Dimplex 45" Direct-Wire Firebox Built-In Insert X-BF45DXP

Product overview

The Dimplex BF Deluxe 45" built-in firebox brings classic fireplace charm to a new wall, a custom surround or a cabinet. A brick-look interior and molded logs give it the welcoming feel of a traditional hearth, and the 45-inch size makes a confident focal point in a family room, den or great room.

The original Dimplex Flame Effect, reflected in mirrored rear glass, plays over logs molded from real wood and a pulsing ember bed, so the fire looks deep and alive from across the room. Mesh spark screens complete the traditional look, and Dimplex offers glass doors and a black surround trim to finish the opening your way.

A fan-forced heater gives on-demand warmth when you want it, and the flames run on their own in every season. Because it is hardwired, the wiring stays hidden for a true built-in finish, with no chimney, gas line or venting to look after.

Installation and safety notes

Frame a rough opening 45" wide, 32 7/8" high and 16" deep. The BF Series is a zero clearance design except at the top: keep insulation and vapor barrier at least 2" (5.1 cm) from the unit, place nothing combustible on its top surface, and never cover the air intake slots along the bottom front. Fasten the unit to the framing by bending out the four side flanges.

Wiring must be done by a qualified electrician to local and national codes on a dedicated, properly fused 15-amp circuit with 14 AWG cable. Set the voltage selector inside the exhaust panel to 115 for 120 V or 230 for 240 V. Allow 8" (20.3 cm) of service cable if you connect before the wall is finished, or up to 4 ft (121.9 cm) if you connect afterwards. Wall switches, a flame override switch and a single-pole wall thermostat can be wired in as described in the installation guide; a flame override switch is not for no-heat installations.

The firebox is for indoor use only and is not watertight; keep it away from tubs and showers. Replace the four E12 candelabra bulbs as a set when they near the end of their life, and let them cool for 5 minutes before touching. A dirty filter can trip the overheat cutout; switch off and wait 5 minutes to reset.
