Other Questions
What size step-down transformer will I need to install The Sideline 60 Inch Recessed Smart Electric Fireplace 80011 in a home with 220 V / 50 Hz power?
The Sideline 60 is designed for AC 110–120V, 60Hz power and is rated at 1500W. We do not support or recommend using a step-down transformer to operate the fireplace on a 220V/50Hz electrical system.
Can you use the logs and glass pieces together. If so, does the glass go under or over the log? There just doesn't seem like there's enough room to put all of the glass and the log.
No, we recommend using either the faux log set or the crystals, but not both together. The ember bed is designed for one display option at a time, which is why there is not enough room to use the full log set and crystals together.
What is Firefox opening & rough opening
The firebox dimensions refer to the size of the recessed portion of the fireplace itself.
The rough opening dimensions refer to the framed opening required in the wall to install the fireplace and are typically slightly larger to allow for proper fit and installation tolerance.
Will this fit in a 2x6 wall?
The Sideline 60 requires a rough opening of 47 1/8″ W × 20 1/2″ H × 5 3/4″ D. A standard 2×6 wall typically provides enough depth to accommodate this fireplace, provided the framing is built to the specified dimensions.

Does the 60 inch and 50 inch have the same heat coverage?
