Product Description

Celsi Electristove VR Rochester Electric Stove

Model: CEVRSRRE

Enjoy the traditional appearance of a solid-fuel stove without a chimney, gas supply or stored fuel with the Celsi Electristove VR Rochester Electric Stove. Its strong steel body, curved door and large viewing window create a classic stove appearance.

Celsi Electriflame Virtual Reality technology projects the flame effect across the front, centre and rear of the fuel bed. As a result, the display gains greater depth than a standard flat-screen electric stove.

Silver-birch-style logs sit above crystal ash embers to complete the fuel-bed display. Furthermore, thermostatic heating, a remote handset and a seven-day timer make the Rochester practical as well as attractive.

Traditional Stove Appearance

The Rochester recreates the strong proportions and curved door of a traditional solid-fuel stove. Its black painted-steel body suits fireplaces, chimney breasts and suitable hearth-style settings.

However, the Rochester runs entirely on electricity. Therefore, it does not need stored logs, a gas supply or a working flue.

Optional decorative flue-pipe components can complete the stove appearance where required. These accessories do not carry fumes and do not form a working chimney.

Electriflame Virtual Reality Technology

Many standard electric stoves display flames on a flat screen at the rear. In contrast, the Rochester creates flame effects across several areas of the fuel bed.

Celsi projects the flame illusion towards the front, centre and rear of the display. As a result, the flames appear to move through and around the logs rather than remaining on one flat plane.

This layered approach adds depth and helps recreate the appearance of a natural log fire.

Silver Birch Logs and Crystal Embers

The Rochester includes a silver-birch-style log set and crystal ash embers. The light-coloured logs provide a strong contrast against the darker stove body.

The crystal embers reflect the LED lighting and add detail beneath the logs. Furthermore, you can adjust their arrangement to personalise the fuel-bed display.

Alternative compatible log sets may be available separately. However, always confirm compatibility before ordering.

Single and Dual-Colour Flames

The stove can display a traditional flame effect or add a blue flame layer. Therefore, you can choose a warm natural appearance or create a more contemporary dual-colour display.

The manual blue-flame control switches the extra colour effect on or off. In addition, four flame-brightness levels let you adjust the intensity of the display.

Flame-Only Operation

You can use the flame and fuel-bed effects without switching on the heater. Therefore, the Rochester can remain an attractive feature throughout the year.

The energy-saving LED system also uses much less power than the heating element. As a result, you can enjoy the visual display when additional room heat is not required.

Heat Output and Thermostatic Control

The Celsi Rochester provides a heat output from 1kW to 2kW. You can select low heat, high heat or heater-off operation.

The electronic thermostat lets you select a room temperature between 16°C and 30°C. The heater then operates when the room temperature falls below the chosen setting.

Therefore, the stove can reduce unnecessary heating while helping to keep a suitable room comfortable.

The Rochester provides supplementary warmth. However, it should not replace a correctly sized main heating system where full-room or whole-home heating is required.

Seven-Day Timer

The multifunction handset includes a seven-day timer. You can programme up to three heating periods for each day.

Therefore, the stove can switch on and off at selected times throughout the week. This feature helps match the heating pattern to your daily routine.

The switch-off time must sit at least 30 minutes after the programmed switch-on time.

Adaptive-Start Control

Adaptive start works alongside the programmed timer. The stove compares the current room temperature with your chosen target temperature.

If the room is cooler than required, the Rochester can start heating up to ten minutes before the programmed time. As a result, the room has a better chance of reaching the selected temperature on schedule.

Remote and Manual Controls

The supplied remote handset controls the heat setting, thermostat, flame brightness, timer and adaptive-start functions.

Alternatively, use the manual controls located beneath the upper canopy on the right-hand side. These controls provide power, standby, flame, heater and blue-flame functions.

The blue-flame effect operates from the manual control panel. Therefore, you may need to use the controls on the stove when changing this setting.

Installation Requirements

The Rochester is designed for indoor domestic installation. Although it has a traditional stove shape, the manufacturer states that it must remain securely fixed according to the installation instructions.

Do not use the appliance as an unsecured freestanding stove.

Maintain at least 50mm of clearance from combustible and non-combustible materials around the stove. This space helps ventilation and allows the appliance to operate correctly.

Installation Guidance

• Read the complete Celsi instructions before installation
• Check the overall dimensions and available space
• Secure the stove according to the manufacturer’s instructions
• Do not use it as an unsecured freestanding appliance
• Maintain at least 50mm clearance around the stove
• Keep the appliance away from damp and moisture
• Install it indoors only
• Keep the warm-air inlet and outlet clear
• Keep the plug or electrical isolation point accessible
• Do not install the heater immediately below a socket
• Do not use an extension lead
• Do not connect it through an external timer or smart plug
• Use a 13A fused switched spur if connecting directly to the mains
• Make sure the electrical supply can handle a 2000W load
• Make sure the appliance is correctly earthed
• Arrange fixed electrical work through a qualified electrician

Electrical and Operating Safety

Keep curtains, furniture and other combustible items at least one metre from the front of the stove. In addition, never cover the heater or block its air inlets and outlets.

The Rochester includes an automatic thermal cut-out. If the appliance overheats, this device switches off the heating element while the fan continues to cool the stove.

If overheating continues, switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the electrical supply. Then check that dust or another object has not blocked the warm-air openings.

Stop using the stove if its cable, plug or another component becomes damaged. Contact Celsi or a suitably qualified technician for assistance.

Cleaning and Maintenance

First, switch off the stove and disconnect it from the electrical supply. Next, allow it to cool completely.

Remove light dust with a soft, dry cloth. You can clean the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth. However, dry the stove before operating it again.

Household glass cleaner can be used on the viewing glass. Nevertheless, avoid abrasive pads, detergents and strong cleaning chemicals on the body and decorative surfaces.

Also remove dust from the heater inlet and outlet regularly. This simple maintenance supports safe operation and helps preserve the stove’s appearance.

Three-Year Manufacturer’s Warranty

The Celsi Electristove VR Rochester comes with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty, subject to BFM Europe’s terms and conditions.

For UK purchases, the current warranty includes 12 months’ parts and labour cover followed by a further 24 months’ parts-only cover.

Keep your proof of purchase and report any fault promptly. Correct installation, normal domestic use and suitable maintenance may also affect warranty cover.

Why Choose the Celsi Rochester Electric Stove?
