Issues & Concerns
The ClassicFlame 34HF600GRA has a few shortcomings that might be a bit of an issue. These include:
Remote Control
The remote control of this fireplace is a bit of a disappointment as it doesn’t allow you to adjust the temperature setting. You can only adjust the temperature using the control panel.
Hard to locate buttons
The touch buttons on the side can be difficult to locate as they are almost invisible and lack backlighting.
You first need to press the button to light them up, but that selects the wrong setting. And to get to the first setting again, you need to cycle through all the options. It would be better if the buttons only lit up when you touch them the first time.
Care and Maintenance
With proper care and maintenance, the ClassicFlame 34HF600GRA can last a while.
The motors for the fan and the flame generator are already lubricated for extended bearing life. So, there is no need to lubricate them. Simply cleaning and vacuuming the fan/heater from time to time is necessary to keep the fireplace working smoothly.
Plus, you can clean the metal trim using a soft cloth. At most, use a slightly dampened soft cloth with a citrus oil-based product and buff the metal frame lightly.
Avoid using brass polish or household cleaners as they may damage the metal frame and the finishing.
Before cleaning the fireplace’s heater, make sure the unit is turned off and unplugged from the power source.
