The Dimplex Optimyst e-MatriX delivers a spectacular 3D flame created by a fine lit water mist. Designed for zero-vent built-in installation, it comes in three configurations — single-sided, corner (2-sided), or bay (3-sided) — to integrate a residential media wall or a commercial space without the constraints of a gas fireplace. 120 V, 270 W, cool-to-the-touch glass, ¼” water connection, and the Flame Connect app: everything for a clean, safe installation in Québec.
Optimyst technology: water vapor + LED → ultra-realistic flames and “smoke”, with no scorching-hot glass.
Sizes & configurations (800/650 series “32″ × 26″”): 1-sided (FEF3226L1), 2-sided left/right (FEF3226L2L / L2R), 3-sided (FEF3226L3).
Power: 120 V, ≈ 270 W, ≈ 2.25 A (hardwired). No supplemental heat (ambiance unit).
Water: permanent ¼” connection (8–110 psi), approx. 0.30 L/h consumption; integrated overflow protection.
Fresh air required: provide ≥ 40 in² of intake under the unit (increase if a grille reduces free area).
Controls & comfort: remote + Flame Connect app; optional crackling sounds and a realistic log set.
Designed for ambiance rather than heating, the e-MatriX delivers flame depth and an immersive visual that remains stable when the air supply and water supply meet requirements. Avoid drafts (HVAC vents, fans) that disrupt the flame, as you would with a candle.
Type: water-vapor electric fireplace (built-in, hardwired 120 V). No venting.
Fresh air: min. 40 in² under the unit; clear the area if a grille reduces the opening.
Water: ¼” supply (8–110 psi) + supplied filters; use non-hard water or softened/filtered water.
Standards: electrical product (not subject to CSA B149.1/B365). Follow the Canadian Electrical Code and the manual.
Certifications: cULus marking (ref. E71416 noted), dry indoor use.
Routine: ensure periodic cleaning of nozzles/filters and a clear air intake; check water filters.
Warranty: 2-year limited (manufacturer — Dimplex electric products).
Noréa tip: plan for a dedicated 15 A outlet if other loads trip the circuit.

Oui, lorsque l’installation respecte le manuel et la gestion de chaleur Cool Touch Wall, qui permet de réduire la chaleur en façade pour abaisser le téléviseur plus près du foyer. Les schémas de montage TV et exigences de rejets/chaleur sont détaillés par Flare; toujours suivre le manuel d’installation et la configuration de heat-release recommandée.
Le ST-45 est un foyer à évent direct (système coaxial scellé). La fiche technique liste un raccord 4×6 en configuration naturelle, et 3×5 avec power vent. Le manuel couvre les parcours, terminaisons horizontales/verticales et les dégagements au conduit. Un installateur qualifié doit valider le tracé sur place.
La puissance d’entrée maximale est de 36 000 BTU/h en gaz naturel (GN) et 28 000 BTU/h en propane (PL). Le fabricant annonce une efficacité jusqu’à 82 % (GN) / 83 % (PL). Les performances réelles varient selon la configuration, le réglage et la qualité d’évacuation.
Flare indique une certification CSA pour l’installation en Amérique du Nord. La garantie prévoit 18 mois sur l’électronique, 5 ans sur les vitrages (bris thermique) et 10 ans limités sur la boîte foyère et les brûleurs. Au Québec, l’installation du gaz doit respecter le Code CSA B149.1 et le manuel du fabricant.
