The Napoleon Element 36" Self-Trimming Electric Fireplace delivers strong heat output, traditional fireplace styling, and flexible built-in installation. Its vivid flame effect, realistic oak log set, ember bed, brick side panels, and adjustable top lighting create a classic hearth appearance with modern electric convenience.
Dual-voltage compatibility allows the Element to plug into a standard 120V outlet or be hardwired for 120V/240V operation. The self-trimming design helps create a clean built-in finish, while the included multi-function remote provides convenient control of the flame, lighting, thermostat, and heat settings.
The Element can be installed into an existing fireplace opening, a mantel, or a framed built-in application, and its flame can operate independently from the heater for year-round use.
