Enjoy the fireplace's beauty with or without heat in any season or climate. The Sideline Elite Electric Fireplace adds a cozy feel with convenient heat and flame controls. The two heat settings warm up to 400 square feet, though it's not designed as a primary heat source.

Multiple Flame Colors, Customizable Media

Personalize your fireplace with 60 flame and base color combinations and various fireplace hearth media options. Choose between a traditional log set or a modern combination of crystals and driftwood.

Easy Installation and Use

The slim Sideline Elite can be recessed into the wall or wall-mounted with a depth of 5 1/2 inches. It's a hassle-free addition to any room, and installation instructions are provided. The fireplace can be plugged into a standard outlet or hardwired by a professional.

Recommended Placement

To ensure safety, place the Sideline Elite at least 8 inches below the ceiling or a mounted flat-screen TV to provide clearance from the heater unit.
