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

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

This model offers 85% efficiency, one of the highest in the range, meaning it makes excellent use of the energy from burned wood. The main difference from the non-ventilated model is that this unit features two low-consumption fans that help distribute heat faster and more evenly throughout the room.

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

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

Both options have the same performance and quality.

A window to the fire

The door frame is positioned behind the glass, with the sides angled inwards. This allows you to see much more fire and much less metal. The closing system has two positions: you can leave the door slightly open during lighting so the glass doesn't fog up, without needing to leave it fully open.

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

Clean combustion and glass always transparent

The unit features a double flue extraction system that directs hot air over the glass. This prevents soot from sticking, keeping the glass clean for longer. Additionally, the combustion chamber is deep, concentrating embers in the centre and preventing ash from escaping the hearth.

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

• Less wood consumption to achieve the same temperature.
• Lower emissions of pollutants.
• Greater savings on heating.

Intelligent ventilation system

This model includes two direct current fans that consume very little electricity (maximum 26 W) and are especially quiet. The system works completely automatically:

• Starts automatically when the fireplace body reaches 55°C (you don't need to do anything).
• Shuts off automatically when the temperature drops below 55°C.
• Stops when the door opens so it doesn't draw in smoke, and resumes when the door closes.
• Two speeds to choose from: position 1 (slow and very quiet) or position 2 (fast and powerful).

Thanks to the aluminium heat exchangers, the air pushed by the fans heats up faster and with greater efficiency.

Why choose the ventilated version?

• Heat reaches further within the same room.
• Temperature becomes uniform (no cold and hot zones).
• You can connect hot air ducts (optional) to distribute heat to adjacent rooms.
• Ideal for medium or large rooms or with high ceilings.

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

• Ash pan accessible from the front: Remove ash quickly and comfortably.
• Removable filter: Protects the fans and electronics from dust; easily removed and cleaned.
• Removable air distributors: Extracted without tools for thorough cleaning.

Versatile installation

The combustion air inlet can be connected:

• From the rear (exterior air inlet).
• From the bottom (exterior air inlet).
• From the front (room air inlet).

The feet are adjustable to level the unit easily. The finishing frames are included in the price and you can choose between:

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