Installation Notes

Frame an opening 50-3/4 in. W x 26-1/4 in. H x 13 in. D; the Astound is a recess or build-in only appliance. A qualified electrician must hard-wire it to a dedicated 15 A grounded circuit at 120V, or wire it for 240V to reach 3,000 W. 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 the electrical work.

Documentation

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it plug in?

No. Napoleon requires hard-wiring to a dedicated 15 A grounded circuit. Wiring it for 240V doubles the heater to 3,000 W.

How deep a wall do I need?

The fireplace is 12-5/16 in. deep and frames into a 13 in. deep opening.

Can I change the media?

Yes. The front glass flips down so you can swap in Birch logs, Mineral Rock, glass beads or crystals, or seasonal decor.

What are ECO and BOOST modes?

ECO mode runs the heater at half power to save energy, and BOOST mode raises heat output and blower speed for colder days.
