What Is Included and What You Will Need

  • Vital Essence ESN50 fireplace with glass ember media

  • You will need: a 15 A, 120V circuit (dedicated preferred) and either a wall-mount location or framing for a recessed install; the XLFTRIM kit for a partial 2x4 recess

Optional Accessories

Installation Notes

Dimplex requires a 15 A, 120V circuit; a dedicated circuit is preferred and becomes necessary if the breaker trips when the heater runs. Plan the framing so the power cable can reach the wiring entry at the bottom right of the firebox, keep at least 1/2 in of air space behind the unit, and frame the opening so wall materials do not bear on the top of the fireplace.

Electric fireplaces need no chimney, vent or gas line, which makes them one of the few fireplace options most New York City co-op and condo boards approve. Any hardwired connection is electrical work for a licensed electrician in NYC.
