The Westbo Carl electric fireplace is a multifunctional device designed to provide both warmth and a decorative ambiance, along with a practical cooking surface. It combines the aesthetic appeal of a traditional cast iron stove with modern electric heating and cooking functionalities.
The primary function of the Westbo Carl is to serve as an electric fireplace, simulating a wood-burning fire. It utilizes environmentally friendly resin materials for the simulated wood and high-temperature resistant plastic powder for the sheet metal parts, ensuring a non-toxic and harmless design that meets environmental standards. The flame effect is achieved through coated glass three-dimensional imaging, creating a realistic sense of presence.
In addition to its fireplace function, the device incorporates an electric ceramic cooking plate on its top surface. This allows users to perform light cooking tasks, making it a versatile appliance for various living spaces. The cooking plate is designed to work in conjunction with the heating functions, with an automatic power adjustment to prevent overheating when both are in use.
The device is controlled via an infrared remote control, which manages all its functions. An auxiliary sound and light prompt system provides feedback to the user about the current operating state, enhancing the user experience.
The Westbo Carl is designed for ease of use and safety. Upon unpacking, the user needs to attach the bottom feet to the furnace body using the provided screws. The electric fireplace should be placed in a safe and suitable location, maintaining a minimum distance of 30 cm from combustible materials. The power cord is then plugged into a wall outlet rated at a minimum of 10A. A beep sound indicates that the device is powered on.
The remote control offers several features for managing the fireplace:
For the cooking plate, it has 5 levels of heating, with a maximum output of 1000W. When the cooking plate is in use, the stove's heat function automatically reduces to "Low Heat" to prevent the total power from exceeding 2300W. It is important to use only the cooking plate provided by Westbo.
Safety precautions are integrated into the design and usage guidelines. The fireplace should not be installed directly on carpets or similar surfaces that might obstruct air circulation. Hot air outlets require a 30 cm clearance from the front and 10 cm from the sides and back to prevent items like bedding, clothing, or paper from overheating. The device should not be placed in humid environments. Cables should not be laid under carpets or flammable materials. Extra care should be taken when the fireplace is used near patients or children. A well-grounded and fused socket is mandatory. The device includes an overheat protection function that automatically cuts off power if heating components become too hot due to covered air inlets. After an 8-minute cooling period, the unit can be restarted. When using the cooking plate, the pot's bottom diameter should not exceed 13 cm, and it should not be left unattended to prevent hazards from boiling water overflowing or prolonged dry burning.
Maintenance guidelines are provided to ensure the proper functioning and longevity of the Westbo Carl. If the product does not turn on normally, users should first check if the power input socket and plug are firmly connected and if there is power to the socket. Since the electric fireplace is controlled by an infrared remote, checking the remote-control battery (CR2025) is also recommended.
If the product does not heat normally, it could be due to the overheating protection system. In such cases, the system will turn off the heater. Users should turn off the heater, check for any blocked air intake and exhaust, and then unplug the heater. After allowing it to cool completely, plugging it back in will reset the system, and the heater can then be turned on again.
The product comes with a one-year warranty from the date of purchase. To claim the warranty, users are required to provide the purchase receipt. The device conforms to technical standards, and an inspector's signature is included in the guarantee card.
