A linear electric fireplace with ten flame colors, illuminated crystal media and a choice of wall-mounted or recessed installation. Clear acrylic crystals and a remote are included; log kits are optional.
Entice gives a wall a linear focal point without a gas line or chimney. Choose from five nominal sizes—36, 42, 50, 60 and 72 inches—then compare the actual appliance and framing measurements for your installation. The nearly frameless black front keeps the emphasis on the flame presentation.
Plan wall mounting, partial recessing or full recessing with your installer. Wall mounting uses the supplied bracket. These are different construction and electrical arrangements: the plug-in wall-mount option does not make recessed installation a plug-and-play project.
Clear acrylic crystals are supplied for the ember bed. Birch or driftwood log kits are optional additions, so the fireplace arrives with a complete crystal-media starting look.
Color, brightness and movement
Set the fire to suit the room.
Choose from ten flame colors and ten ember-bed colors, from dark orange and gold to blue, green and violet. Color cycling and a selected-color setting let you change the look over time or settle on a preferred shade.
Five flame-speed settings change the movement. Adjust orange-flame brightness and ember-bed brightness separately; ember-bed brightness adjustment is unavailable while its colors cycle. The reflective rear panel adds visual depth behind the flames. Run the flame effect with the heater off when you want the view without supplemental heat.
A remote is already included
Make the next adjustment from your seat.
The supplied remote controls flame color, brightness and speed, ember-bed lighting, heater settings, temperature and timer. The appliance also has an illuminated control panel that dims when it is not in use.
Choose low or high heat, fan-only operation, or turn the heater and blower off. The timer has a 30-minute setting and one- through eight-hour settings. Temperature adjustment and heater lockout provide further control.
Plan the opening and the power
Measure the appliance, then plan the wall.
Nominal size is the selection name, not a substitute for the drawing. Entice has an overall height of 16 15/16 inches and a maximum depth of 5 7/16 inches. Outside width, viewing width and rough-opening width vary by model; check the selected model before framing.

Framing
The rough opening is 16 inches high. Partial recessing requires at least 4 inches of depth; full recessing requires at least 6 inches, including finishing materials. Use the model-specific opening width and follow the manual for bracket position, trim, finishing and clearances. The framing shown is non-load-bearing.
Electrical connection
All five models use 120-volt AC power on a dedicated grounded 15-amp circuit. Maximum appliance input is 1,465 watts. Wall mounting can use the supplied cord; partial and full recessing require removal of the cord and hardwiring by a qualified electrician.
Location and clearances
Choose an indoor location that is not prone to moisture. Keep furniture, curtains, bedding and other combustible items clear of the appliance as specified in the installation instructions. Check the complete clearance diagram and electrical route before building the enclosure.
7 wood screws, 7 drywall anchors and 8 ST4x12 metal screws for NEFL36CFH-1.
Separate purchases
Optional birch or driftwood log kits, site wiring and construction materials are not included as standard.
Keep the view clear and the air moving.
Switch the fireplace off, disconnect its power supply and let it cool before cleaning. Keep the heater and air openings free of dust, and follow the manual for cleaning glass and finished surfaces. Do not operate the fireplace with damaged glass or electrical components; arrange qualified service.

Frequently asked questions
Does the size name equal the outside width or framing width?
Use the model-specific measurements rather than the nominal name. For example, the 42-inch NEFL42CFH-1 is 41 3/4 inches wide outside, has a 37 13/16-inch viewing width and needs a 40 7/8-inch rough-opening width. The specification table separates these dimensions for every size.
Can I hang the fireplace on the wall?
Yes. The supplied bracket supports wall mounting when installed to the manual’s mounting and fastener requirements. A suitable dedicated grounded 120-volt supply is required. The corded wall-mount arrangement is separate from the hardwired recessed arrangements.
Can it be recessed into the wall?
Yes. Partial and full recessing are supported. Both require removal of the power cord and hardwiring by a qualified electrician. Match the selected model’s opening width, bracket arrangement, finishing instructions and clearances.
How deep does the framing need to be?
Partial recessing needs at least 4 inches of depth. Full recessing needs at least 6 inches, including finishing materials. The rough opening is 16 inches high, and its width varies by model. These opening measurements are separate from the outside appliance dimensions.
Are logs included?
No. Small and medium acrylic crystals are included for the standard ember-bed appearance. Birch and driftwood log kits are optional additions; check the exact compatible kit before ordering.
How many flame colors are available?
The -1 models offer ten flame colors and ten ember-bed colors, with cycling and selected-color settings. Five flame-speed settings and brightness adjustments provide further control over the presentation.
Can I use the flames without the heater?
Yes. The heater and blower can be turned off while the flame effect operates. Low heat, high heat and fan-only operation are also available.
Which electrical supply does Entice need?
These models require 120-volt AC power on a dedicated grounded 15-amp circuit. Have the electrical supply and connection method checked against the selected model’s installation instructions before installation.
Is the remote included, and can I use a timer?
Yes. The included remote controls the flame, lighting, heater, temperature and timer functions. The timer offers 30 minutes and one- through eight-hour settings. Follow the operating instructions for temperature control and heater lockout.
What does the manufacturer warranty cover?
Entice has two years of premium coverage for eligible electrical components and wearable parts, with covered warranty-repair labor in the first year. Light bulbs, fuses and shipping costs are excluded. Original-purchaser and authorized-dealer conditions apply; consult the complete written warranty.

OUR PRODUCT ASSESSMENT
Hearth Outpost Score
8.2/10
We’d put the Entice on a wall where a TV cabinet or heavy mantel would take up too much floor space. The crystal bed suits a clean, bright room, and separate flame and ember colors let you soften it for movie night. The bigger decision is how it will sit against the wall. Hanging it keeps the project simple. Recessing it gives a more integrated finish and makes the outlet, wiring route and trim worth planning early.

What owners are saying
One buyer replaced a bulky TV cabinet and felt the living room opened up. Others liked the quiet fan, useful warmth and the ability to change the flame and crystal colors separately. Their installations varied: one hired an installer, while another needed more setup time than expected. A buyer who wanted phone control used the manual controls as a backup to the remote.
What stands out
The five widths give you a real choice about proportion. Mark the fireplace and the TV above it separately. Ten flame colors and five speeds also let you lower the visual intensity when the fire shares the room with a screen.
What to weigh before buying
Clear crystals and a remote come with the listed CFH-1 units. Budget separately for decorative logs. If you want a flush face or concealed wiring, decide that before the wall is closed and use the instructions for the exact suffix you order.
Value Consideration
We’d spend on the width you can appreciate from the sofa before spending on extra media. The standard crystal bed already gives you a finished look, and the wall-hung option can avoid the expense of building a recess.
