Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the electric fireplace insert included with the mantel surround?

No, the electric fireplace insert is NOT included and must be purchased separately. This product is solely the mantel surround frame.

What size electric fireplace insert does this mantel accommodate?

This mantel surround is specifically designed to fit standard 16-inch electric fireplace inserts, such as the FlameKo Verona 16” series.

Does this mantel require a wall recess for installation?

No, this mantel is designed to sit flat against a wall, meaning no recess is required, simplifying installation.

What material is the Flameko Mantel Surround made from?

The mantel surround is constructed from durable MDF (Medium-Density Fibreboard).

How do I clean the mantel?

To clean, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, and wipe up any spills immediately to protect the MDF finish.

Are assembly instructions included?

Yes, easy-to-follow assembly instructions are included with the product for straightforward home assembly.

Can I place heavy items on the mantelpiece?

The mantelpiece is sturdy enough for typical decorative items. However, avoid placing excessively heavy objects to prevent potential damage or instability.

Troubleshooting

Mantel feels wobbly after assembly.

Double-check all screws, cam locks, and dowels are securely tightened according to the assembly instructions. Ensure the mantel is placed on a completely flat and level surface. If the floor is uneven, consider using small shims under the base for stability.

Scratches or minor damage to the finish.

For small scratches, a furniture touch-up pen or marker matching the Dark Bronx Oak or white finish can be used. For deeper damage, consider using a wood filler suitable for MDF, sanding gently, and then repainting or staining the affected area carefully.

Electric fireplace insert does not fit properly.

Verify that your electric fireplace insert is indeed a standard 16-inch model. Measure both the insert and the mantel's opening dimensions to confirm compatibility. Ensure the insert is correctly aligned and not obstructed by internal assembly components. If it's a FlameKo Verona 16” insert, it should fit perfectly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out on a clean, soft surface to prevent scratches.
  2. Follow Instructions: Refer to the 'Easy to follow assembly instructions' provided with your mantel surround. It is crucial to follow these steps meticulously.

  4. Position: Once assembled, carefully position the mantel surround against your desired wall. It is designed to sit flat against a wall with no recess required.
  5. Insert Fireplace: Slide your compatible 16-inch electric fireplace insert (sold separately) into the opening of the mantel surround.

Compatibility

This mantel surround is specifically designed for 16-inch electric fireplace inserts. It is compatible with the FlameKo Verona 16” fireplace insert and other similarly sized electric inserts. Please verify the dimensions of your chosen insert to ensure a perfect fit.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: To clean the MDF surface, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the finish.
  • Dusting: Regularly dust the mantel with a dry, soft cloth or a feather duster.
  • Protection: While the mantel is designed for decoration, avoid placing excessively heavy objects or items with sharp edges directly on the surface to prevent dents or scratches.
  • Moisture: As it is made of MDF, protect the mantel from spills and high humidity to prevent swelling or warping. Wipe any spills immediately.
