Working

This heat can be controlled thermostatically, it is designed to heat 400 sq ft room.

These electric heaters are not entirely free of limitations, to put it simply they will not heat your whole house.

But don't consider it as a downfall because the heating depends on how much electricity it can pull through a household circuit and outlet safely.

Controls

A set of manual controls are located beneath the fire box behind the access flap.

It's not really convenient, and the remote is only on/off (A 2 type).

With this limitation, any "on the fly" changes to heat or flame effects has to be done manually at the fireplace.
