Endeavour Fires Hawnby Recessed Electric Fire (Black, 68")

What are the exact installation dimensions required?

The fireplace requires a wall cavity measuring 173cm wide, 51.5cm high and 14.5cm deep. You must maintain 30cm clearance from the top glass panel to any objects above. The unit weighs 47.4kg so requires two people for installation. A 1.7m mains cable connects to standard 220/240V supply.

Can I mount a TV directly above this fireplace?

Yes, the front heat outlets specifically allow TV mounting above. The design prevents hot air from rising towards mounted televisions. Maintain the minimum 30cm clearance between the fireplace glass and any mounted objects. The quiet operation won't interfere with TV audio.

How does the 7 day programmable remote work?

The LCD remote control automatically adjusts heating based on room temperature and your weekly schedule. It switches between 1kW and 2kW settings as needed. Features include open window detection, adaptive start control and room temperature sensing. The system can pre-heat rooms before programmed start times.

What flame and lighting effects are available?

Choose from three flame effect patterns with five brightness levels each. The system includes 13 fuel bed and mood lighting colour combinations. Crystal stones and realistic logs create authentic fireplace appearance. All effects operate independently from heating and consume minimal electricity.

How much does it cost to run the flame effects?

Flame effects consume less than 90W per day when used five hours daily. This costs approximately £5 per year at current UK electricity rates. The LED system provides energy-efficient operation whilst delivering realistic fireplace ambience without heating costs.

Is this fireplace suitable for main heating?

The 2kW output provides supplementary heating for medium-sized rooms. The thermostatic control maintains consistent temperatures automatically. Ecodesign compliance ensures efficient energy usage. However, it works best as secondary heating alongside your main heating system rather than primary heat source.

What comes included with the fireplace?

The package includes the main fireplace unit, thermostatic 7 day programmable remote with LCD display, realistic crystal stone set, log set, installation brackets and comprehensive instruction manual. The 1.7m mains cable connects directly to your electrical supply without additional wiring requirements.

How quiet is the heating operation?

The flame effects operate completely silently with no fan noise. During heating cycles, the fan produces minimal noise that becomes unnoticeable with TV or background sound. Customer reviews consistently praise the quiet operation compared to other electric fireplaces. The front outlet design reduces air circulation noise.
