A combination of secondary heat retention glazing and combustion air jets as well as air flow diversion help to keep the internal temperatures high, which results in a more complete combustion of the gases produced by the fuel.

If you use fuels that are not authorised, you could be fined up to PS1,000 per hour due to the amount of particles released into the air.

This is accomplished by a new clean-burn system that has been upgraded to include an air-pre-heated supply which is introduced into the combustion chamber through channels and jets over the fire.
