Product Information

Full details

The Dimplex Westbourne Optimyst Electric Stove is designed for homeowners seeking the aesthetic appeal of a traditional wood-burning stove without the associated maintenance or installation requirements. It is ideal for smaller living areas, inglenooks, or existing hearths, providing an authentic 3D flame and smoke effect through patented water vapour technology. While it delivers impressive visual realism and adjustable heat, users should note that the water reservoir requires periodic refilling to maintain the smoke effect for its 6-8 hour capacity.

Does the stove require a chimney?

No, the Dimplex Westbourne is an electric unit and does not require a chimney, flue, or any specialized venting.

How often do I need to refill the water tank?

Can I use the flame effect without the heater?

Yes, the flame and smoke effect can be operated independently of the heating function for year-round ambiance.

Is the flame safe for children and pets?

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
