User questions & answers

Question:	Is the flame realistic? Also, can I put the heater on carpeting
Answer:	My red Duraflame is in my living room. I've gotten comments from visitors to my house about how realistic the fireplace looks. I think it makes the room look cozy. Can you tell the flames are fake? Of course, but they look as real as any faux fireplace that I've seen (and I've owned five different electric fireplaces). I have a black Duraflame fireplace that's been in my three-season sunroom for about six years now, and it's on carpet. So yes, you can put the heater on carpeting.
Question:	How can I purchase remote separately ? I lost mine
Answer:	Try calling Duraflame at 1-888-674-7517 and ask if they will send you a another remote. The part number is P136. Good luck!!
Question:	Do the sides/front get very hot? I have a 8 month old and want to know if it would be safe with her crawling around
Answer:	No, the surface doesn't get hot. That's one of the reasons I bought it. I think it would be safe for an 8 month old, even if he/she pulled themselves up on it. It seems to be very sturdy with a low center of gravity, but I'm not sure I would totally trust a toddler to not pull it over.
Question:	Does this unit contain a thermostat. That is, will it shut itself off when the room temperature reaches a specific temp, and will it turn back on
Answer:	YES THIS UNIT HAS A THERMOSTAT, USE A WALL THERMOMETER AND THE KNOB ON THE LEFT SET TEMPERATURE .Turn the left KNOB fully counter clockwise, then turn the KNOB clockwise in 1/4 turn increments, stopping each time to allow room temperature to stabilize, check WALL THERMOMETER until desired temperature is reached. Leave the KNOB where it is and every time the Heater is turned on it will heat your room to the desired temperature set previously.

Zone Heating Saves You Money

Zone Heating Saves You Money

Zone Heating is a simple way to save money. In many homes, certain rooms, like bedrooms, dens, and basements, are unused much of the day, and don’t need to be as warm at those times. With zone heating, you can use electric heat to warm up the rooms you’re using, and shut off heated air blown in different sections, or zones, so unoccupied space isn’t heated. Turning down your thermostat by 10 – 15 degrees for 8 hours a day can bring you significant savings.*

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it normal for the plug to be hot
Answer:	I noticed mine was getting really hot. The instructions says not to use and extension cord but I HAD to so I ended up getting a heavy duty appliance extension cord. The plug only gets warm now, not super hot like before. Even if you’re not using an extension cord and gets hot make sure it’s plugged into a GFI outlet and that will solve the problem.
Question:	I know that infered heats a bigger room and gets hot faster, is there a difference otherwise? Pros and cons of each please. I don't know what infered
Answer:	From my understanding, infrared is 40% more efficient and heats faster (covering more sf as a result). However, the heat is direct and thus dissipates just as fast. Conventional heats the air unlike infrared and is supposed to last longer after the heater is off. Conventional also dehumidifies as a result. Not sure the extent to which all that is true with this specific product... I have the conventional one but not this one so can't compare.
Question:	Does this insert make a crackling sound
Answer:	This model does not make a crackling sound.
Question:	what side does the power cord come out on if your facing the fireplace
Answer:	it comes out the back. the unit is a superb heating unit.

User questions & answers

Question:	How long is the cord
Answer:	It should. It just plugs into the AC outlet in the bottom area below fire box. We sure love the way it heats the great room and kitchen!
Question:	Why are there no reviews on this item
Answer:	not sure what you mean by "kit" but it includes the fan and wiring. I had mine installed last week and it works great.
Question:	I have an older home will the power draw cause a problem for me i.e. hot wiring etc. I heard it draws energy equivalent to a 100 watt light bulb yes
Answer:	No. The thermal switch is the control for the automatic on-off feature. Even though your fireplace may feel cool to the touch outside, the location of the thermal switch is likely still warm enough to leave the fan running and circulating. It's working as intended.
Question:	Does the DFI 8511 have an adjustable thermostat
Answer:	If I remember correctly it is on ball bearings, I am really happy with mine, it works great.

User questions & answers

Question:	An you use extension cord
Answer:	The wattage is 1500w, you should be able to use any extension cord you would use with a 1500w hair dryer. Because you will be using it for a much longer period of time than a hair dryer you may want to consider an extension cord of 14 gauge run the unit with full power for 15+ minutes and see if the cord gets hot. If it does go to a 12 gauge cord. Remember it uses very little power when used with the flame and sound, it uses the 1500 when you turn on the heat portion.
Question:	How many btu's is it
Answer:	I’m not sure about BTU’s but it is 120VAC, 12.5 Amps and 1500 Watts
Question:	Can it be used free standing if you don’t have a fireplace
Answer:	I wouldn't try it. It needs to be on a VERY SAFE spot for the heater. Away from drapes, furniture, etc.
Question:	What is the difference between this unit and the duraflame electric dfi030aru with the same specs, aside from the sound
Answer:	Aside from what the other person stated I believe another difference is that this one has heat regulation whereas the other one does not, however, both appear to have regulation of the flames.
