Flavel Proflame Arcadia Black & Gold Smart Electric Fire

Model: FPFLAGRE

Combine the traditional appearance of an open fireplace with modern smart controls using the Flavel Proflame Arcadia Black & Gold Electric Fire. Its substantial cast-iron fascia, full-depth log bed and realistic LED flames create an impressive focal point for both classic and modern rooms.

The open-fronted design gives the flame display a natural sense of depth. Meanwhile, woodland-effect logs and a glowing underbed recreate the warm appearance of a traditional fire without needing a chimney, gas supply or solid fuel.

The outer fascia dimensions describe the visible part of the installed fire. However, the fire engine and fuel bed extend behind and in front of the fascia. Therefore, always check the manufacturer’s dimensional drawing before preparing the fireplace opening.

Classic Cast-Iron Design

The Arcadia features a substantial cast-iron fascia with a traditional arched design. Its black finish frames the fire, while the gold detailing adds warmth and character.

As a result, the Arcadia works particularly well with traditional fireplace surrounds, timber mantels and classic living-room interiors. However, its smart controls and LED effects also make it suitable for more modern homes.

Full-Depth Woodland Log Bed

The deep fuel bed uses detailed woodland-effect logs to recreate the look of a traditional open fire. In addition, the glowing underbed adds depth and warmth behind the logs.

The open-fronted design allows an uninterrupted view of the flame and fuel-bed effects. Consequently, the Arcadia provides a more traditional appearance than a fully glazed electric fire.

Natural and Blue Dual-Colour Flames

Choose a natural flame colour for a warm and familiar fire effect. Alternatively, add blue flares to create a more modern dual-colour display.

The dual-flame system lets you adjust the atmosphere without changing the room or fireplace. Therefore, the Arcadia can suit a relaxed evening as well as a more contemporary setting.

Adjustable Flame Speed

The flame-speed control lets you change how quickly the flame effect moves. Choose a slow and smooth setting for a calm appearance or increase the speed for a more lively display.

You can also adjust the brightness to suit the room lighting. For example, a brighter display may work well during the day, while a softer setting can create a relaxing effect in the evening.

0.8kW and 1.6kW Heat Settings

The Arcadia provides two levels of supplementary room heating:

• Low heat: 0.8kW
• High heat: 1.6kW

The lower setting provides gentle background warmth. Meanwhile, the 1.6kW setting offers a stronger heat boost when the room feels cold.

The result will depend on the room size, insulation, outdoor temperature and other heat sources. Therefore, do not use the fire as the only heat source unless a qualified person confirms that it can meet the room’s heat-loss requirements.

Thermostatic Temperature Control

The thermostatic control helps maintain a comfortable room temperature. First, choose the desired temperature with the handset or smart app. The fire can then manage the heater according to the room conditions.

This reduces the need to turn the heater on and off manually. It can also prevent the room from becoming unnecessarily warm.

Flame Effect Without Heat

The economy flame-only setting lets you enjoy the flames, glowing underbed and woodland log display without using the heater.

As a result, the Arcadia remains an attractive fireplace feature during spring, summer and mild evenings. The LED effects also use much less electricity than the heating element.

Remote, App and Manual Control

You can operate the Flavel Proflame Arcadia in three ways:

• Use the manual controls on the fire
• Use the supplied multifunctional remote handset
• Use the compatible app on a smartphone or tablet

The app supports compatible iOS and Android devices through Wi-Fi. It provides access to supported flame, heat, brightness and timer functions.

Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

The Proflame Arcadia supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. After connecting the fire to a compatible Wi-Fi network and linking the relevant smart-home service, you can use voice commands to operate supported functions.

The available commands may depend on the app version, smart-home platform and account settings. Therefore, follow Flavel’s latest setup instructions.

Timer Function

The timer function provides greater control over when the fire operates. This can help you match the fire’s use to the times when you normally relax in the room.

Always use the timer functions built into the fire, remote or approved app. Do not connect the appliance to an unapproved external timer or automatic switching device.

70mm Inset Installation

The Arcadia has a 70mm inset rebate. Therefore, it can fit into many suitable fireplace openings without needing the complete depth of the fire engine behind the surround.

The full-depth fuel bed extends forwards from the fireplace opening. This arrangement helps create the deep and open appearance of a traditional fire.

An optional spacer frame can reduce the required inset depth further and may also improve access to the manual controls. Check the spacer dimensions and compatibility before ordering.

Suitable Fireplace Openings

The fire suits many compatible standard inset-fire openings and fireplace surrounds. However, dimensions can vary between surrounds, back panels and existing chimney openings.

Before ordering:

• Measure the width and height of the opening
• Check the available inset depth
• Check that the hearth and back panel are level
• Allow for the projecting fuel bed
• Provide access to the electrical connection
• Confirm that the fascia covers the opening
• Check whether an optional spacer frame is required

No Chimney or Flue Required

The Arcadia runs entirely on electricity. Therefore, it does not need a working chimney, flue, gas connection or stored fuel.

It can fit into a suitable existing fireplace or a purpose-made enclosure. However, the opening must provide adequate support, ventilation and electrical access.

Installation Guidance

• Check all dimensions before preparing the opening
• Place the fire on a firm, stable and level base
• Follow Flavel’s ventilation and clearance instructions
• Keep the air inlets and warm-air outlets clear
• Provide safe access to the plug or fused connection
• Do not install immediately below an electrical socket
• Do not use an extension lead
• Keep curtains and combustible materials away from the heater
• Allow access for future inspection and servicing
• Follow the Flavel Proflame installation manual

A competent person should install the fire. In addition, a qualified electrician should complete any new socket, fused spur or alteration to fixed wiring.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Switch off the fire, disconnect the electrical supply and allow it to cool before cleaning.

• Remove light dust with a soft, dry cloth
• Clean the fascia with a suitable non-abrasive cloth
• Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners
• Keep the heater inlet and outlet free from dust
• Do not allow water to enter the appliance

The cast-iron fascia may have a textured surface, so clean it gently. If the fire develops an electrical fault, stop using it and contact Flavel or a suitably qualified repair technician.

Flavel Three-Year Warranty

Flavel covers the Proflame Arcadia with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty against faulty materials or workmanship.

The UK warranty normally includes:

• First 12 months: parts and labour
• Following 24 months: parts only

Warranty terms and exclusions apply. Therefore, keep your original invoice and follow the installation and operating instructions.
