Built into the room
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
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
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
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.
| Outside width | 30 in |
|---|---|
| Overall height | 20 5/16 in |
| Maximum depth | 7 3/4 in |
| Viewing width | 27 15/16 in |
| Viewing height | 15 3/16 in |
| Rough-opening width | 29 1/4 in |
| Rough-opening height | 19 7/8 in + floor or mantel-base thickness F |
| Rough-opening depth | 7 3/4 in |
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.
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.
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.
| In the box | Contents & quantities |

Turn the fireplace off, disconnect its power and let it cool before cleaning. Follow the installation and operation manual for cleaning glass and finished surfaces, and keep the air openings free of dust. Arrange qualified service for damaged glass, wiring or operating components.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. The flame effect can operate with the heater off. Fan-only operation and heater lockout are also available.
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.
Yes. The supplied remote controls the flame, ember lighting, heater, temperature and timer. The timer offers 30 minutes and one- through eight-hour settings.
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.
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.
RATINGS & OWNER INSIGHTS
What owners report. What our research finds.
Napoleon Cineview 30 family
EXTERNAL CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
