Dimplex Clement Optiflame 2kW electric fire

This electric fire from Dimplex combines a realistic LED log fuel bed with two heat settings to add atmosphere and top-up warmth to living rooms or bedrooms. The compact design allows either a 9 cm recessed install or use with the supplied spacer frame as a freestanding unit, and the flame-only LED mode keeps running costs low according to the manufacturer. 🔥

Key Points

The Clement Optiflame offers flexible installation, working as an inset fire for existing surrounds or as a freestanding model when using the spacer kit. The one-piece black frame suits 16" or 18" openings and presents a classic, low-profile look that fits flat to the wall when freestanding. The flame effect operates independently of the heater, which means you can enjoy the ambience without using electricity for heat. 🌙

Benefits

The LED flame effect uses low wattage lighting, which the manufacturer states is energy efficient and suitable for continuous use to create a cosy atmosphere without large running costs. Two heat outputs let you choose gentle background warmth or a stronger 2 kW boost to take the chill out of a room. The black finish and realistic log bed bring a traditional hearth appearance without the maintenance of real fuel or flue work. 🔥

Usage Recommendations

For recessed installation, ensure the cavity accommodates a 9 cm inset depth and the fire fits a 16" or 18" opening. If you prefer a minimal installation, fit the spacer frame and place the unit flat to the wall as a freestanding fireplace. Use the flame-only mode for ambience during milder months, and switch to the fan heater on the required setting for short periods of supplementary heat. Consider that the fan heater is intended as a supplementary top-up rather than a primary heating source. 🌡️
