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anticlockwiseuntilthelatchreleases,

then slowly pull the door open. Load fuel and then close the

door ensuring the latch is secure. Never operate with the

door open or not latched securely.

• ThereisasingleaircontrolmakingyourMetroeasyto

adjust.Thiscontrolmovesfromlefttoright,whichis

“lowtohigh”.

All Metro inserts have an air

control knob located directly

above and to the right of the

door. Slide this control knob

gently from right to left until

you reach a stop, this is a

preset“low”position.

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 50% 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.

• 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.

• Everytimeyourefuel,leavetheaircontrolon“high”fora

minimum of 20-25 minutes.

• Neverusethedoortoforcewoodintotherebox,asthisis

likely to break the glass.

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:

• Splitlevelhomesarebestheatedwhenthewoodreis

installed on the lower level, as the heated air will rise to the

higher levels.

• Buildingconstructionisanotherconsideration.Specied

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.
