1. Introduction
The appliance is available in two models, the Metro 130 and the Metro 130 Tunnel.
This version of the Metro 130 and the Metro 130 tunnel is suitable for use with propane. The safe operation of the
appliances is guaranteed by the use of a second thermocouple fitted to the main burner.
The Metro 130 is a ‘standard’ gas fire and should always be installed against a wall. The Metro 199 Tunnel is just that,
a ‘tunnel fire’ with both a front and back window.
The Metro 130 and the Metro 130 Tunnel are closed decorative fires. A closed tunnel draws its combustion air from
outside and not from the living area. This is done by way of a combined system that discharges the flue gases and sup-
plies the combustion air. In this concentric system the outer pipe serves as air supply and the inner pipe as the flue.
This system can be installed through either the outer wall or the roof.
The appliances are built into a chimney breast. The DRU product range includes several chimney breasts.
The chimney breast must be well ventilated to ensure a good heat distribution. DRU can supply various ventilation
elements.
The appliances are supplied with a wireless, battery-operated remote control.

6.5. Flue gas discharge / combustion air supply system
6.5.1 General
The appliance is of the C11/C31 type.
The appliance is connected to a combined flue gas discharge/combustion air supply system, hereafter referred to
as the concentric system.
The passage to the outside can be made with a wall duct (see section 6.5.2) or with a roof duct (see section 6.5.3).
If necessary, you can also use an existing discharge channel (see section 6.5.4).
N.B. - Only use the concentric system supplied by DRU (Ø100 / Ø150 mm). This system was tested in combination with the
appliance; DRU cannot guarantee a proper and safe operation of other systems and cannot accept liability for these
systems;
- For connecting to an existing chimney ue you should only use the installation set supplied by DRU.
The concentric system is constructed from (the discharge stump of) the appliance.
If structural circumstances require that the concentric system is placed first, the appliance can later be connected
with a telescopic pipe piece.
6.5.2 Application with wall duct
6.5.2.1 Construction of concentric system with wall duct
The concentric system with wall duct has to comply with the following conditions (see Fig. 4):
- First, a concentric pipe of at least 0.8 meters should be connected vertically to the appliance;
- The total vertical pipe length may have a maximum of 4 meters;
- A 90° bend is connected to the end of the vertical part;
- The wall duct is connected directly to the 90° bend (i.e. no horizontal part).
When using this configuration you must remove the air inlet guides (see Section 6.8, Adjusting the appliance); the
baffle is not fitted.
6.5.2.2 Installing the concentric system
To install the concentric system commence as follows:
➠
Construct the system from the (connection stub of the) appliance up.
N.B. - Maintain a distance of at least 50 mm between the outside of the concentric system and the walls and /or ceiling. If
the system will be built in (for instance) a cove, it should be fully made of incombustible material;
- Use heat-resistant insulating material for ducts made of combustible material;
- The rosette (mounting inner plate) of the wall duct is too small to seal the Ø 250 mm opening when passing through
combustible material. That is why you should rst apply a suciently large heat-resistant intermediate plate to the
wall. Then, the rosette is mounted on the intermediate plate.

the top;
- Make sure the horizontal concentric pipe pieces are
sloping towards the wall duct, in order to prevent rain water from entering.
➠
Mount the rosette (mounting inner plate); if necessary, on a heat resistant intermediate plate when passing through
combustible material;
➠
Attach the wall duct from the outside with four screws in their respective holes.
!N.B. Some heat-resistant isolation materials contain volatile components that will spread an unpleasant smell for a pro-
longed time; these are not suitable.
6.5.3 Application with roof duct
6.5.3.1 Construction of concentric system with roof duct
The concentric system with roof duct has to comply with the following conditions
➠
The construction of the chosen system has to be allowed. (See the procedure described below);
➠
First, a concentric pipe of at least 1 meter should be connected vertically to the appliance.
Depending on the construction of the concentric system, the appliance is set by placing the baffle and/or removing
the air inlet guides.
In the following procedure you can see how the allowability of a concentric system can be determined and which
settings are needed.
➠
Determine the following data:
1. The number of bends required (no distinction is made between 45° and 90° bends);
2. The total number of meters of horizontal pipe length;
3. The total number of meters of vertical and/or sloping pipe length (wall duct not included).
With these data and Table 1 you will be able to determine whether the concentric system is allowed.
In Table 2 you can see which setting the appliance needs.
Follow the procedure described below:
➠
In the rst 2 columns of Table 1, look for the number of bends required and the total horizontal pipe length;
➠
In the 3rd column of Table 1, look for the total vertical and/or sloping pipe length.
If you end up in a box with the letter A, B, or C, the concentric system chosen by you is allowed.
➠

- First lay branch A symmetrically with respect to the pilot burner;
- Continue with branches B, C, D and E.
➠
Now lay branches F to I across the burner (see Photo 7).
N.B. The branches must not cover the burner cap entirely (see Photos 5 and 8) because:
- the main burner will then not ignite properly, which could lead to unsafe situations;
- soot will accumulate faster;
- the ame eect will be distorted.
➠
Fill the tray around the burner with chippings; spread the chippings evenly.
6.9.2 Pebblestone set
The pebblestone set consists of naturally coloured vermiculite; (see Photo 2) and white carrara stones.
➠
Fill the burner tray with vermiculite; equally spread the vermiculite, see Photo 12.
!N.B. - You can inuence the ame image by moving the vermiculite, yet;
- the burner deck has to remain covered with vermiculite in order to prevent that the life expectancy of the burner is
reduced.
➠
Fill the burner tray and the tray surrounding the burner with carrara stones;
➠
Spread the carrara stones equally over one layer, see Photo 12 and 13.
N.B. If pebbles on top of each other or otherwise wrongly arranged this could result in:
- the main burner not igniting properly, which could lead to unsafe situations;
- the ame eect will be distorted.

➠
Place the receiver in the control box as indicated in Photo 22.
➠
Bend the aerial out of the clips, see Photo 21, arrow D.
➠
Put the aerial straight up.
!N.B. - Do not put the aerial too close to the ignition wire and/or metal parts (see Photo 22 for the correct position);
- Do not lay the ignition wire across and/or beside metal parts: this will weaken the spark;
- Do not lay the ignition wire across the receiver: this could damage the receiver;
- Avoid dust accumulating on or in the receiver: cover it during servicing or maintenance.
7.1.1 Fitting/replacing the batteries
To fit the batteries:
➠
Open the ap on the control box;
➠
Take the receiver;
➠
Slide the lid o;
➠
Fit or remove the 4 penlight (AA size) batteries.
!N.B. - Avoid short circuits between the batteries and metal objects/components;
- Note the “+” and “-” positions of the batteries in the holder;
- Use alkaline batteries.
➠
Slide the lid back on;
➠
Replace the receiver.
!N.B. Do not throw batteries in the dustbin, they are considered “domestic chemical waste” and should be disposed of
accordingly.
8. Final inspection
To ensure the appliance is working correctly and safely, check the following before use:
8.1 Gastightness
N.B. All connections must be gastight.
!N.B. The maximum pressure to which the gas control block may be exposed is 50 mbar.
➠
Test the connections for gastightness.
8.2 Gas pressure/pre-pressure
The burner pressure is factory adjusted; see type plate. It is not necessary to test the burner pressure.
The pre-pressure in domestic installations should be tested however, as this can vary.
➠
Check the pre-pressure; see picture 27 for the measuring nipple on the gas control block;
➠
Contact the power company if the pre-pressure is not right.
8.3 Igniting the pilot and main burner
8.3.1 Pilot
➠
Test that the pilot ignites properly, see Operating instruction, section 4.2 Remote control:
- the pilot burner should ignite at the rst attempt.
If the pilot does not light, then
➠
Check whether or not the ignition sparks:
Photo 21 Photo 22
UK

18
Metro 130 - instruction for installation
English
a) If not, the ignition wire is probably touching something metal;
b)If it does, there is probably air in the pipes.
➠
Bleed o any air in the pipes and/or;
➠
Move the ignition wire so that it does not touch anything metal.
8.3.2 Main burner
N.B. The burner should ignite evenly and should not pop as a result of delayed ignition.
➠
Test the working of the main burner from stand-by (pilot) mode; see Operating instruction, section 4.2 Remote control;
➠
once the gas valve has opened the main burner should ignite within a few seconds.
!Tip When the gas valve opens the motor will start to run; this is audible.
If the main burner does not ignite, then:
➠
Check that button A on the gas control block is set to ON;
➠
Check that the space round the pilot is free;
➠
Check that the logs/pebbles have been arranged correctly;
➠
Resolve any of the above as necessary;
➠
Test the main burner 5 times to ensure it is working properly.
8.4 Flame effect
The flame effect cannot really be assessed until the fire has been on for several hours. Volatile elements in paint,
materials, etc., which evaporate during the first hours of use, will initially influence the flame effect.
!N.B. If the chimney breast is made of stone-like materials or has been nished in stucco, it should be left to dry for at least
6 weeks prior to taking it into operation, in order to prevent cracks.
➠
Check that the ame eect is symmetrical.
An asymmetrical flame effect could be caused by:
- volatile substances evaporating;
- incorrectly arranged logs/pebbles.
➠
Rearrange the logs/pebbles as necessary.
9. Maintenance
The appliance should be inspected, cleaned and if necessary repaired by a qualified installer with professional expe-
rience of decorative gas fires at least once a year.
The appliance should at least be tested to check it works correctly and safely.
N.B. - Switch o the gas before commencing any maintenance;
- Test the gastightness after any repairs;
- After replacing the thermocouple you should rst tighten the swivel of the gas control block by hand and then give
it another quarter turn with a suitable spanner.
➠
Clean the following components if necessary:
- the pilot burner;
- the combustion chamber;
- the glass
!N.B. - Remove the glass as described in section 6.10
- Remove the deposit on the inside of the glass with a damp cloth or a non-abrasive cleaning product such as copper
polish;
- Avoid/remove ngerprints on the window as they will burn into the glass;
- Replace broken and/or cracked glass.
