Product Description

Flavel Proflame 1250 3-Sided Smart Electric Fire

Model: FPFL12RE

Create a stunning media wall with the Flavel Proflame 1250 Electric Fire. This wide built-in fire combines realistic LED flames, genuine split oak logs and a glowing ember bed to create an impressive centrepiece for a modern living space.

The fire comes with three glass sides as standard. However, the side blanking system also allows the installer to create a one-sided or two-sided display. Therefore, the Proflame 1250 can suit flat media walls, projecting chimney breasts and corner installations.

You can operate the fire manually, with the multifunctional remote handset or through the compatible mobile app. In addition, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility lets you activate supported functions with voice commands.

Made for Modern Media Walls

The Flavel Proflame 1250 has a wide, low-profile flame display that works particularly well beneath a wall-mounted television. Its built-in design also allows the installer to create a clean and modern finish within a suitable stud wall.

The generous 1250mm viewing width gives the fire a strong presence in larger rooms. However, its 600mm height and 300mm depth help keep the finished media wall balanced and practical.

Always position televisions, soundbars and other electronic equipment according to their manufacturers’ 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 1250 comes with three glass sides. Therefore, you can display the flame effect from the front and both ends for a panoramic appearance.

Alternatively, the side blanking system allows you to cover one or both side windows. This gives you three design choices:

• Three-sided: view the flames through the front and both ends
• Two-sided: view the flames through the front and either the left or right end
• One-sided: view the flames through the wide front window only

As a result, the same fire can work in a flat media wall, a projecting chimney breast or a corner-style installation.

Premium Natural Oak Logs

The Proflame 1250 uses genuine loose oak logs instead of simple moulded plastic fuel pieces. Each log displays natural bark, grain and knots, while added flame charring creates a realistic burning appearance.

The logs may differ slightly because Flavel makes the fuel bed from real wood. These natural differences help give each installation its own character.

A layout guide helps you place the individually referenced logs. Bark chippings then add texture around the illuminated ember bed.

Sixteen Preset Colour Settings

The Proflame 1250 provides 16 preset colour settings. Therefore, you can quickly change the display to suit your room, mood or time of day.

You can also customise the following parts of the display:

• Flame colours
• Oak-log lighting
• Ember-bed lighting
• Top lighting
• Brightness levels

Choose warm colours for a traditional fire effect. Alternatively, combine brighter tones for a more modern media-wall display.

Adjustable Flame Speed

The flame-speed control lets you change the movement of the LED flame effect. For example, select a slower speed for a calm and relaxing display or increase the speed for a livelier appearance.

You can also use the flame and fuel-bed lighting without switching on the heater. As a result, the Proflame 1250 remains an attractive room feature throughout the year.

0.9kW and 1.8kW Heat Settings

The discreet fan heater offers two output levels:

• Low heat: 0.9kW
• High heat: 1.8kW

The lower setting provides gentle background warmth, while the higher setting gives the room a stronger heat boost. However, the fire works best as a source of supplementary heating.

The room size, insulation, outdoor temperature and other heating sources will all affect the result.

Thermostatic Temperature Control

The thermostatic function helps maintain a comfortable room temperature. First, choose the required setting with the 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 1250 in three ways:

• Use the manual control panel on the fire
• Use the supplied remote handset
• Use the compatible app on a smartphone or tablet

The app works with supported iOS and Android devices through a compatible Wi-Fi connection. It provides access to the main flame, lighting, heat and timer settings.

Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant

The Flavel Proflame 1250 supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. After connecting the fire to Wi-Fi and linking the relevant smart-home service, you can use compatible voice commands to operate supported functions.

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

Flame Effect Without Heat

Flame-only mode allows you to enjoy the LED flames, oak logs and glowing ember bed without using the fan heater. Consequently, you can use the fire as a visual feature during spring, summer and milder evenings.

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

Timer Function

The remote handset includes a timer function, while the smart app provides additional control options. Therefore, you can manage the fire around the times when you normally 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 fire.

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 of the fire
• Install on a stable and level supporting structure
• Keep all air inlets and warm-air outlets clear
• Provide access to the electrical connection
• Do not install immediately below an electrical socket
• Do not use an extension lead
• Allow the fire to be removed for future servicing
• Follow all instructions supplied with the product

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

No Chimney, Flue or Gas Supply Required

The Proflame 1250 runs entirely on electricity. Therefore, it does not need a chimney, flue, gas connection or fuel storage area.

This gives you much more freedom when choosing its position. However, the fire still needs a correctly built enclosure, suitable ventilation and a safe electrical supply.

Safety Features

The fire includes an automatic thermal cut-out. If restricted 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 cools, the cut-out can reset automatically. If overheating continues, switch off the fire, disconnect the electrical supply and check that nothing blocks the air inlets or outlets.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Switch off the fire, disconnect it from 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 fire
• Keep the heater inlets and outlets clear of 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 1250 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.

Why Choose the Flavel Proflame 1250?

The Proflame 1250 combines a panoramic flame display with real oak logs, adjustable colours and smart controls. As a result, it creates the look of a premium media-wall fire without needing a chimney or gas supply.

Furthermore, the flexible glass configuration allows the same fire to work in several room layouts. The 1.8kW fan heater then provides useful extra warmth, while flame-only mode keeps the display available throughout the year.
