Frequently Asked Questions
ClassicFlame heater runs all night even with thermostat set low — cause?
A stuck thermostat sensor or relay inside the control board can cause continuous heating regardless of the set temperature. This is a component failure — contact ClassicFlame support for repair.
ClassicFlame thermostat setting keeps reverting to default — why?
Some ClassicFlame models reset thermostat settings when unplugged or after a power cut. This is by design, not a fault. You will need to reapply your preferred thermostat setting after each power interruption.
Is the ClassicFlame thermostat accurate to within 1°C?
ClassicFlame consumer fireplaces use a basic NTC thermistor sensor that is accurate to approximately ±2–3°C. For precise room temperature control, use the thermostat as a guide and adjust by feel rather than relying on exact degree accuracy.
