Modern Flames Landscape Pro Slim Electric Fireplace

The Modern Flames Landscape Pro Slim is the frameless linear electric fireplace for a standard 2x6 wall: 5-3/8 inches deep, finished clean face with no visible trim, in five widths from 44 to 96 inches. The flame, ember bed and downlights are full-color LED, set separately or together, over driftwood logs and acrylic crystals.

Who it's for

Right buyer. You want a frameless, clean-face linear fireplace in a standard 2x6 wall, rated for a covered patio as well as indoors, with full-color lighting and an app. You would like the option of the invisible mesh screen for an open-fire look.

Wrong buyer. You want 240-volt heat or a two-sided install; both need the Multi. You want to plug it in and do it yourself; the Spectrum is the plug-in choice.

How it performs

Frameless is the word for it: when the drywall meets the glass with nothing in between, the fire looks like part of the wall rather than a box in it. The mesh screen option takes that further by removing reflections, so the fire reads as open.

Good to know

• Hardwire only; there is no plug-in version.
• 120 volts only; no 240-volt heat.
• The mesh screen costs a little brightness and needs care when it is off the fireplace.

Dimensions

Frame the opening below in a 2x6 wall and finish the drywall to the fireplace's drywall stops; the included trim gives the clean face. Electrical goes to the top right of the framing. In a 2x4 wall, use the same width and height, let the fireplace stand proud, and finish it with a custom facade.

Heat

The Slim is 120 volts only, hardwired by an electrician to its own 20-amp circuit, drawing 13 amps with the heater on. The heater gives 5,000 BTU, enough to take the chill off a room of about 400 square feet, with a thermostat and a lockout so the flames run without heat.

• The fireplace with front glass, mounting bracket set, trim, driftwood log set, clear and smoke crystals, remote and suction cup.
• The mesh screen and TruWood logs ship as their own cartons when you add them.

Installation

Hardwired by an electrician to a dedicated 120-volt, 20-amp circuit, junction box at the top left rear. Indoors, or outdoors under a covered patio with the same overhang rule as the Multi: cover reaching out at least half the height from the base to the roof on the front and both sides, base at least 2 inches off the floor, no direct rain or sun.

• Fully recessed in a 2x6 wall: frame the opening, fasten through the L-brackets, finish the drywall to the stops; the trim in the box gives the clean face.
• Partial recess in a 2x4 wall: same width and height, custom facade around the part that stands proud.

Planning the install

• Indoor, or outdoor under a covered patio: the roof overhang must be at least half the height from the fireplace base to the roof on the front and the sides, the base at least 2 inches off the floor, and no direct rain or sun. Never in a bathroom or laundry room.
• It needs its own dedicated 20-amp circuit. Nothing else on the breaker, and never an extension cord or power strip.
• Keep curtains, furniture and bedding at least 3 feet from the front. The heater blows out of the top front.
• It is a supplemental heater for one room, not a home's main heat.
• The front is glass. Large sizes take two people to lift and to remove the glass.
• Built-in installs: frame the opening from the table above, run the electrical to the top right of the framing, and double-check the fireplace against the opening before cutting stone, tile or veneer.
