Full details

The Valine Fires 16X HD+ is designed for homeowners looking to modernize an existing 16-inch fireplace opening without the mess of wood or gas. It offers an efficient, adjustable heating solution paired with highly customizable LED flame aesthetics, making it an excellent choice for creating a cozy atmosphere year-round.

FAQs

Does the fireplace require a chimney?

No, this is an electric insert and does not require any venting or a chimney.

Can I run the flames without the heat?

Yes, you can operate the flame and light effects independently of the heating element.

What is the maximum power usage?

The fireplace has a maximum heat output of 1600W.

Is the installation difficult?

It is designed for standard fireplace openings and generally involves sliding the unit into place and plugging it into a standard outlet.

Can I change the colors of the flame?

Yes, the 16X HD+ includes adjustable color settings to suit your preference.

Troubleshooting

Flame effect is on but no heat is being generated

Check the temperature setting; if the room is already warmer than the set temperature, the heater will not activate. Try increasing the set temperature on the control panel.

Remote control is unresponsive

Check that the batteries are fresh and inserted with the correct polarity. Ensure there is a clear line of sight between the remote and the infrared receiver on the front panel.

Unit shuts off unexpectedly

Verify if the open window detection function was triggered or if the weekly timer has reached its cut-off point. Also, ensure the unit is not blocked by furniture which could trigger an overheat safety shut-off.

  • Includes convenient remote control for easy operation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installing, ensure your 16-inch fireplace opening is clean and free of debris. Slide the unit carefully into the cavity. Ensure the power cord reaches an accessible wall socket without being pinched. If installing in a mantel, double-check that the surround allows for the ventilation of the 16.6cm depth.

Compatibility: This model is built specifically for standard 16-inch fireplace openings. Always verify your opening dimensions before purchase.

Care: Maintain the unit by dusting the front glass panel regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Ensure the air intake and outlet vents remain clear of dust or pet hair to prevent the unit from overheating. If the unit will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries from the remote control.
