Omni-burn FRTS42H (106cm, Black)

What are the exact dimensions and will it fit my media wall unit?

The fireplace measures 106.7cm wide, 50cm high and 17.64cm deep. It weighs 37kg and is specifically designed to fit standard media wall units and fire surrounds. The front opening size required is 106.7cm W x 50cm H x 17.64cm D. Most modern media wall furniture accommodates these dimensions, but always measure your space before ordering.

How realistic are the flame effects and can I customise them?

The flame effects are highly realistic with 13 different flame colours and 13 ember colours that can be mixed or used separately. You can choose between log burner or crystal fuel bed appearances, each with 6 brightness levels and 5 flame speed settings. The three-sided design creates depth and movement that closely mimics real fire behaviour.

What heating capacity does this fireplace provide?

The unit provides 1500W maximum heating power with two settings: 750W for gentle warmth and 1500W for rapid heating. This is sufficient to heat medium-sized living rooms or bedrooms effectively. The heater operates independently from the flame effects, so you can use flames without heat during warmer months.

What installation options are available and do I need professional fitting?

The fireplace can be wall mounted, recessed into a wall cavity, or inserted into existing fireplace openings. It requires a standard electrical connection and comes with mounting hardware. While basic DIY skills can handle wall mounting, recessed installation may require professional help for electrical connections and wall modifications.

How do the safety features work and is it safe for families?

Built-in overheat protection automatically shuts down the heater if internal temperatures become excessive. The programmable timer allows automatic shut-off after 1-9 hours. The unit produces no fumes or emissions, making it safe for indoor use. The cool-touch exterior and enclosed heating elements make it suitable for homes with children and pets.

Can I control all functions remotely and is it user-friendly?

Yes, the included remote control operates all functions including flame colours, fuel bed selection, brightness levels, heat settings and timer programming. There's also a user-friendly touch panel on the unit itself. The controls are intuitive enough for all family members to operate safely and easily.

What's the difference between the log burner and crystal fuel bed options?

The log burner option creates a traditional fireplace appearance with realistic-looking logs that glow and flicker. The crystal fuel bed provides a more contemporary look with reflective crystals that sparkle and dance with the flames. Both options work with all 13 flame colours and brightness settings, allowing you to match your interior design preferences.

How energy efficient is this fireplace compared to gas or solid fuel alternatives?

Electric fireplaces are 100% efficient as all electricity consumed converts to heat with no energy lost through chimneys or flues. The 750W setting uses minimal electricity while providing comfortable warmth. Running costs depend on your electricity tariff, but the timer function and precise heat control help minimise energy consumption compared to always-on heating systems.
