the Ultra Insert fascia with your fingers under the louvre’s
Your Ultra Insert is packaged in two heavy-duty cartons. The Insert firebox
is in a palletised carton, while the fascia and door are packaged together in
a separate clearly labelled carton.
Electrical
A 230v fan is assembled with the firebox and requires a registered
electrician to wire into a 230/240VAC – 50/60Hz power supply.
The fan is controlled automatically by a thermostat, delivering low air
volume very quietly, usually within 10-20 minutes of lighting the fire.
Pre installation - Firebox cavity
Prior to installing your Metro insert firebox into a fireplace cavity, it is
important that specified clearances and other requirements are complied
with as follows:
• The chimney must be swept and checked for cracks and general
overall condition. If repairs are necessary, they must be carried out by
a suitably qualified person
• Adjust cavity to minimum dimensions as illustrated in Diagram 1 on
page 3. It is usually necessary to remove fire bricks from the lower
fireplace cavity
• The base of the fireplace cavity on which the Metro Ultra Insert will rest
must be level. If it is not, it should be levelled using mortar
• A rear minimum open vent area of 14,400mm
2
within a maximum
height of 230mm must be cut through the chimney. Please see detail
in Diagram 1 opposite with full cavity vent requirements and installation
detailed on page 8 of this manual
• If a timber or combustible mantelshelf exists above the fireplace
opening, it should be a minimum distance above the top of the Ultra
Insert fascia. If less than the minimum specified, a deflector or heat
shield will be required to be fitted under the mantelshelf or to the top of
the fascia using the relevant detail as set out in AS/NZS 2918. Mantle
clearances are detailed on page 9.
