Please note: You should only assemble this wood fire if you are suitably
experienced in wood fire assembly and installation.
Metro pedestal and base model fires
To eliminate freight damage, the pedestal base has been packaged inside
the firebox. To safely assemble your Metro, please proceed as follows:
- Lift off the top grill (convection models only) and place somewhere
safe. Be careful not to chip the enamel coating or damage paint
- Open the door 45 degrees and lift the door off the hinge and place
somewhere safe. Be careful not to damage the finish
- Remove the pedestal packed in a cardboard wrap
- Remove, rotate and re-fix the mount plate to the pedestal.
Note: The pedestal mount plate is fixed to the back of the pedestal
base with 4x screws. This mounting plate must be removed, rotated
and re-fixed to the pedestal as detailed on page 4 in diagrams 3 and
3A. The return fold must face back the opposite way to create the
mount plate and fixing points for seismic restraint of the wood fire.
- Remove the pedestal heat shield
Note: For some models the pedestal heat shield may be taped to the
rear heat shield. The ECO Tiny Ped’s pedestal heat shield is pre-fitted.
- 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 fix
the wood fire to the pallet.
It is recommended that 2 people work together with the next 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 its rear heat shield on
the floor. Remove the packaging pallet.
- 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 the next 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
its pedestal
- Fit the side bricks to each side of the fire box. Location lugs are fitted to
the base and rear wall of the firebox to retain the side bricks in position.
Refer to Diagram 2. (Classic Rad also features two side rear bricks).
- Re-fit the door and top grill (Convection models only)
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.
Note: Some models feature a two-piece top baffle.
