Product Features
Dual Voltage Heating Flexibility
The SF-BI operates on either 120V or 240V power, providing 5,000 BTUs or 10,000 BTUs of supplemental heat, respectively. This flexibility allows the fireplace to serve as a gentle supplemental warmth or a more substantial heat source, depending on the electrical configuration chosen during installation.
Realistic Glowing Timber Logs
The included one-piece glowing timber log set replicates the look of a natural wood fire. The logs produce a warm, authentic glow that enhances the flame presentation and creates a convincing hearth experience without the mess or maintenance of real wood.
4 Adjustable Flame Colors
Choose from four distinct flame color settings to match any room mood or décor. Whether you prefer traditional orange and yellow tones or a more contemporary blue flame look, the SimpliFire built-in lets you customize the ambiance to suit your style.
Lighted Ember Bed
A glowing ember bed beneath the log set adds depth and realism to the flame presentation. The ember bed illuminates independently, enhancing the visual warmth even at lower flame settings.
Convenient Multi-Function Remote
The included multi-function remote control lets you adjust flame settings, heat output, and ember bed effects from across the room. On-unit push buttons provide additional manual control.
Simple, No-Vent Installation
Because this is an electric fireplace, there is no need for a chimney, gas line, or venting of any kind. The SimpliFire built-in installs into a standard framed opening, making it suitable for virtually any room in your home. No additional items are required to complete the installation.
