Rodalflame Electric Fireplace Insert (60"/152.4cm, Black)

What are the exact dimensions for recessed installation?

The insert dimensions are 140.6cm length x 41.6cm height x 14cm depth. You'll need a wall cavity slightly larger than these measurements to accommodate the unit. The overall external dimensions are 152.4cm x 44.8cm x 15cm including the frame that sits flush with your wall surface.

Can I use just the flame effects without the heating function?

Yes, the flame and LED effects operate completely independently from the heating elements. This allows you to enjoy the visual ambience year-round without generating heat, making it perfect for summer months or when you just want decorative lighting. This feature also reduces electricity consumption significantly.

How much electricity does this fireplace consume?

The unit has two heat settings: 750W (low) and 1500W (high). When using only the flame effects without heat, power consumption drops to approximately 50W. At maximum 1500W setting, running costs are roughly £0.34 per hour based on average UK electricity rates of 23p per kWh.

Is professional installation required for wall mounting?

No, the unit includes wall mounting brackets and can be installed by competent DIY enthusiasts. You'll need to locate wall studs capable of supporting 12.2kg and ensure access to a 120V electrical outlet within 1.8 metres (the power cable length). However, electrical connections should always be checked by a qualified electrician.

What's included with the crystal stones and logs?

The package includes both decorative logs and crystal glass stones along with a plastic tray for arrangement. You can use either logs alone for a traditional look, crystals for a modern appearance, or combine both for a unique effect. The LED fuel bed illuminates whichever media you choose with 13 different colour options.

How loud is the fan when heating is activated?

The internal fan operates at less than 38dB, which is quieter than a typical library or whispered conversation. Most users find the sound barely noticeable, making it suitable for bedrooms, studies, or quiet living spaces. The fan only operates when heating functions are active, remaining silent during flame-only operation.

Can this fireplace heat a large room effectively?

The unit produces 5,120 BTUs and effectively heats spaces up to 400 square feet (approximately 37 square metres). This covers most average-sized living rooms, bedrooms, or offices. The thermostat maintains your desired temperature between 17°C and 37°C automatically, cycling the heating elements as needed for consistent warmth.

What safety features protect against overheating?

Built-in overheat protection automatically shuts down all functions if internal temperatures exceed safe limits. The tempered glass front panel remains cool to touch even during extended heating operation. Additionally, the timer function prevents accidental overnight operation and the unit includes thermal cutoff switches as backup safety measures.
