Pioneer Metro Installation & Owner's Operation Manual page 6

Installation
Position the Metro Insert firebox which is still attached to its wooden pallet
directly in front of the fireplace cavity with the rear of the insert facing the
fireplace opening. The fireplace insert assembly is bolted to the wooden
pallet through its base panel at two points being each front corner. Remove
both screws and slide the insert into the fireplace cavity taking care not to
mark the floor protector. Discard the pallet.
1. Attach the fascia with the four longer screws that were supplied in the
plastic bag, taking care that the air control lever passes through the slot
provided in the fascia. Centralise and level the fascia on the fireplace
insert door and secure the four screws.
2. Applying pressure to the fireplace firebox (not the fascia) carefully
manoeuvre the Metro until the rear of the fascia is just touching
the front face of the fireplace surround. Taking care not to move
the fireplace insert, remove the fascia and mark the position of the
fireplace insert onto the fireplace base.
3. Using a masonry drill, drill into the chimney base through the two slots
which the fireplace insert was secured to the pallet through. Check
to ensure the fireplace insert hasn't moved and secure using suitable
masonry anchors to comply with the seismic restraint provisions of the
standard.
4. Check that the flue stub of the fireplace insert is in line by looking down
the chimney, if not a stainless steel offset or flexi flue will be required.
5. Following the instruction sheet supplied with the flue system, proceed
and fit the flue with ALL JOINTS SEALED and riveted with a minimum
of three stainless steel or monel rivets on each joint.
6. With the flue pipe in position and sealed with a high temperature fire
cement into the flue stub, drill through the hole provided in the front of
the flue stub into the stainless steel flue pipe and secure with the 6mm
bolt and nut supplied in the plastic bag.
7. Refit the top baffle into the firebox's upper chamber. Support by the
steel plates only and keep the baffle horizontal.
8. Using a suitable rated insulation (fibretex 450 or similar) pack any gap
that exists between the sides and top of the fireplace insert cabinet and
fireplace surround. Do NOT block off the lower convection slots on all
three sides in the base of the outer wrap. (ECO Smart Insert model).

9. If installing into a clean air zone, the Metro ECO Insert firebox must be
installed with Metro's ECO Insert fan as detailed on page 2. Installation
and wiring of this fan module is necessary prior to fitting the fascia, and
full fitting instructions are supplied with the fan module.
10. Take the door you previously removed from the centre of the fascia and
unpack it. Taking the door in both hands with the spindle end in your
right hand and outer face of the door facing you, attach the door to the
firebox as follows: -
- With the door in a 45 degrees open position, allow the lower hinge
pin on the bottom left hand side of the firebox to pass into the hole
provided in the bottom of the door frame
- Lift the door until the top of the door frame passes over the top
hinge pin, then align the hole provided on the top face of the door
frame and lower it down over the top hinge pin
- Take the door handle from the plastic bag and screw it onto the door
spindle by turning it clockwise
11. Re-attach the fascia, centralise and level with the door and ensure the
air control is moving freely and secure all four screws.
12. Locate the air control knob which is included in the plastic bag and
carefully work it onto the air control lever.
The Metro is now fully installed and ready for operation but it is preferable
to defer lighting the fire for a day or two if possible to allow sealant used in
the flue pipe joints to air dry. Alternatively it is recommended you burn 2-3
sheets of loosely crumpled newspaper at a time, approx once every hour
over a 6-8 hour period.
