Once connected, this direct venting option ensures the air that is heated within the home, stays in the home improving efficiency and reducing fuel usage. Note: Connection of the Metro’s direct vent inlet to outside the home is optional.

Where to install a Metro wood fire in your home 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.

Getting to know your Metro wood fire Operating your Metro wood 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, 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.

Cleaning and maintenance for your Metro wood fire 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’s are coated with either vitreous enamel or a high temperature silver coating (HPC); • • Vitreous enamel is extremely durable and designed to last the life of the appliance.

Troubleshooting your Metro wood fire 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. The following may be of assistance if you are experiencing any of these problems.
