Setup & Installation

The Electactic electric fireplace offers versatile installation options: it can be fully recessed into a wall or surface-mounted. Choose the method that best suits your space and aesthetic preferences.

Installation Methods:

  1. Recessed Installation: Requires a cutout in the wall. Ensure the opening dimensions are appropriate for the fireplace (approx. 44.9"-49.2" W x 16.9"-17.7" H x 3.1"-3.5" D). This method provides a flush, built-in look.
  2. Wall Mounted Installation: The fireplace can be directly mounted onto a wall surface. The slim design (3.86" depth) ensures it does not protrude excessively.

General Installation Steps:

  1. Remove the glass frame from the unit.
  2. Remove the mounting bracket from the fireplace.
  3. Settle the holes for screws on the wall.
  4. Drill and install the wall anchors.
  5. Place the pads and fix the fireplace securely.
  6. Place the decorative crystals inside the fireplace.
  7. Hang the glass frame back onto the unit.
