FAQs

Can I use the flame effect without the heat?

Yes, the fireplace allows you to run the visual flame effect independently of the heating function.

Does this fireplace require professional installation?

No, it is a freestanding unit that does not require professional installation, though it is heavy and may require two people to position correctly.

What is the maximum output of the heater?

The heater features two settings designed for supplemental heating in standard-sized rooms.

Is the marble surround made of real stone?

No, the unit features a high-quality, realistic marble-effect finish, which provides the look of stone while being lighter and easier to maintain.

Can I leave the fireplace on overnight using the timer?

While the timer allows for scheduled shut-off, it is generally recommended not to leave electric heaters running unattended while you are asleep.

Where should I position the fireplace?

Place it on a level floor at least one meter away from flammable materials such as curtains, cushions, or rugs.

Troubleshooting

The flame effect is working but the heater is not blowing warm air.

Check that the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature or toggle the heat setting button on the remote.

The remote control is unresponsive.

Ensure the batteries are fresh and that there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the unit's infrared sensor.

The unit shut off automatically.

The fireplace may have triggered its safety thermal cut-out; ensure the air intake and output vents are not blocked, wait 15 minutes, then restart.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated marble-effect design elevates room aesthetics
  • Easy to operate using the included LCD remote
  • Adjustable heat settings provide flexible comfort
  • Built-in timer improves energy efficiency
  • Realistic flame effect mimics a traditional hearth

  • Requires significant floor space for installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal setup, place the fireplace on a level, stable surface away from combustible materials like curtains or loose fabrics. Ensure the unit is plugged directly into a wall socket; avoid using extension cords, as high-wattage heaters may cause overheating in low-grade leads. Compatibility is standard for most UK residential settings. To care for the unit, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to dust the marble-effect surround regularly to maintain the finish. If the surface requires cleaning, use only a damp cloth with mild soap, ensuring that no liquid enters the vents or electrical components. Always switch the unit off and let it cool completely before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
