INFIRE SMART 740 Wood-burning fireplace with ventilation BODART & GONAY

The INFIRE SMART 740 with ventilation is a wood-burning cassette designed for wall mounting, combining the warmth of a traditional fire with cutting-edge technology. It belongs to the new generation of equipment from Bodart & Gonay, a manufacturer with over 70 years of experience, and complies with stringent European regulations.

This model offers an 85% efficiency rating , one of the highest in its class, meaning it utilizes almost all the heat from the burning wood. The main difference from the non-vented model is that this unit incorporates two energy-efficient fans that help distribute heat more quickly and evenly throughout the room.

You can choose between a steel door or a glass door , both at the same price :

• Steel door: More traditional, robust and classic appearance.
• Glass door: Maximum view of the fire, more contemporary and clean style.

Both options have the same performance and quality.

A window to the fire

The door structure is located behind the glass , with the sides angled inwards. This allows you to see much more of the fire and much less metal. The locking system has two positions: you can leave the door slightly ajar during ignition to prevent the glass from fogging up, without needing to keep it fully open.

The fire view is 414 mm high by 654 mm wide, offering an immersive visual experience.

Clean combustion and always clear glass

The unit features a dual smoke extraction system that directs hot air onto the glass. This prevents soot from sticking, keeping the glass cleaner for longer. Additionally, the combustion chamber is deep, concentrating the embers in the center and preventing ashes from escaping the firebox.

With an efficiency of 85% , the SMART 740 makes excellent use of firewood energy. This means:

• Less wood consumption to achieve the same temperature.
• Fewer polluting emissions .
• Greater savings on heating.

Intelligent ventilation system

This model includes two DC fans that consume very little electricity (maximum 26 W) and are exceptionally quiet. The system operates fully automatically.

• It starts automatically when the chimney body reaches 55°C (you don't have to do anything).
• It turns off automatically when the temperature drops below 55°C.
• It stops when the door is opened to prevent it from inhaling fumes, and resumes when it is closed.
• Two speeds to choose from: position 1 (slow and very quiet) or position 2 (fast and powerful).

Thanks to the aluminum heat exchangers , the air pushed by the fans heats up faster and more efficiently.

Why choose the ventilated version?

• The heat reaches further within the same room.
• The temperature becomes uniform (without cold and hot areas).
• You can connect hot air ducts (optional) to bring heat to adjoining rooms.
• It is ideal for medium or large rooms or rooms with high ceilings.

Unlike the 600 and 680 models, the SMART 740 has a 180 mm diameter flue outlet (compared to 150 mm in the smaller models). This allows for better gas evacuation and more efficient draft, especially in larger chimneys.

• Ashtray accessible from the front: Remove ashes quickly and easily.
• Removable filter: Protects the fans and electronics from dust; it can be easily removed and cleaned.
• Removable air distributors: They can be removed without tools for thorough cleaning.

Versatile installation

The combustion air inlet can be connected:

• From the rear (outside air intake).
• From the bottom (outside air intake).
• From the front (air intake from the room itself).

The feet are adjustable for easy leveling. Finishing frames are included in the price, and you can choose from:

• 4mm thin frame: Minimalist, almost invisible finish.
• 30mm 3-sided frame: Frames the fire on three sides.
• 30mm 4-sided frame: Frames the fire on all four sides.
