All Metro wood fires comply with AS/NZS2918:2001 when installed in
accordance with this manual. Please ensure you are fully conversant with
the 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 fires 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 fire
• In New Zealand, the Metro fire 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 75kgs up to
185kgs. 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 fire into place onto the hearth or
floor protector as point loading may break tiles and/or scratch surfaces.
Please note: You should only assemble this wood fire if you are suitably
experienced in wood fire assembly and installation. The Metro carton shows
the model Metro you are about to install, enabling you to select the appropriate
model’s assembly instructions.
All Metro wood fires 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 follows.
Metro radiant fires
These Metro’s are supplied virtually fully assembled. Packed inside the firebox
you will find bricks in a cardboard wrapper, a wire door handle and the air
control wire handle.
•
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
• Open the door fully and fit the side bricks to each side of the firebox.
Location lugs are fitted to the base and rear wall of the firebox to retain the
side bricks in position. Refer to Diagram 2

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.

Pioneer manufacture an extensive range of Pioneer ‘Ash Floor Protectors’
which comply with the minimum floor protector requirements of
AS/NZS2918:2001, and can be installed with any freestanding Metro
wood fire. Metro freestanding wood fires do not require an insulated floor
protector as they comply with the minimum floor protector requirements of
AS/NZS2918:2001. These minimum floor protector requirements are;
• They must be of adequate size to give appropriate wall, rear and front
clearances/projections as detailed below and in the chart illustrated on
page 7. Note;
• The floor protector must extend 200mm horizontally to the rear and
each side directly below the door opening, and 300mm forward of the
door opening
• The upper surface of the floor protector must be made of non-
combustible material.
A suitable floor protector for a Metro freestanding wood fire is therefore any
non-combustible material which could include;
• Ceramic tiles with grouted joints fixed directly to a hard base over
timber flooring
• A sheet of toughened glass, panel steel etc. laid directly onto a wooden
or other combustible floor.
Metro radiant fires
Lift the Metro fire onto the floor protector and using a suitable measuring
device, ensure that the minimum wall clearances and front floor protector
projections as detailed in the chart on page 7 are met or exceeded.
Once the Metro’s location on the floor protector is established and if the
installation is within New Zealand, seismic restraint is required.
Using masonry anchors if the floor protector is on a concrete floor or coach
bolts if a wooden floor, secure through the holes provided at the base,
behind both rear legs.
Note: The anchors must pass through the floor protector and securely
anchor the Metro to the floor.
Metro pedestal and base model fires
Prior to lifting the Metro fire onto the floor protector, ensure you have
removed, rotated and re-assembled the mount plate from the back of the
pedestal base as detailed in diagrams 3 & 3A above. This rear panel must
be rotated with the return fold facing back the opposite way to create the
mount plate and fixing points for seismic restraint of the wood fire.
Lift the Metro fire onto the floor protector and using a suitable measuring
device, ensure that the minimum wall clearances and front floor protector
projections as detailed in the chart on page 7 are met or exceeded.
Once the location of the fire is established, you can then secure the Metro
through the floor protector into the floor using the two seismic restraint
holes in the rear edge of the mount plate. Use masonry anchors if the floor
protector is on a concrete floor or coach bolts if a wooden floor
Note: The anchors must pass through the floor protector and securely
anchor the Metro to the floor.

It is recommended that all Metro freestanding wood fires be installed
with the energy efficient ECO Flue System which comes complete with a
detailed installation manual. This installation manual must be presented
with your application to gain consent with your local council.
A copy of the ECO Flue System installation manual can be downloaded
from metrofires.co.nz, or a copy can be obtained from your Metro retailer.
Any alternative flue system must comply with and be installed as detailed
in AS/NZS2918:2001, and a copy of the installation manual must also be
presented with your application to gain consent with your local council.
All Metro fires require a 150mm diameter flue. Please note:
• Metro ECO flue systems must be installed to allow unrestricted air
supply from either the ceiling cavity for an ECO Flue Kit, or above the
roof line if the ECO Flue Kit and ECO Option Kits are both installed
• The ECO Flue system must be installed into a ‘vented’ flat ceiling cavity,
or have an ECO Option Kit added to the flue system to provide an
external air supply
• ECO Flue systems shall be installed in accordance with
AS/NZS2918:2001 and the appropriate requirements of the relevant
building codes
• Any modification to this flue system that has not been approved in
writing by the testing authority is considered to be in breach of all
approvals granted
• The flue systems 150mm diameter flue pipe must terminate a
minimum of 4.6 metres above the top surface of the floor protector
• All joints in the flue pipe must be sealed with Pioneer fire cement (or
similar) and riveted. The base of the flue pipe must also be sealed into
the Metro fires flue outlet. This is critical for optimum operation.
All Metro fires have been tested with a Pioneer double flue shield. For the
Metro fire to be installed with minimal clearances as the clearance table on
page 7 states, only the Pioneer double flue shield can be used. All other
flue shields will invalidate the installation.

Water heating is another key feature of your Metro wood fire; nearly all
Metro models can be fitted with a wetback, which are designed to give
maximum output with minimal effect on the operation of the fire. Only
the Pioneer cast jacket wetback system should be fitted to your Metro;
alternative wetbacks will void the Metro’s emission approvals and may
seriously affect the performance of the appliance and void its warranty.
Wetback connections are as follows, taken facing the Metro/wall; the return
pipe connection is directly above the inlet connection. Heights for all
models are illustrated and detailed opposite on page 7.
•
ECO Tiny Ped and ECO Tiny Rad models are 92mm left of the flue centre
• The Tiny Rad Woody model is 184mm left of the flue centre
• Wee Series models are 226mm left of the flue centre
• The Classic Rad model is 184mm left of the flue centre
• All other models are 140mm left of the flue centre
All wetbacks are fitted to the inside rear wall of the firebox, with the
exception of the Tiny Rad Woody, clean air Wee Series models and the
Classic Rad model. Side wetback position for these models is to the outside
left hand firebox wall. Please see the specific installation instructions in the
‘Side Wetback’ box for installation of a wetback into these appliances.
It is recommended the return pipe has a minimum rise of 1 in 12;
performance will reduce as the distance to the storage cylinder increases.
To fit the wetback proceed as follows
1. Remove the rear panel of the Metro by removing the four pozi drive
screws. Remove the two pre-punched knockouts from this panel.
2. Two further knockouts will be visible on the inner rear heatshield,
remove these also. Once these are removed 6mm nuts will be visible
through the knockout holes.
3. Open the Metro’s door and locate two bolts securing the pressed
washers which are visible on the left hand side of the firebox for both
inlet and outlet connection points.
4. A further three bolt heads will also be visible on the inside rear wall of
the firebox; these are threaded into the 6mm thick firebox. Remove all
three.
5. Using the tube of sealant supplied with the wetback, apply a liberal
bead of sealant around both the two connection pipes and also the
outer circumference of the wetback which will face and press against
the inside rear wall of the firebox. This will completely seal the wetback
to the inside rear wall of the fire on installation.
Ensure there is no gap between pipe and rear wall access holes. This
cement must fully cure before appliance use.
6.
Fit the wetback into the firebox and carefully pass the connection pipes
through the holes in the rear of the firebox. Securely attach the wetback
using the three bolts previously removed from the rear face of the
firebox, fitting them through the slots provided in the wetback’s jacket.
7. The wetback is now ready for connection to the storage cylinder by a
registered plumber.
Wetback installation
• DO NOT connect to an unvented hot water system
• Install in accordance with AS 3500.4.1 or NZS 4603 and the
appropriate requirements of the relevant building code or codes.
WARNING! Important Information
• Wetbacks must be connected with water before operating the
fire and available to the wetback while the fire is in operation
• Wetback systems are not suitable for use in locations where the
water supply has lime content. Lime build up inside the coil will
eventually block the coil causing the wetback to fail
• Rainwater collection tanks installed lower than the wetback that
use a water pump to supply the home, can cause problems if
the pump is not operational. In these situations either the type
of wetback or a roof header tank should be considered

Minimum clearances
All Metro wood fires comply with AS/NZS2918:2001. Minimum clearances
shown below are detailed in millimetres, with a Pioneer double flue
shield fitted to the appliance. Measurements are taken from the following
reference points as illustrated:
- From the nearest combustible wall or surface (A, B, D, E, G, H)
- From the Metro’s flue centre (A, B, C, D)
- From the Metro’s cabinet/heatshield outermost point (E, F, G, H)
- To the edge of the ash floor protectors non-combustible surface
(C, F, I, J, K, L, M)
AS/NZS2918:2001 allows for a reduction in minimum clearances as
detailed in Section 3, tables 3.1 and 3.2 of the standard.
Some Metro models have undergone additional testing which allows for
reduced clearances. Please see the footnotes below the clearance table for
the applicable models.
Wetback connections (taken facing the Metro/wall)
• ECO Tiny Ped and ECO Tiny Rad models are 92mm left of the flue centre
• The Tiny Rad Woody model is 184mm left of the flue centre
• Wee Series models are 226mm left of the flue centre
• The Classic Rad model is 184mm left of the flue centre
• All other models are 140mm left of the flue centre

The Wee Rad installed with a Pioneer double flue shield with the Wee Rad corner wing shields fitted allows for reduced clearances as follows:
1Wee Rad corner clearance (E) can be reduced to 120mm. This in turn also reduces clearances (D) to 425mm, (K) to 1180mm and (L) to 985mm. When fitting the corner wing
shields, the Wee Rad itself must be installed to a corner clearance (E) of 120mm. The corner wing shields are then fitted which gives a wall to shield corner clearance of 100mm.
The following models installed with a Pioneer double flue shield with the side extensions fitted allows for reduced clearances as follows:
2Wee Ped corner clearance (E) can be reduced to 115mm. This in turn also reduces clearances (D) to 436mm, (K) to 1197mm and (L) to 996mm.
3Classic Rad corner clearance (E) can be reduced to 180mm. This in turn also reduces clearances (D) to 460mm, (K) to 1430mm and (L) to 1127mm.

This slow combustion appliance is designed to give you many years
of warmth and service, subject to the following key factors. These key
factors, if not adhered to are the major causes of unsafe installation, poor
performance and flue blockages and potential product failure.
1. Your Metro wood fire must be installed correctly. Metro recommend a
competent and suitably qualified NZHHA installer.
2. The only fuel to be used in this appliance shall be wood that meets the
following criteria.
– Less than 25% moisture content
– Has not been treated with preservatives or impregnated with
chemicals or glue,
– Is not chipboard, particle board, or laminated board,
– Is not painted, stained or oiled
– Is not driftwood or other salt impregnated wood
3. The appliance shall be operated at all times in accordance with the
“Installation and Operating Instructions” supplied with each appliance.
4. It is preferable that Metro wood fires should be installed with a Metro
ECO Flue System.
5. Coal must not be used as a fuel.
Please also note the following important points:
• In New Zealand a building consent is required from your local building
authority. The homeowner is responsible for obtaining this consent
• As correct installation is critical to the performance and safe operation
of your Metro, it is recommended your Metro be installed by a NZHHA
registered installer or a person suitably qualified in the installation
of wood fires. Your Metro retailer will be able to arrange professional
installation for you
• During the very first fire your Metro will give off an odour and fumes
as the firebox paint cures. Do not be alarmed; open all windows and
externally opening doors in that room and close any internally opening
doors. This curing process will last for approximately one hour and is
likely to happen this one time
• Properly seasoned (dry) timber is necessary for the Metro to operate
efficiently; firewood that contains a high moisture content will result in
flue pipe blockages, reduce heat output and create other issues.
Note: Once split, Softwood usually takes 12 months to season - Hardwood
can take up to 24 months to season - Wood must be stored in a location
that enables air circulation. Unseasoned wood stored in a closed woodshed
without air circulation will still be unseasoned 12 months later.
• It is critical that the fire not be operated with over worn, faulty or missing
door seals. Door seals will harden over time and become over-worn (3-4
year’s) this will cause air to leak into the fire, causing the appliance to
‘over fire’
• It is critical that the fire not be operated with over worn, faulty or missing
bricks, baffle plate, promet extension (white board on the baffle plate)
• It is critical that the fire not be operated with cracked or broken door
glass.
Please note, the above 3 points require regular inspection/maintenance
(every time the ash bed is cleaned out, generally 3-5 times a season) and
if not maintained will void the firebox warranty. A glowing firebox or lower
fluepipe is just one sign you are over firing your appliance. Please ensure
you keep your proof of purchase/receipt on any parts you purchase.
• For optimum performance fuel must be loaded so the logs lay “front
to rear” in preference to laying across the width of the firebox. Spaces
should be left between the logs to enable oxygen to get to as much of
the surface of the fuel as possible
• A small hot fire loaded frequently is more efficient than a large fire
burning on a low setting
• Your Metro is covered by a full unconditional 12 month warranty on
replacement parts, and a 10 year firebox warranty.
• WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ THIS ENTIRE
MANUAL AS INCORRECT OPERATION, MISUSE AND/OR
LACK OF MAINTENANCE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY
• Any modification of the appliance that has not been approved in
writing by the testing authority is considered as breaching
AS/NZS 4013 and will void the warranty
• Do not use flammable liquids or aerosols in the vicinity of this
appliance when it is operating
• Never operate your Metro with the top grill removed
• Do not dry clothes on or near this appliance
• Do not use flammable liquids or aerosols to start or rekindle the fire
OR store fuel within the Metro’s specified installation clearances
•
Never operate your Metro with the door ajar, except on initial start up
• Open the air control fully before opening the Metro’s door.
WARNING! Important Information
• This appliance should be maintained & operated at all times in
accordance with this instruction manual
• This appliance should not be operated with cracked door glass, over
worn, faulty or missing door seals
• Do not use driftwood, treated or unseasoned (wet) fuel, the use of
most types of preservative treated wood as fuel can be hazardous
and will damage your appliance
• Burning unseasoned (wet) fuel or incorrect operation on extended
low burn cycles will cause excessive creosote to form. Creosote is
very corrosive and excessive buildups will result in the flue pipe, flue
spigot and upper burn chamber failing. Failure of the applicance
and/or flue system due to creosote damage is not covered under
warranty. The formation of such is not an appliance issue it is a fuel
and operational issue

Congratulations on the purchase of your Metro wood fire
CAUTION! Important Information

Wood fires are usually installed in the main living area, which is the section
of the home that is usually kept the warmest, being the area in the home
most frequently occupied. However, before deciding on the best location for
your Metro wood fire you may wish to consider:
• Water heating. If you are intending to have a wetback it is important
that the wood fire is as close as practically possible to the water storage
cylinder
• Split level homes are best heated when the wood fire is installed on the
lower level, as the heated air will rise to the higher levels
• Building construction is another consideration. Specified clearances
from walls, curtains etc must be maintained and you need to ensure no
structural beams or internal gutters etc are directly above your preferred
site. If you have a two storey dwelling you need to consider the second
storey to ensure you don’t have the flue directly outside a second storey
window.
Generally, you can install your Metro in your home anywhere that suits you;
Pioneer offer various fan systems to transfer heat to other sections of the
home that are not heated sufficiently. It is necessary if using a fan system
that the Metro you have purchased has sufficient output to heat the total
area you wish to heat. Your Metro retailer or installer will be able to advise if
you are uncertain.
Water heating is another key feature of your Metro wood fire; nearly all Metro
models can be fitted with a wetback, which are designed to give maximum
output with minimal effect on the operation of the fire. Only the Pioneer cast
jacket wetback system should be fitted to your Metro; alternative wetbacks
will void the Metro’s emission approvals and may seriously affect the
performance of the appliance and void its warranty.
Other considerations are:
• Distance from your Metro to the storage cylinder will affect the amount
of hot water produced
• Your climate & the manner in which you will ‘fire’ your Metro will
determine the amount of hot water produced.
Note: Wetbacks are not suitable for use in locations where the water supply
has lime content. Lime build up inside the coil will eventually block the coil
causing the wetback to fail.
Cost Savings
Wetbacks can enable substantial power savings, dependent on the climate
in the area in which you live. If you live in a cold climate you are likely to use
your Metro for many months of the year, in which case a Pioneer wetback
will reduce or even eliminate your water heating costs over those months. If
however you live in a warmer climate and use your Metro for only a few hours
a day over the colder months, electricity savings will be considerably less.
Water Pressure
A common misconception is that you must have a low-pressure system
to have a wetback; this is not true. You must have a ‘vented’ system and
high-pressure cylinders are usually not vented. However you can install an
‘indirect’ cylinder which contains a secondary coil inside the storage cylinder,
enabling you to have a wetback while retaining a high-pressure system.
Wetback Suitable for models:
2kW Wetback • ECO Tiny Rad
• ECO Tiny Ped
Side Wetback • Tiny Rad Woody
• Wee Rad & Wee Rad Base

Optional wetbacks

If your Metro has only been installed within the past few days, the fire
cement seal at the base of the flue will not be fully cured. To ensure the
cement sets without blistering it is recommended you burn 2-3 sheets of
loosely crumpled newspaper at a time, approximately once every hour over
a 6-8 hour period.
During the very first fire your Metro will give off an odour and fumes as the
firebox paint cures. Do not be alarmed. Open all windows and externally
opening doors in that room and close any internally opening doors. This
curing process will last for approximately one hour and is likely to happen
this one time.
Start up
Place a quantity of loosely crumpled newspaper on the base of the firebox
until it is approximately half full of paper, or place firelighters on the base
of the firebox. Add dry kindling and move the air control knob fully to the
right, being the ‘full open’ position.
Light the paper at two or three locations across the front of the door
opening and leave the door slightly ajar resting on the latch pin if necessary
for a few minutes while the fire establishes. Once the kindling is burning
well, open the door and add 2-3 small logs at a time until you have a well-
established fire. Usually this will take approximately 30 minutes, during
which time the air control should be set on “high” and the door should be
closed, except for the initial few minutes and when fuel is being added.
Normal operation
Once the fire is well established, regulate the air control to achieve the
desired burn rate and heat output. As you move the air control to the right,
burn rate, firebox temperature and heat output will increase, if you move
the control to the left they will decrease. Please note:
• Always open the air control fully prior to opening the door, then open
the door slowly. Every time you refuel, leave the air control on ‘high’ for
a minimum of 20-25 minutes
• When loading logs, place them end-on, ‘front to back’; air spaces
should be left between the logs to enable oxygen to get to as much of
the surface of the fuel as possible
• Never use the door to force wood into the firebox, as this is likely to
break the glass.
Extended burning (rural models only)
It is most important if your Metro is to be refuelled and turned down for an
extended period, such as an overnight burn that you operate it correctly:
• The wood used as fuel for extended burning MUST BE FULLY
SEASONED (DRY). Once the fuel is loaded, the appliance must be
operated on high for a period of at least 20 minutes to drive out
residual moisture from the fuel (dry wood is usually 20% water content)
and ensure surface area combustion.
• Do not turn the air control down lower than you need to, if you want
the Metro to burn overnight, endeavour to obtain an 8 hour burn time,
not 12 hours. It will take a few burns to find the correct location of your
Metro’s air control setting to achieve the length of burn cycle you desire
as this setting is affected by several variables including fuel density,
flue length and outside wind velocity.
• A smouldering fire over a long time frame is likely to deposit corrosive
elements into your system which could be detrimental to your Metro.
Cooking
All Metro’s are designed to enable cooking of soups, stews and casseroles
etc, and your Metro will easily boil a flat bottom stainless steel kettle. The
Radiant Series have a dedicated cooking top enabling large pots to be
placed on the cook top, while all other models have a lift-off grill.
Note: Metro’s supplied with a lift-off top grill have this feature to enable the
grill to be removed for cleaning if you have a spill. The lift-off top grill must
be left on when cooking, because if removed the wall temperatures next to
the appliance may become excessive and the top of the firebox is generally
too hot to cook on directly.
Radiant fires air control All other fires air control
Operating your Metro wood fire
Getting to know your Metro wood fire
Operating your Metro fire is simple and you will quickly learn how to get the
best from it. First take a minute to familiarise yourself with your new Metro.
• Raise the door handle anti-clockwise until the latch releases, and then
slowly pull the door open. You will note that if you let the door go before
it is at 90° to the appliance, it will fall closed. This is a safety feature that
ensures the door cannot fall open if it is not latched securely. For the
door to remain open, you must open it fully
• There is a single air control making your Metro fire easy to adjust. This
control moves from left to right, which is ‘low to high’.
All Metro radiant fires have a wire air control handle located at the upper
right hand side of the appliance. Simply pull out to increase burn rate or
push in to reduce burn rate.
All other Metro fires have an air control knob located on the upper front
panel of the appliance.
Slide this control knob gently from right to left until you reach a stop. This is
a pre-set ‘low’ position. Your Metro fire must not be operated at a lower burn
rate than this pre-set low allows.
• If not operated correctly on extended burn cycles, your Metro
is likely to incur flue blockages, corrosion of the upper baffle,
lower flue pipe and firebox flue spigot. As these are not covered
under warranty if they fail through improper use, it is important
you operate your Metro correctly.
CAUTION! Important Information

11
Your Metro fire will give you many years of efficient service with minimal
maintenance if operated correctly using seasoned fuel. Your Metro fire must
be regularly maintained and replacement parts must be authorised Metro
fires parts only.
The Metro radiant fires are painted wood fires and coated with ‘Pioneer
Metallic Black’ high temperature paint and will require periodic repainting to
keep them looking their best.
All other Metro fires are coated with vitreous enamel. Vitreous enamel is
extremely durable and designed to last the life of the appliance. As vitreous
enamel is glass, a solid or heavy object dropped or banged against a panel
could chip the enamel surface.
All model Metro fires can be cleaned with a soft cloth when the appliance is
not in operation.
Door glass
Providing your fuel is properly seasoned, under normal operating conditions
the air-wash design of the Metro’s firebox will keep the door glass clear.
If the glass requires cleaning you may use either a razor blade scraper or
crumpled wetted newspaper dipped in wood ash rubbed over the glass.
If your door glass breaks it must be replaced with 5mm thick ceramic glass
which is available from your local Metro retailer.
Door seals
Over time, usually 3-4 years, the door and glass seals will become hard and
cause air to leak into the firebox, causing the appliance to ‘over fire’. Your
Metro retailer stocks replacement woven fibreglass door and glass seals,
which need replacing when they become hard and over worn.
The door of your Metro is easily removed. Hold it in both hands and lift the
hinge end of the door up and over the top hinge pin, then lower the door
from the bottom hinge pin.
Side bricks
Hair-line cracks are not uncommon and are a result of the intense heat
within the Metro’s firebox, coupled with mechanical damage caused by
accidental impact when fuel is being loaded. However if the side bricks
become cracked to the extent that they start to break up, they must be
replaced.
Door adjustment
Provision is available on both sides of the door for adjustment.
To adjust the hinge end of the door, open the door fully, loosen the top hinge
nut and slightly lift the latch end of the door; you will see the hinge assembly
move back 1-2mm which will usually be sufficient. Retighten, then repeat
by loosening the lower hinge nut, this time applying a slight downwards
pressure onto the door to move the lower hinge assembly back a similar
distance, then retighten.
The door latch is also adjustable, as the latch pin on the right side of the
firebox is fitted through a slot which enables the latch pin to be loosened,
moved back and re-tightened.
Ash removal
Over a period of time ash will build up in the base of the Metro’s firebox and
require removal. The time this build-up takes depends on the density and
cleanliness of your fuel.
To remove the excess ash your Metro should not be operating.
• Open the door, and using a hearth shovel or similar, empty the excess
ash directly into a steel or non-combustible container.
• If the ash is not disposed of immediately, be careful where you store it,
as the ash can retain heat for many days and become a fire hazard.
• You must leave a bed of ash in the base of the firebox approximately
10mm deep; this insulates the base of the firebox and improves
combustion.
Top baffle
This is a ‘sacrificial’ wear part of the firebox and should be checked monthly.
Usually only the promet (white board) front/underneath section needs to be
replaced when it starts to disintegrate.
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. Burning wood which is not
properly seasoned, i.e. 25% moisture content or more, will over time cause
the promet to disintegrate and require replacement.
Flue systems
Should be checked annually, particularly the bottom end of the lower flue
section at its rear lock formed joint. If deterioration is noticed contact your
Metro retailer or installer.
The flue 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 flue pipe is becoming restricted
and needs cleaning. The frequency of flue pipe cleans depends on many
factors, with the main variables being:
• The seasoning of the wood. If not properly seasoned you will require
frequent flue pipe cleans.
• The density of the wood. Softwoods generally result in more deposits
building up in the flue pipe.
To clean the flue 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 baffle 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 floor protector. To
prevent jamming, removal and replacement of the top baffle is best
performed using both hands.
Note: Some appliances have a two piece top baffle.
• Close the door and slide the air control to the left.
• Once on the roof, remove the cowl from the top of flue system and
sweep the flue pipe using a 150mm-diameter flue pipe brush as
detailed in the instructions provided with the fluebrush.
• Once the flue pipe is clear, clean and refit the cowl. Remove the excess
soot which has fallen into the firebox, leaving a layer of ash 10mm deep
on the base of the firebox, then refit the top baffle.
Note: The baffle must be fitted so its rear is touching the back of the firebox;
if uncertain refer to page 3 in the installation section at the front of this
manual, which shows illustrations of the baffle location.
Cleaning and maintenance for your Metro wood fire

12
If your Metro is installed correctly, your fuel is dry and you operate your
fire correctly, you will find it to be a pleasure to use. Metro’s many years of
experience within the wood heating industry has shown that dissatisfaction
is mainly due to:
• unseasoned fuel
• faulty installation
• operational error
• or a combination of the above 3 points.
Correct operation
Modern day wood fires need to be operated hard and fast, more so than
low and lazy to ensure the firebox and flue pipe runs hot and efficiently. If
the fire and flue pipe is up to temperature it will perform extremely well, the
smoke will draw up the flue pipe with ease, and the fire will produce good
amounts of heat.
If the fire is operated on low a lot of the time, the door glass will run black,
the flue pipe will tend to block up more frequently and the fire will end
up smoking into the room when reloading. It’s better to have a small fire
running hard and fast, rather than a big fire running low and lazy.
The following may be of assistance if you are experiencing any problems
with the operation of your Metro Fire.
Smoke enters the room when the Metro’s door is ajar
(possible reasons and solutions)
Check flue pipe joins
If the flue pipe joins are not sealed correctly, the flue pipe will not draw as well
as it should. The flue pipe join connecting into the flue spigot on top of the
Metro is most critical, if this is not sealed correctly, smoke will enter the room
when the door is ajar. To check this join is sealed correctly, run a match or
lighter flame around the join. If the flame is sucked into the spigot then it is
not sealed correctly. This check needs to be done when the fire is not going.
Ensure you check the rear of the flue pipe/spigot join, as due to the seam in
the flue pipe, this is the most common area for not being sealed correctly.
Ensure the fuel you are using is correctly seasoned
If you are burning unseasoned fuel (wet), the fire will cause nothing but
problems. The Metro won’t deliver much heat, it will be lazy, smoke will
enter the room when the door is ajar, and the door glass will run black.
Unseasoned fuel is the main contributor to excessive creosote deposits
which can be corrosive to your appliance and flue system.
Flue pipe length is too short
Add more flue pipe as the longer the flue system, the better the draw of
the flue pipe. Please note, if you did not purchase the Metro ECO Flue
System, you will not have the ECO Cowl which increases draw. We highly
recommend the Metro ECO Cowl is fitted as this will increase the draw. If
you already have an ECO Cowl and smoke is still entering the room, please
add another 600mm length of flue pipe.
Downdraft/Turbulence blockage
If you have checked all of the previous factors and the fire is still smoking
into the room, it’s possible there may be a down draft issue. Down draft is
environmental and can be caused by many variables, and it is purely trial
and error to ascertain the cause.
Air turbulence and/or negative air pressure influences around the flue
termination can be caused by too close or overhanging trees or natural/
artificial ridges etc. Address these where possible or look to extend the flue
above the roofline.
Other options may be:
• ‘H’ Cowl, designed purely for downdraft issues, but if you have an ECO
Cowl fitted as standard, you will also need to add another 600mm of
flue pipe to compensate as the H Cowl is shorter in length
• Directional Cowl, designed for high wind areas.
Air control setting
Ensure the air control setting is on high before opening the door to reload,
as this increases the draw up the flue pipe. Open the door slowly.
If your Metro did not smoke, but its starting too and is getting worse:
The flue pipe is in need of a clean. It is recommended that the flue pipe be
cleaned every season, however if you are burning the fire on low a lot, or are
using unseasoned fuel, flue pipe cleans will be required more frequently.
Other issues you may experience
I can smell smoke in the room after a low burn cycle
The smell is creosote that will be seeping through the flue pipe join or
out of the flue spigot onto an external surface, thus creating the smell
in your room. The cause will be either unseasoned fuel, fuel mass too
large, incorrect operation on low burn cycles or a combination. Creosote
is very corrosive and excessive buildups will result in the flue pipe and
potentially the flue spigot and upper burn chamber failing. The formation
of excessive creosote is not an appliance issue, it is a fuel and operational
issue. Failure of flue pipe or firebox due to creosote build up is not covered
under warranty as excessive creosote build up is only possible from either
unseasoned fuel or incorrect operation.
The Metro is noisy as it heats up and cools down
There will always be some expansion and contraction noise as the Metro
heats and cools. This can usually be reduced by loosening three nuts at the
rear of the appliance. To remedy, locate the 25mm deep cavity at the rear of
your Metro between the ‘rear panel’ and the ‘inner rear heat shield’. You will
see a 6mm nut and two 6mm bolt heads in this cavity. Using a 10mm ring
or open ended spanner, loosen all three so they are finger tight only.
On all Metro freestanding fires the air channel that allows the combustion air
to enter the fire is fitted to the top underneath of the door opening. It is fitted
with two M6 bolts. Slightly loosen both of these bolts.
The Metro won’t turn down as much as it did
The door itself may need readjusting, the hinge and latch is slotted and
allows for movement. Loosening the hinge and moving it back a few mm will
make the door seal tighter and stop air leaking into the fire. The door and
glass seals may be in need of replacing, which is generally required every
3-4 years.
Familiarise yourself with the instructions on page 10 before proceeding with
this maintenance.

Hairline cracks in the promet extension are not uncommon and will have
no adverse effect on the operation and performance of your Metro wood
fire. These cracks are the result of intense heat coupled with expansion and
contraction and is normal wear and tear.
If the promet extension starts to break up and pieces fall into the firebox it
must be replaced.
Note: Impact damage when loading wood and burning wood which is not
properly seasoned, i.e. 25% moisture content or more, will cause the promet
to disintegrate and require replacement. Always burn dry well seasoned
wood and take care when loading wood into the firebox.
