Full details
This guide is for anyone looking to add a warm and inviting ambiance to their living space, particularly those in flats or apartments with limited room.

FAQs
Is this electric fire safe to leave unattended?
The Flamme electric fire is equipped with a thermal cutout for overheating protection, enhancing its safety. However, like any electrical appliance, it is always recommended to supervise its operation and unplug it when leaving your home or going to sleep.
How much electricity does it consume?
The unit operates at either 1000W or 2000W when the heater is in use. The flame effect alone consumes minimal power. The actual electricity consumption depends on the selected heat setting and how long it is used.
Can I use this outdoors?
This electric fire is designed for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements like rain or moisture can damage the unit and pose a safety hazard.
Does it require any special installation?
No, the Flamme 23" Portable Basket Electric Fire requires no special installation. Simply place it on a stable surface, plug it into a standard electrical outlet, and it's ready to use. No chimney or venting is required.
Can I use the flame effect without the heat?
Yes, you can operate the flame effect independently of the heating function, allowing you to enjoy the ambiance year-round without adding warmth to the room.
What is the recommended room size for this heater?
While effective in various spaces, the 2000W heater is generally most efficient for supplemental heating in small to medium-sized rooms, typically up to 20-25 square meters, depending on insulation and external temperatures.
How do I clean the flame effect screen or interior?
For cleaning the exterior and any visible parts, ensure the unit is unplugged and cool. Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not attempt to clean the interior components or the 3D flame projection system yourself, as this could cause damage or void the warranty. Consult the manual for specific cleaning guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Electric fire does not turn on.
Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working wall outlet. Ensure the main power switch on the unit is turned to the 'ON' position. Verify that the thermal cutout has not activated due to overheating; unplug the unit and allow it to cool down for at least 15-20 minutes before plugging it back in.
Flame effect is not working, but heater is on.
Check the remote control batteries and replace them if necessary. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the flame projection or light source. Try cycling through the flame effect settings using the remote or controls on the unit.
Heater is not producing heat, but flame effect is working.
Ensure the heater function is activated via the remote or unit controls and that a wattage setting (1000W or 2000W) is selected. Check if the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature. Verify that the air vents are not obstructed, which could trigger the thermal cutout.
Cracking sound effects are not working.
Ensure the sound effect function is enabled via the remote control. Check that the volume is not set to minimum. If still not working, try turning the unit off and on again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Unpack: Carefully remove the electric fire from its packaging. Retain all packaging materials for future transport or returns.
Placement: Choose a stable, flat surface near a standard wall outlet. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit as specified in the user manual for proper ventilation (Info needed: [Specific clearance requirements]).
Power Connection: Plug the electric fire into a grounded 13-amp (or suitable for 2000W appliance) wall outlet. Avoid using extension cords if possible; if necessary, ensure it is rated for the appliance's wattage.
Remote Batteries: Insert batteries into the multifunction remote control.
Optional Back Screen: If you wish to project the flame effect onto your mantel or wall instead of the included screen, gently remove the screen as per the user manual.
Compatibility
Electrical: Compatible with standard electrical outlets in regions adhering to CE/UKCA standards (e.g., UK, EU). Requires a 220-240V, 50Hz supply.
Space: Its compact design makes it suitable for various room sizes, especially flats and apartments with minimal space.
Furnishings: Easily integrates with existing home decor and can be placed within a non-combustible fire surround.
Care
Cleaning: Ensure the unit is unplugged and cool before cleaning. Wipe the exterior with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or polishes.
Vents: Periodically check and clean the air intake and outlet vents to ensure unobstructed airflow. A soft brush or vacuum cleaner can be used to remove dust.
Storage: If storing for an extended period, unplug the unit, ensure it is clean and dry, and store it in its original packaging in a cool, dry place.
Maintenance: There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Any servicing should be performed by qualified personnel.
