Please note: You should only assemble this wood fire if you are suitably experienced in
wood fire assembly and installation.
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 Rad Plus wood fire
The Rad Plus is supplied virtually fully assembled. Packed inside the firebox you will
find 3 x bricks in a cardboard wrapper, a door handle and air control knob.
• Remove the three tek screws holding the fire onto the wooden pallet. Two are
located in the rear base of each side panel and one central in the front lower cross
rail under the lower door. To open the wood storage door push the right hand side
to release the magnetic spring loaded catch. Carefully lift the Metro off the pallet.
• Open the door fully and fit the side bricks to each side of the firebox. Z brackets
and location lugs are fitted to the base and rear wall of the firebox to retain the
side bricks in position. Refer to Diagram 2 for the orientation of the bricks.
• Attach the door handle to the door latch assembly by screwing it on clockwise.
• Attach the air control knob by screwing it on clockwise.
All Metro wood fires comply with AS/NZS 2918 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 and have been
tested to AS/NZS 2918 with a 12mm spaced ceiling plate of no less than
345mm square
• 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/NZS 2918.
• 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.
