Installation Notes
Frame a 35-1/2 x 31-1/4 in. opening, 11 in. deep, keep 2 in. from the glass to a mantel or ceiling, and route power to the right side of the recess before setting the unit; two people should lift it. The appliance ships wired for 120V; 240V requires hardwiring. Keep combustibles 36 in. from the front. Electric fireplaces need no gas line or venting, which makes them one of the simplest fireplace options for New York City apartments and co-ops, subject to building and board approval for any electrical work. Book a design consultation to plan the wall, power and finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 240V worth it?
Hardwired at 240V the heater runs at 3,000 W instead of 1,500 W, so it can heat a larger room.
Can it go into my existing fireplace?
Yes, if the opening meets the 35-1/2 x 31-1/4 x 11 in. framing size; the trim kit can cover a larger face.
What is the difference between this listing and the Element 36 base listing?
Same NEFB36H-BS-2 fireplace; this listing adds the trim kit option.
