Flamme Castello Slim Frame (60", Black)

Can I install this fireplace below my television safely?

Yes, the Castello Slim Frame is specifically designed for media wall installation below TVs. The unit generates minimal upward heat and includes proper ventilation systems. The slim profile and controlled heat output make it safe for electronics mounted above. Always follow the manufacturer's clearance guidelines and ensure adequate ventilation space.

How does the APP control work and what features does it include?

The smartphone app connects via your home WiFi network and provides complete control over all fireplace functions. You can adjust flame colours, select fuel bed illumination, control heating temperature and set timer schedules. The app works from anywhere in your home and allows you to create custom lighting scenes for different occasions.

What are the different fuel bed options and how do they look?

Three fuel bed styles are included: realistic logs for a traditional appearance, smooth pebbles for a contemporary look and sparkling crystals for a modern aesthetic. Each fuel bed can be illuminated in eight different colours independently from the flame effect. You can easily swap between styles to match your décor or seasonal preferences.

Does the heater work independently from the flame effects?

Yes, the 1500W heater operates completely independently from the visual flame and fuel bed lighting effects. This means you can enjoy the ambiance during warm weather without heating, or use the heater without visual effects if preferred. This dual operation maximises energy efficiency and provides year-round usability.

What installation requirements are needed for this fireplace?

The unit requires a standard electrical outlet and secure wall mounting using the included hardware. The slim aluminium trim covers gaps between the fireplace and wall for a professional built-in appearance. Wall studs or appropriate wall anchors are essential due to the unit's size and weight. Professional installation is recommended for media wall applications.

How much electricity does this fireplace consume?

The heating function uses 1500W when operating at full capacity, similar to a standard electric heater. The LED flame effects and fuel bed lighting consume minimal electricity, typically under 50W combined. Running only the visual effects costs approximately 1-2 pence per hour, while full heating costs around 45-50 pence per hour based on current UK electricity rates.

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit my space?

The fireplace measures 152.4cm wide, 48cm high and 14.7cm deep. These compact dimensions make it suitable for most living rooms, bedrooms or media walls. The slim depth is particularly beneficial for smaller rooms where traditional fireplaces would protrude too far. Always measure your intended installation space carefully before purchasing.

Can I use just the flame effects without any heat output?

Absolutely, the flame effects and fuel bed lighting operate independently from the heating element. This allows you to enjoy the ambiance and visual appeal throughout the year without generating heat. The LED technology produces realistic flame movements and colours while consuming minimal electricity, making it perfect for summer use or purely decorative purposes.
