Can I mount a TV above this electric fireplace?

Yes, you can safely mount a TV above the Flameko Dilton fireplace. Maintain a minimum clearance of 200mm between the top of the fireplace and your TV. The vents are positioned on the front left and right sides, directing heat away from any mounted electronics. This design prevents heat damage to your television while creating an attractive entertainment wall setup.

What are the different installation options available?

The fireplace offers three installation methods: freestanding on furniture or the floor using included feet, wall-mounted using the supplied brackets, or recessed into a custom-built cavity. The slim 12cm depth makes it suitable for most wall mounting situations. All necessary hardware is included and the 1.8-metre power cable exits from the rear right side when facing the unit.

How do the flame colour options work?

The fireplace features nine different flame colour settings controlled via the remote or digital display. Options include traditional orange flames plus modern colours like blue, purple and green. You can also switch between crystal and log fuel bed effects. The 100% LED lighting system creates realistic dancing flames that operate independently from the heating function, allowing year-round use for ambience.

What heat settings are available and how effective is the heating?

Two heat settings are available: 900W for gentle warmth and 1800W for full room heating. The built-in thermostat maintains temperatures between 16°C and 28°C automatically. The heater operates quietly and includes overheat protection with automatic shut-off. Customer feedback indicates effective room heating, with the unit being particularly popular for conservatories and living rooms.

Is the fireplace safe for homes with children?

Yes, safety features include cool-touch front glass that remains safe to touch during operation, protecting children and pets from burns.

Can I use the flame effects without the heater?

Yes, the flame effects operate completely independently from the heating function. This allows you to enjoy the ambience and visual appeal during warmer months without adding heat to your room. The LED lighting system consumes minimal electricity when used without heating, making it an economical way to create atmosphere year-round.

How quiet is the operation when heating?

The fireplace operates quietly during heating mode, though some users report minimal fan noise when the blower starts. Customer reviews indicate that most find the noise level acceptable and much quieter than traditional heating methods. Any initial clicking sounds typically settle after the first few uses as components adjust to regular operation.
