This Metro wood re has been tested to and complies with
AS/NZS2918:2001 incorporating Appendix “E” 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 4.1 metres of 150mm
diameter ue pipe & have been tested to AS/NZS2918:2001.
• The 150mm active ue pipe must be fully encased from the
top of the chimney 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.
• Ensure a breglass seal is placed between the outer cabinet
and the masonry to prevent air from within the room being
drawn into the chimney cavity.
• In New Zealand, the Metro Insert must be bolted securely to
the base of the chimney cavity to comply with the seismic
restraint provisions of AS/NZS2918.2001.
• The Metro fascia is coated in vitreous enamel. Please take
care during assembly and when lifting or tting the fascia
that you do not damage this coating. Do not lift the Metro
fascia with your ngers under the louvre’s.
