FlameKo Dilton 50" (127cm, Black)

Can I mount a TV above this fireplace?

Yes. The manufacturer confirms it's safe to mount a TV above the Dilton fireplace, with a minimum clearance of 200mm between the top of the unit and the bottom of the TV. This makes it a practical choice for media wall installations where you want both features combined in one space.

Does the flame effect work without the heater on?

Yes. The flame effect and heater function independently. You can run the LED flame display in any of the 9 colour options without switching on the heat, which is useful during summer months or when you just want ambient lighting without extra warmth in the room.

What are the heat settings and how much heat does it produce?

The fireplace has two heat settings: 900W and 1800W. It heats rooms from 16°C to 28°C. The 900W setting suits smaller rooms or top-up heating, while 1800W is better for larger spaces or colder days. Overheat protection automatically shuts the unit off if temperatures exceed safe levels.

How is the fireplace powered and does it come with batteries?

The fireplace runs on AC mains power with a 1.8 metre power cable that exits from the rear right side when facing the unit. The remote control requires 2 AAA batteries, which are included in the box, so it's ready to use straight away.

What mounting options are available?

Three options: freestanding, wall mounted, or recessed into a cavity such as a media wall. The box includes free standing feet if you choose that option, plus wall brackets for mounted installation. No additional ventilation is required for any of these setups.

Is the glass front safe for children and pets?

Yes. The front glass screen stays cool to the touch even during operation, reducing the risk of burns. This is a key safety feature for households with young children or pets who might come into contact with the unit while it's running.

What size room can this fireplace heat effectively?

Based on the 900W and 1800W heat settings, this suits small to medium sized rooms. Customer feedback notes it works well in conservatories and living rooms, with several reviewers commenting the heat output is sufficient for typical UK room sizes. It's not designed as a whole-house heating solution.

Does it come with an instruction manual?

An installation manual is listed as part of the included components. However, some customer reviews mention receiving the unit without one. If yours arrives without instructions, contacting the seller directly should resolve this, as installation brackets and feet are included regardless.
