Flue systems
Should be checked annually, particularly the bottom end
of the lower fl ue section at its rear lock formed joint. If
deterioration is noticed contact your Metro retailer or installer.
The fl ue pipe should also be swept a minimum of once a year,
or as required during the winter season. If smoke enters the
room when you open the Metro’s door this usually indicates
the fl ue pipe is becoming restricted and needs cleaning. The
frequency of fl ue pipe cleans depends on many factors, with
the main variables being:
• The seasoning of the wood. If not properly seasoned you
will require frequent fl ue pipe cleans.
• The density of the wood. Softwoods generally result in more
deposits building up in the fl ue pipe.
To clean the fl ue pipe of your Metro, proceed as follows:-
• Open the Metro’s door fully, reach inside with the palm
of your hand face-up and extended, lift the top baffl e
approximately 20mm, then lift it forward out through the
door opening, placing it on a sheet of newspaper you
have placed on the front of the fl oor protector.
Note: Some appliances have a two piece top baffl e.
• Close the door and slide the air control to the left.
• Once on the roof, remove the cowl from the top of fl ue
system and sweep the fl ue pipe using a 150mm-diameter
fl ue pipe brush as detailed in the instructions provided with
the fl uebrush.
• Once the fl ue pipe is clear, clean and refi t the cowl.
Remove the excess soot which has fallen into the fi rebox,
leaving a layer of ash 10mm deep on the base of the
fi rebox, then refi t the top baffl e.
Note: The baffl e must be fi tted so its rear is touching the back of the
fi rebox; if uncertain refer to previous page 9 in the installation section of
this manual, which shows illustrations of the baffl e location.
Cleaning and maintenance for your Metro wood fi re
Parts guide for your Metro – Baffl e, promet and wetback
Listed below are the parts and product codes for your Metro
wood fi re. The promet/baffl e should be regularly checked and
must always be in place during the operation of your fi re.
Note: Cracks in the promet are not uncommon and have no adverse
effect on the operation of your Metro. These cracks are the result of
intense heat coupled with expansion and contraction and is normal
wear & tear.
Your Metro wood fi re must be regularly maintained and we
recommended it is also serviced annually. If a wood fi re is
not regularly maintained and serviced, the life span will be
reduced. If your Metro wood fi re has been neglected, by not
being regularly maintained and serviced, with authorised Metro
parts replaced as required, your warranty may be declined.
