FAQs

Can I use the flame effect without the heater?

Yes, the Flameko Verona Electric Fireplace Insert allows you to operate the flame effect independently, providing ambiance without heat. This is perfect for enjoying the visual appeal year-round.

What size opening do I need for this insert?

This fireplace insert is designed for quick and simple installation into standard 16" or 18" fireplace openings.

How do I change the flame color?

You can easily change between the 9 flame color options using the provided remote control. Look for a 'Flame Color' or similar button on the remote's LCD display.

Is the heater noisy?

No, the Flameko Verona Electric Fireplace Insert features `quiet heater operation`, ensuring it provides warmth without disturbing your peace and quiet.

Does it require special wiring?

No, the insert plugs into a standard household electrical outlet. No special wiring is typically required, making it easy to install as a replacement for existing units.

What safety features does it have?

The fireplace insert is equipped with `overheating protection` to prevent it from getting too hot, ensuring safe operation. It is also UKCA and CE certified.

How efficient is the heater?

The heater has two settings (1000W and 2000W) and is Eco Design 2018 Compliant, indicating it meets certain energy efficiency standards for heating appliances.

Troubleshooting

The fireplace insert will not turn on.

Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Ensure the wall switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position. If it still doesn't work, try plugging another appliance into the same outlet to confirm power availability.

The heater is not producing heat.

Verify that the heat function is activated on the remote control. Check the set temperature on the remote; if the room temperature is already above the set temperature, the heater will not activate. Ensure the air vents are not blocked. The `overheating protection` may have also been triggered; unplug the unit, wait 10-15 minutes, and then plug it back in.

The flame effect is not working, but the heater is.

Check the flame effect settings on the remote control. Ensure the brightness or color setting has not been set to zero or off. Make sure there are no obstructions in front of the flame display.

Remote control is not working.

Replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure there is no obstruction between the remote and the fireplace insert. Point the remote directly at the unit's receiver.
