Can I mount my TV above the fireplace?
1 Answer
If the question is pertaining to the wall-mounted fireplace in question, this is likely not the best idea unless you were to install a noncombustible mantel shelf like this Pearl Mantels Zachary to act as a heat barrier between the fireplace and television.Â

November 8, 2019
My remote will not turn my fireplace on. Batteries were switched out in remote and transmitter, and the fireplace turns on manually. However, after I put the switch on remote position the fireplace doesn't come on even though the screen lights up after I try to turn it on with the remote. Any ideas?
1 Answer
Sadly, it appears your transmitter has gone bad. If the receiver still works as described and new batteries are in the transmitter and receiver, we recommend trying to re-sync the receiver and remote. If this does not work, then it appears you need a replacement remote. Unfortunately, the remote control is only warrantied for one year, so a replacement would need be purchased. We are sorry for this inconvenience and frustration.

Is it safe to hang a flat screen television over this fireplace?
1 Answer
Per the manufacturer, it is not recommended to put any electronic device over this unit. Since it is a vent-free fireplace, most of the heat comes out straight up from the opening. Most television manufacturers will void the warranty if it is installed above a heat source as well.

Is electricity required to run the fireplace? Or just a gas hook-up?
1 Answer
This unit does indeed require the use of a 110V electrical outlet, in conjunction with the provided transformer for operation.
The unit is provided with a battery backup that will allow the unit to operate in the event of a power outage, but the backup is not meant to be utilized on it's own, as the batteries drain quickly and would need to be replaced often.
