Dimplex Ignite Ultra 88" Multi-Side Built-In Electric Fireplace

Yes, the ULT88 is engineered for true installation versatility with four configuration options in one unit: front-facing, left-corner, right-corner, or panoramic bay-style. To convert between configurations, simply remove the appropriate side panel(s)—no additional kits or accessories are required. This makes it ideal for room dividers, peninsula walls, and modern open-concept layouts where multi-sided viewing is desired.

The Ignite Ultra 88 operates on either 120V (with included plug for plug-in installation) or 240V (hardwired for maximum heat output). On 120V it draws 12.5 amps and produces 5,118 BTU, while on 240V it draws 10.4 amps and produces 8,530 BTU. Minimum framing dimensions are 88-9/16" W x 28" H x 15" D. For 240V operation, a dedicated circuit and professional electrician are recommended.

Absolutely. The Comfort$aver® heating system allows you to turn the heat off temporarily or permanently while still enjoying the full flame effect, sound, and lighting features. This means you can enjoy the ambiance 365 days a year, including warm summer months, without raising the room temperature.

When operating in heat mode, the Comfort$aver® ceramic heating system supplies on-demand supplemental warmth for spaces up to 1,000 square feet. The fireplace produces 5,118 BTU on 120V or 8,530 BTU on 240V. It is designed as a supplemental heat source rather than a primary furnace, ideal for warming living rooms, primary bedrooms, and great rooms.

The ULT88 offers three convenient control methods. The Dimplex Flame Connect App provides full smartphone control over flame colors, brightness, speed, sound, heat, and lighting. A wall-mountable magnetic remote keeps a physical controller within easy reach, and a built-in 3-button touch display on the unit itself provides quick access to basic functions when needed.

Each unit ships with the Rhythmic Inner Glow Log set featuring Quick-Connect magnetic placement, tumbled glass ember media, the wall-mountable remote control, and all necessary installation hardware. The ember bed accepts a variety of media including the included logs and glass, plus optional gravel or black glass media (sold separately) so you can fully customize the look to match your interior design.

Dimplex backs the ULT88 with a comprehensive 5-Year Limited Warranty: the first 2 years cover both parts and labor, followed by an additional 3 years of parts coverage. Note that costs associated with on-site service, removal of existing parts, installation of replacement units, diagnostic labor, and shipping for replacement components are not covered. Always retain your original proof of purchase for warranty claims.

Yes. The Ignite Ultra is designed for safe installation against combustible framing materials such as standard 2x4 wall studs, and its cool-touch glass and forward-projecting heat outlet make it suitable for installation beneath a wall-mounted television when manufacturer clearances are observed. Always consult the official installation manual for specific clearance-to-combustibles requirements and follow all local electrical and building codes.
