A combination of secondary heat-retaining glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion assist to keep the internal temperatures high, resulting in a more complete combustion of the gas produced by the fuel.

This is achieved with the new clean burn system that has been upgraded to include a new air supply that is inserted into the combustion chamber via jets and channels above the fire. The pre-heated gas is used to ignite the volatile gases produced by the fuel, resulting in a complete burn with fewer harmful emissions. It also introduces an air wash, or cushion of air that is directed at the glass, which gives you an improved view of the flames.
