• Overall depth: 300mm
• Viewing height: approximately 360mm

• Viewing depth: approximately 175mm

Always check the manufacturer’s dimensional drawing before building the media wall or fireplace enclosure. In addition, allow enough space for ventilation, electrical access and future servicing.

An Extra-Wide Media-Wall Centrepiece

The Flavel Proflame 1600 offers the widest display in this range. Its 1600mm viewing area creates a strong focal point across a large media wall, feature wall or purpose-built chimney breast.

The low and wide format works particularly well below a large television. Meanwhile, the 600mm height and 300mm depth help create a balanced finished design.

However, always follow the television manufacturer’s clearance instructions. The installation may need a suitable shelf, recess or heat-management detail between the fire and television.

One, Two or Three-Sided Installation

The Proflame 1600 comes with three glass sides. Therefore, you can view the fire through the front and both ends for a panoramic effect.

Alternatively, the side blanking system lets you cover one or both end windows. This provides three installation choices:

• Three-sided: the front and both ends remain visible
• Two-sided: the front and either the left or right end remain visible
• One-sided: only the extra-wide front window remains visible

As a result, the same fire can suit several media-wall styles and room layouts.

Premium Natural Oak Logs

The fuel bed features genuine loose oak logs with natural bark, grain and knots. Flavel also adds a charred effect to help recreate the appearance of burning wood.

Because Flavel uses real wood, the logs may vary slightly in colour, shape and texture. These natural differences help make each finished fuel bed unique.

The supplied layout guide shows where to place the individually referenced logs. Bark chippings then complete the display and add extra texture around the illuminated ember bed.

Sixteen Preset and Custom Colour Settings

The Proflame 1600 provides 16 preset colour settings. Therefore, you can change the appearance of the fire to suit the room, occasion or time of day.

You can also customise the colours and brightness of several display areas:

• Flame effect
• Oak-log lighting
• Ember-bed lighting
• Top lighting

Choose warm colours for a traditional fire appearance. Alternatively, select more vibrant shades to create a modern media-wall feature.

Adjustable Flame Speed

The adjustable flame-speed control lets you alter the movement of the LED flame effect. Choose a slow and smooth setting for a relaxing evening or increase the speed for a livelier display.

You can also enjoy the flame and fuel-bed lighting without using the heater. Consequently, the Proflame 1600 remains an attractive focal point throughout the year.

0.9kW and 1.8kW Heat Settings

The discreet fan heater provides two heat settings:

• Low heat: 0.9kW
• High heat: 1.8kW

Use the lower setting for gentle background warmth or select 1.8kW when the room needs a stronger heat boost.

The Proflame 1600 works best as a supplementary heater. Room size, insulation, outdoor temperature and other heat sources will affect its performance.

Thermostatic Temperature Control

The thermostatic function helps maintain a comfortable room temperature. First, choose the required setting with the remote handset or app. The fire can then control the heater according to the room conditions.

This reduces the need to switch the heater on and off manually. However, the fire should not replace a correctly designed whole-home heating system unless a qualified person confirms that it can meet the room’s heat-loss requirements.

Remote, App and Manual Control

You can control the Proflame 1600 in three ways:

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

The app supports compatible iOS and Android devices through a suitable Wi-Fi connection. It provides access to the main flame, colour, brightness, heat and timer functions.

Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

The Flavel Proflame 1600 supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Once you connect the fire to Wi-Fi and link the relevant smart-home service, you can use compatible voice commands to operate supported functions.

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

Flame Effect Without Heat

The flame-only setting lets you enjoy the LED flames, oak logs and glowing fuel bed without using the fan heater. As a result, you can use the display during warmer months as well as throughout winter.

The LED effects use much less electricity than the heating element. However, actual running costs will depend on your electricity tariff, selected settings and length of use.

Timer Function

The controls include a timer function, while the smart app provides additional operating options. Therefore, you can manage the fire around the times when you usually use the room.

Do not connect the fire to an external timer, smart plug or another device that automatically switches its mains supply. Always use the controls designed and approved for the appliance.

Installation Requirements

• Designed for installation within a suitable stud wall
• Recommended 10mm air gap between the fire and surrounding wall
• Minimum 50mm clearance from the front to non-combustible materials
• Ask Flavel to confirm clearances from combustible materials
• Keep flammable materials at least 1 metre from the front
• Install on a strong, stable and level supporting structure
• Keep all air inlets and warm-air outlets clear
• Provide access to the plug or fused connection
• Do not install the fire immediately below an electrical socket
• Do not use an extension lead
• Allow the fire to be removed for future servicing
• Follow the Flavel installation manual

A qualified and competent person should install the fire. If you connect it directly to the mains supply, use a suitable switched fused spur with a 13-amp fuse.

The supply must handle the 1.8kW load, and the fire must be earthed. A qualified electrician should complete all fixed electrical work.

No Chimney, Flue or Gas Supply Required

The Proflame 1600 runs entirely on electricity. Therefore, it does not need a chimney, flue, gas supply or fuel storage.

This provides much more freedom when choosing its position. However, the fire still needs a suitable electrical connection, secure enclosure and correct ventilation.

Automatic Thermal Safety Cut-Out

The fire includes an automatic thermal cut-out. If blocked airflow causes the heater to become too hot, the heating element will switch off while the fan continues to cool the appliance.

Once the fire has cooled, the cut-out can reset automatically. If overheating continues, switch off the fire, disconnect the power and check that nothing blocks the heater inlets or outlets.

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 outer surfaces with a soft, slightly damp cloth
• Use suitable household glass cleaner on the fire glass
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh detergents
• Do not allow water to enter the appliance
• Keep the heater inlets and outlets free from dust

Do not attempt to repair an electrical fault yourself. Instead, contact Flavel or a suitably qualified repair technician.

Flavel Three-Year Warranty

Flavel covers the Proflame 1600 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 the original invoice and follow the installation and operating instructions.
