A built-in electric firebox with fireplace logs, pulsing embers, mirrored rear glass and fan-forced supplemental heat, with documented 120-, 208- or 240-volt installations.
In Stock
BF39STP brings a traditional built-in firebox format together with the Dimplex flame presentation, fireplace logs and a pulsing ember bed. A mirrored rear panel forms part of the display, while operable mesh screens finish the standard opening.
Use the flame on its own or add fan-forced supplemental heat. The firebox’s documented 120-, 208- and 240-volt configurations provide different heater ratings; choose the installation with the electrician before the surrounding wall is complete.
Separate glass, door and trim accessories allow a considered finishing choice. Match each accessory to BF39STP and review what the base firebox already supplies before ordering additional parts.
The standard log and ember presentation sits within the steel-lined firebox, with the mirrored rear glass and mesh screens identified in the exact model specification. Optional front glass and door products have separate identities.
The manufacturer’s untrimmed front and angled views help distinguish the base firebox from a finished room photograph that may show additional surround details.
For a flat-wall installation, the current manual gives a 39 × 32.9 × 16-inch rough opening. Plan the supply, mounting, finish and service access together.
| Rough-opening width | 39 in |
|---|---|
| Rough-opening height | 32.9 in |
| Rough-opening depth | 16 in |
| Width / height tolerance | 0 to +0.1 in, per manual table |
The manual identifies the trimming surfaces that may contact finish materials and specifies separate clearances for insulation and vapor barriers. Do not place combustibles on the top surface or use trim as a substitute for support.
Use the manual’s separate corner diagram or control arrangement before closing the wall. The correct supply and control scheme must be selected with the installer rather than combined from several optional diagrams.
The exact model sheet describes flame-only and flame-with-heat operation. Fan-forced circulation provides supplemental warmth without changing the decorative presentation into a gas or wood-burning fire.
The documented heater ratings are 1,440 watts at 120 volts, 2,100 watts at 208 volts and 2,700 watts at 240 volts. These belong to different configured supplies; they are not interchangeable plug settings.
Use the built-in manual switches or an appropriate documented control arrangement. Optional remote, wall-switch and thermostat choices require their own compatibility and installation review.
| In the box | Contents & quantities |
|---|---|
| Firebox & heater | BF39STP built-in firebox with fan-forced heater |
| Flame presentation | Fireplace logs and pulsing ember bed |
| Standard finishing components | Mirrored rear glass and operable mesh screens |
| Controls | Built-in manual power and heater switches |
| Optional finishing & connection | Front glass / doors, trim and plug kit are separate accessory choices |
The current 7206350500R10 guide lists a rough opening 39 inches wide, 32.9 inches high and 16 inches deep for BF39STP/DXP, with 0 to +0.1 inch tolerance on width and height. Use that exact model row and its clearance notes. The nominal 39-inch product name and the overall firebox dimensions are separate measurements.
The exact model specification documents all three supplies, with different heater ratings. The installation guide states that the appliance is factory-configured for 208/240 volts and describes a different 120-volt configuration. Have the installer confirm the appliance setting, supply and controls before connection; this is not a plug-and-use voltage change.
The exact BF39STP sheet lists 2,700 watts at 240 volts, 2,100 watts at 208 volts and 1,440 watts at 120 volts. These are alternative electrical configurations, not outputs to add together. Choose the intended supply with the installer and use the complete circuit and connection requirements in the installation guide.
The exact model sheet lists mirrored rear glass and operable mesh screens as standard features. It lists BFGLASS39BLK, BFDOOR39BLKSM and BFSDOOR39BLK as separate optional glass or door accessories. Choose the exact front arrangement deliberately; the mesh screens and rear mirror are different parts from an optional glass front.
The product has built-in manual power and heater switches. The service resource identifies an optional remote-control kit; a remote should not be assumed to be standard equipment. The documented control options also include wall switches and a wall thermostat. No app or Wi-Fi feature is asserted for this model.
The installation guide describes different control arrangements and specifically excludes certain main-power wall-switch arrangements from use with the remote-control kit. Choose a documented control scheme before the wall is finished rather than buying all controls as though they automatically work together.
The exact model sheet describes flame-only operation as well as flame with heat. The installation guide also covers control and no-heat arrangements with their own requirements. Use the selected appliance controls and installation configuration rather than changing the wiring as an everyday way to switch heat on and off.
Follow the current guide’s clearances and trimming-surface instructions. It prohibits combustibles on the top surface and gives separate spacing for insulation and vapor barriers around the unit. Finish materials may contact only the identified trimming surfaces; a decorative frame does not remove the support, airflow or clearance requirements.
The guide shows a separate rough-in corner-framing layout. Do not transfer the flat-wall opening measurements to a corner by appearance alone. Have the installer use the corner diagram, the correct BF39STP model row, mounting flanges and full clearance requirements before the structure is built.
The exact BF39STP architectural specification calls for a two-year limited warranty on electrical components. Keep the model, serial number and purchase record for authorized support. This is not a blanket coverage period for every separately purchased trim, glass door or control accessory, and no included in-home service is promised here.
RATINGS & OWNER INSIGHTS
What owners report. What our research finds.
BF Standard 39-inch Built-In Firebox family
OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
The BF39STP is for someone who wants a familiar built-in fireplace shape and a straightforward electric fire rather than an elaborate light show. Its appeal is the traditional presentation and the ability to plan the electrical configuration around the project. We would pay particular attention to what is included: the remote, optional doors, trim and plug-in arrangement need to be checked separately. That preparation matters more here than chasing extra settings, particularly when finishing an existing opening.
An owner praises the appearance and the added warmth. That points to the BF39STP's straightforward role: a traditional-looking focal point with supplementary heating. It does not establish long-term dependability or how well it will heat a larger room.
The taller opening works with a mantel or traditional surround more naturally than a very wide, shallow ribbon of flame. It is worth considering when the room already has a hearth-like focal point and you want the replacement to feel at home there.
The installation documentation covers different supply configurations. That can be useful in a planned renovation, but the connection must be selected correctly rather than assumed from a retailer photograph. Have the installer work from the exact BF39STP instructions.
A remote is not automatically part of the standard firebox. The optional BFRC-KIT, compatible trim and any doors need to be checked against your intended finish. A seemingly inexpensive firebox can become a different proposition once those pieces and installation are included.
The current supplier material identifies this model as available while quantities last. Confirm supply, accessory fit and service support before making an opening around it. The optional plug arrangement applies to the specified 120-volt configuration, not every electrical setup.
We would choose the BF39STP for a well-defined traditional installation rather than simply because it is an older, lower-complexity option. Price the finished package against Nova and Revillusion. If a remote and a more convincing visual presentation are priorities, the newer alternatives may justify their extra cost before any installation work begins.
The family assessment pools sizes, fuel types, generations and colors. Equipment differs by configuration. The HOP score is a price-independent research assessment. Owner themes summarize the accessible sample.
