Assembling your Metro wood re
This Metro wood re 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 re.
Please take particular note of the following:
• It is recommended that Metro’s be installed with a Metro
ECO ue system which has been developed to enhance
the performance of Metro wood res. Any alternative ue
system must have a minimum ue pipe length of 4.2 metres
of 150mm diameter ue pipe.
• The 150mm active ue pipe must be fully encased from the
ceiling to the underside of the ashing cone at the top of
the ue system, (i.e. there must not be any 150mm ue pipe
exposed).
• All ue pipe joints must be sealed and riveted. The bottom
of the ue pipe in particular MUST be fully sealed into the
ue outlet of the Metro wood re.
• In New Zealand, the Metro must be bolted through the oor
protector into the oor 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 panel coating.
• Please take care when lifting the Metro into place onto the
hearth or oor protector as point loading may break tiles
and/or scratch surfaces.
All Metro wood res are packed in a single heavy-duty carton,
and tek screwed to a wooden pallet. Having removed the
packaging and located this manual, familiarise yourself with the
illustrations on pages 2 & 3, and proceed as detailed below.
Please note: you should only assemble this wood fire if you are suitably
experienced in wood fire assembly and installation.
Note: The Metro carton shows the model Metro you are about to install,
enabling you to select the appropriate model’s assembly instructions.

These Metro’s are supplied virtually fully assembled. Packed inside
the rebox you will nd bricks in a cardboard wrapper, a wire door

• Remove the two tek screws located at the base of each rear
leg which secure the Metro to the wooden pallet, and carefully
“walk” the Metro off the pallet.

rebox. Location lugs are tted to the base and rear of the
rebox to retain the side bricks in position. Refer to Diagram 2.
