Amantii Traditional Fireplaces

An Amantii Traditional Electric Fireplace Keeps the Classic Look

The Amantii Traditional is the line for a room that wants a fireplace to look like a fireplace: a boxed firebox with a log bed and a natural orange flame, instead of a long modern strip. It is fully electric, so it needs no gas line, no flue and no chimney, and the flame runs with the heater off. The heater blows forward from hidden vents at the top of the unit, so it can sit flush or semi-flush with no grille showing.

Traditional Lumina: a Built-In That Also Works as an Insert

The Traditional Lumina frames into a new wall like any built-in, using the trim that comes on the unit. Its smaller sizes can also go into the opening of an existing wood or gas fireplace with an Amantii 3-sided or 4-sided insert trim kit, sold separately, while the larger sizes are built-in only. It ships with an oak log set, and the ember bed lighting, flame brightness and flame speed each have their own setting.

Traditional Xtraslim: the Same Look in a Thinner Cabinet

The Traditional Xtraslim has the boxed shape of a classic fireplace in a slender cabinet that needs little wall depth, which makes it the pick for a bedroom, an office or a small living room where a deeper firebox will not fit. It is a built-in model and comes with glass media; Amantii's natural wood log set for the Traditional Xtraslim gives it a wood look instead.

Retrofitting an Old Fireplace: Damper, Outlet, Measurements

Close the chimney damper before the insert goes in. The fireplace does not use the flue, and an open damper only lets warm air out and cold air in. Measure the firebox at its narrowest point, because many masonry fireboxes taper toward the back. Most old fireplaces have no outlet nearby, and Amantii asks for a dedicated outlet with no extension cord or power strip, so plan where it plugs in or have an electrician hardwire it.

About 5,000 BTU and a Thermostat on Both Models

On high, both models give about 5,000 BTU from a standard 120V outlet, enough to take the chill off the room they are in, and a thermostat holds the temperature you set. Each can be run from a touch panel, the handheld remote or Amantii's Wi-Fi app, with flame speed and the colors of the canopy and ember lighting adjustable.
