You can install the Forte in an existing fireplace opening. It stays cool to the touch on the sides & back and is ventless. You can use the Forte with just the flame and no heat. 5. The heater will help to warm up a cool room but won’t replace a primary heat source.
• OPERATION: The Forte's heater will take the edge off a cool room or basement, and it can be run with no heat (just flames) in warmer climates. The Forte comes with a 6-foot power cord for a 110-120V outlet. It is also hard-wire ready for in-wall install. The unit draws a max of 12 amps, so the fireplace can be used on a 15-amp circuit. A 20-amp circuit may be necessary, depending on the use of other electronics on that same electric circuit.
• FEATURES: The Forte features an unmatched flame. Friends will be nervous to touch realistic flame behind the glass. The Forte includes faux-fire logs & crystals to create an authentic feel, as well as an IR remote controlling flame color & intensity, the heater and shut-off timer. Front facing heater vents allow you to position the Forte just 8” under a flat screen TV. The Forte can be hardwired or plugged in to your electric source.

Creating a cozy atmosphere of a traditional fireplace, this electronic fireplace has realistic flames with a real fire look.
