Ultra-Realistic 3D Water Vapor Flame Technology
The Bio Flame WT-98 creates its flame presentation with ultrasonic water vapor technology rather than burning wood, gas, or ethanol.
Water vapor works together with LED illumination to produce an ultra-realistic 3D flame effect without actual combustion.
Because the WT-98 is designed around a decorative water vapor flame system, it produces no heat, smoke, or emissions.

7 Adjustable Flame Colors
Choose from seven flame colors to suit the surrounding interior, atmosphere, or design preference.
5 Flame-Height Levels
Five adjustable flame-height levels allow the visual intensity and prominence of the flame effect to be changed.
Adjustable Vapor Density
The manufacturer's operating instructions provide controls for increasing and decreasing flame regulation and fine adjustment of vapor density.
Built-In Ventless Fireplace Design
The WT-98 is designed as a built-in ventless water vapor fireplace. Its flame effect is created without the combustion process associated with traditional wood-, gas-, or ethanol-burning fireplaces.
Smart Home & Fireplace Controls
The WT-98 includes built-in Wi-Fi and remote control and provides several options for operating the fireplace.

Bio Flame WT-98 Water Vapor Fireplace FAQs
Does the Bio Flame WT-98 produce heat?
No. The Bio Flame WT-98 is a decorative water vapor fireplace that does not produce heat; choose a heat-producing fireplace instead if supplemental room heating is required.
Does the Bio Flame WT-98 require venting?
No traditional fireplace venting is required because the WT-98 creates its flame effect with ultrasonic water vapor rather than combustion. Do not block the required air intake at the bottom of the fireplace niche.
What are the Bio Flame WT-98 cutout dimensions?
The manufacturer lists the WT98 cutout at 2395 mm long × 180 mm wide × 250 mm deep. Do not use the fireplace's 2490 × 193 × 168 mm overall dimensions as the cutout dimensions.
Does the Bio Flame WT-98 require a water line?
No permanent water-line connection is required when using the manual filling system; the WT-98 also supports a direct water connection. Follow the manufacturer filling instructions for the selected water-supply method.
Does the Bio Flame WT-98 work with Alexa and Google Home?
Yes. The WT-98 has built-in Wi-Fi and supports Amazon Alexa and Google Home in addition to remote-control and smartphone-app operation.
Can the Bio Flame WT-98 be installed outdoors?
The manufacturer describes the burner as designed for indoor use and states that outdoor use must be protected from humid environments, rain, and water. Do not install the WT-98 where it will be directly exposed to weather or moisture.
What is the Bio Flame WT-98 water tank capacity?
The supplied WT98 information does not provide a model-specific water-tank capacity. Do not infer the tank size from smaller Bio Flame water vapor fireplace models.
How long does the Bio Flame WT-98 run before needing water?
A WT98-specific operating time was not provided in the supplied product information. Do not use runtime figures from smaller models as WT98 specifications.
What electrical power does the Bio Flame WT-98 require?
The supplied WT98 information does not provide a model-specific electrical power rating. Confirm the required electrical specifications before completing electrical work.
Can the WT-98 fireplace niche be completely sealed?
