Napoleon Cineview family room reference with included logs; surrounding cabinetry, mantel and television are not included

Cineview 30 fits a prepared recess rather than hanging on the wall. Its self-trimming black flange finishes the edge of the opening, while the included logs, grate and black crystals give you two ways to arrange the ember bed.

During installation, arrange the black crystals on their own, or place the supplied log pair and grate over the smaller crystals. Both looks are included. Surrounding cabinetry, a mantel, wall finishes and construction materials are separate from the fireplace.

This is a recessed appliance for a suitable prepared opening. Plan the framing, finishing and electrical route before installation; a 30-inch product name is not the required rough-opening width.

Confirm remaining availability before committing to framing or a renovation schedule.

Change the color and movement

Set a different mood at the hearth.

Blue and orange flames have separate brightness controls, so you can use either color or combine them. Five speed settings change the movement, and the ember-bed lighting offers preset colors, cycling and a setting that holds a preferred shade from the cycle.

Ember-bed brightness is adjustable when the lights are not cycling. The flame effect can operate with the heater off, giving you the view when supplemental warmth is not needed.

Remote included

Adjust the fire from your seat.

Cineview included remote control

The included remote controls the flames, ember-bed lighting, heater, temperature and timer. Touch controls on the appliance provide power, temperature, heater and flame operation.

ECO mode reduces heat output. Boost mode uses full heat with a faster fan and offers 10-, 20- or 30-minute settings. Temperature control also reduces heater output as the detected room temperature approaches your setting.

Use the remote to select heat, fan-only operation or heater-off operation. The timer offers 30 minutes and one- through eight-hour settings. Heater lockout is available when you want to prevent heating.

Plan the opening and power

Measure the opening with your installer.

Original Cineview manufacturer dimension drawing; manual page 5

The appliance measures 30 inches wide, 20 5/16 inches high and 7 3/4 inches deep. Its viewing area is 27 15/16 inches wide by 15 3/16 inches high. Compare these outside and viewing dimensions with the separate framing requirements.

Framing

Have your installer prepare the straight rough opening at 29 1/4 inches wide and 7 3/4 inches deep, with a framing height of 19 7/8 inches plus the floor or mantel-base thickness, marked F. Apply the base detail and finishing instructions before building the enclosure.

Electrical connection

Cineview 30 uses 120-volt power on a dedicated grounded 15-amp circuit, with maximum appliance input of 1,465 watts. A plug-in connection is available; hardwiring must be completed by a qualified electrician. Route and complete the electrical connection before placing the appliance into position.

Location and clearances

Use an indoor location that is not prone to moisture. Keep movable combustible items such as furniture, curtains and bedding at least 36 inches away, and keep all heater vents and air openings clear. The adjacent-surface clearances and finishing diagrams in the installation manual must also be followed.

Frequently asked questions

Are logs included, or do I need to buy them separately?

The log pair, grate, and small and large black crystals are included. You can arrange a crystal-only ember bed or the logs and grate over small crystals. These are included installation choices, not separate media purchases.

Can it be hung on the wall?

Cineview 30 is a recessed built-in appliance, not a surface-mounted wall-hanging fireplace. Prepare the opening, finishing and electrical connection to its installation instructions.

What size opening does it need?

The straight rough opening is 29 1/4 inches wide and 7 3/4 inches deep. The framing drawing specifies a height of 19 7/8 inches plus the floor or mantel-base thickness F. Have your installer apply the complete drawing rather than using the nominal 30-inch size as a cutout dimension.

Does it plug in, or must it be hardwired?

A plug-in connection or qualified-electrician hardwiring can be used. It requires 120-volt power on a dedicated grounded 15-amp circuit. Complete and route the electrical connection before positioning the fireplace, following the installation instructions.

What do ECO and Boost modes do?

ECO reduces heater output. Boost uses full heat and a faster fan, with 10-, 20- and 30-minute choices. Temperature control also reduces heat output near the selected room-temperature setting.

Can I run the flames without heat?

Yes. The flame effect can operate with the heater off. Fan-only operation and heater lockout are also available.

Can the flame and ember-bed colors change?

Blue and orange flames have independent brightness controls and can be combined. Ember-bed lights offer preset colors, cycling and a selected-shade setting. Five flame-speed settings adjust movement; ember brightness cannot change while its colors are cycling.

Is a remote control included?

Yes. The supplied remote controls the flame, ember lighting, heater, temperature and timer. The timer offers 30 minutes and one- through eight-hour settings.

Is a wider finishing trim included?

No. The fireplace has a self-trimming flange. The optional NEFTK3040 black trim finishes to 40 inches wide and can be arranged three- or four-sided; its finished height is 25 5/16 inches with three sides or 30 inches with four. Confirm the exact arrangement and opening with your installer; these are trim dimensions, not firebox framing dimensions.

What does the warranty cover?

One year of standard coverage applies to eligible electrical components and wearable parts. Labor, shipping, light bulbs and fuses are excluded. Original-purchaser and authorized-dealer conditions apply; registration is not required. Consult the full written warranty.

OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT

Hearth Outpost Score

8.0/10

The Cineview makes sense when you want a hearth with the proportions of a traditional firebox. Its self-trimming front gives the opening a finished edge, and both the logs and black crystals come in the box. We like being able to try the two looks in your own room before committing to one. For an older opening, measure the usable depth at the back as well as the front width before ordering the 30-inch unit.

What owners are saying

A 30-inch buyer liked the fit in their home and said the family used the warmth over winter. Across the Cineview family, owners also mention the flame movement and the darker, modern face. Heat drew different responses: one felt warmth quickly, while another expected it to travel farther. Where you sit in relation to the outlet matters more than how convincing the flame looks.

What stands out

The front flange helps finish the edge of a built-in opening. You can run the flame independently, change its speed or switch the media from logs to black crystals without buying a second kit.

What to weigh before buying

Measure the actual box and rough opening against the NEFB30H drawing. A trim flange can cover an edge, but it cannot make the cavity deeper. Keep furniture clear of the outlet and consider where you want to feel the airflow.

Value Consideration

A good choice if you already have a suitable opening and want to put the budget into the firebox itself. If you also need storage or a place to set a television, price a complete console alongside the cost of custom cabinetry.

Curbside delivery

Large or heavy products may arrive by freight. Standard freight delivery is curbside: plan for help moving the shipment from the curb to its final location. Carry-in service, assembly, installation and packaging removal are not part of standard curbside delivery.

You must contact us in advance to arrange return pickup. Please do not send items back without first arranging the return with us.

There is no restocking fee. For change-of-mind returns, customers are responsible for return shipping costs, which will be deducted from the refund. Customers do not pay return shipping for damaged items.

Keep the original packaging and all parts and accessories. If you’re considering a return, leave the product unused and uninstalled while we review your request.

Refunds

Approved refunds are issued immediately upon inspection of the returned item, to the original method of payment used for your order. Once we issue your refund, it usually takes 7–10 days for the credit to appear in your account. The exact timing depends on your credit card issuer, bank or payment provider and their processing policies.

This timeframe begins when the refund is issued, rather than when a return is requested or shipped. For change-of-mind returns, return shipping costs will be deducted from your refund. Customers do not pay return shipping for damaged items. There is no restocking fee.
