This Metro wood fire has been tested to and complies with
AS/NZS2918:2001 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:
• It is recommended that Metro’s be installed with a Metro
ECO flue system which has been developed to enhance
the performance of Metro wood fires. Any alternative flue
system must have a minimum flue pipe length of 4.2 metres
of 150mm diameter flue pipe & have been tested to
AS/NZS2918:2001.
• The 150mm active flue pipe must be fully encased from the
ceiling to the underside of the flashing cone at the top of
the flue system, (i.e. there must not be any 150mm flue pipe
exposed).
• All flue pipe joints must be sealed and riveted. The bottom of
the flue pipe in particular MUST be fully sealed into the flue
outlet of the Metro wood fire.
• In New Zealand, the Metro must be bolted through the floor
protector into the floor to comply with the seismic restraint
provisions of AS/NZS2918:2001
• All Metro’s are extremely heavy, varying in weight from 85kgs
up to 150kgs. During the installation process do not lift the
appliance by yourself, and take care not to damage the
