The Touchstone Sideline Elite® Forte 40 inch Smart Electric Fireplace combines advanced LED flame technology with Wi-Fi compatibility. Control the flame and heat settings via remote control or mobile app. Use voice commands through Google Home and Amazon Alexa devices for easy control. The Sideline Elite transforms a simple accent wall into a striking feature, blending contemporary design with warmth and ambiance. The Sideline Elite is an environmentally friendly option to a traditional wood-burning fireplace, ensuring a clean and odorless ambiance.
Experience the impressive LED flames of Touchstone's electric fireplaces, providing the same relaxing effect as real flames without the mess or smell. They create a natural look that resembles a traditional wood burning fireplace. Personalize your fireplace with 60 flame and base color combinations and various fireplace hearth media options. Choose between a traditional log set or a modern combination of crystals and driftwood.
Enjoy the fireplace's beauty with or without heat in any season or climate. The Sideline Elite Electric Fireplace adds a cozy feel with convenient heat and flame controls. The two heat settings warm up to 400 square feet, though it's not designed as a primary heat source. The front glass remains cool, ensuring a safer experience compared to wood or gas fireplaces. It's perfect for homes with children and pets or where wood burning fireplaces are restricted.
The slim Sideline Elite can be recessed into the wall or wall-mounted with a depth of 5 1/2 inches. It's a hassle-free addition to any room, and installation instructions are provided. The fireplace can be plugged into a standard outlet or hardwired by a professional. Place the Sideline Elite at least 8 inches below the ceiling or a mounted flat-screen TV to provide clearance from the heater unit. We recommend placing the fireplace at least 6 inches from the floor.
