About this model

The SimpliFire Forum 43 brings a wide electric flame display to a porch, patio or indoor gathering space without a heater. Four flame effects, adjustable brightness and colorful ember-bed lighting create atmosphere without gas lines, propane tanks or wood.

Its coated components, corrosion-resistant materials and UV-resistant logs are designed for outdoor installations with proper flashing and drainage. Included logs and crystal media provide different looks, with optional ShadowGlo HD log upgrades listed by the manufacturer.

Washburn’s can help plan the framed enclosure, electrical supply and water-management details. Photos may show optional logs and separately supplied finishes.

Standard features

Heater-free electric flame display with four flame colors, adjustable brightness and 13 ember-bed colors plus a rotating-color mode. Remote control and two AAA batteries are included.

Corrosion-resistant materials, coated components and UV-resistant logs support outdoor use when installed correctly.

Included 12-piece log set, two bags of small clear crystals, three bags of black embers, 12 large crystals, self-trimming front, mounting hardware and suction cup. A GFCI power cord ships attached, ready for a suitable outlet.

Required components

A framed enclosure, electrical supply, suitable finishing materials and weather-management details are required. The Forum can be used indoors or outdoors but is not waterproof.

Outdoor installations require flashing, sealant and a drainage path beneath the appliance to the exterior. Avoid standing water and excessive water flow. A drain pan may be necessary for the selected site.

Outdoor hardwired installation requires a minimum 15 A, 120 V, 60 Hz GFCI circuit. Electrical work, framing, drainage and finishing are separately provided.

Optional features and accessories

Optional model-matched drain pan: SF-OD43-DP. The drain-pan instructions specify a 1/4 in per foot enclosure slope toward drainage; level the appliance as directed.

The official Forum listing offers ShadowGlo HD Alpine Timber and Natural Birch log sets as upgrades. Confirm the applicable current kit for outdoor use; the older linked ShadowGlo instructions list other appliance models and are not presented here as a Forum installation manual.

Technical notes

This is a SimpliFire decorative outdoor electric fireplace with no heat output. It does not require gas, propane, wood or combustion venting.

The enclosure must carry the full appliance weight and shed water. Use the specified mounting bushings and washers to maintain ingress protection. Weather-resistant construction does not make the appliance waterproof.

Finish thickness limits vary between built-in overlap and recessed installation. The manual allows up to 5/8 in with front trim for the illustrated overlap method, and up to 2-1/4 in for the illustrated recessed method; use the exact diagrams for final construction.

Flame visibility is strongest in lower ambient light. Direct sunlight and bright reflections can reduce the effect. Photos may show optional logs and separately supplied stone, cabinetry or other room materials.

The official series price is not verified for this specific size and configuration. Request a quote for the product, installation, electrical work, drainage, finishing, delivery and tax.
