A flame that moves like a real fire
The firebox is angled and the burner sits under a bed of ceramic beads, so flames rise up through the logs rather than in a flat row along the front.
Clean edges, a large viewing window, and a flame that behaves like a real one.
The DFS740 is the compact member of Escea’s DFS series. It suits smaller living rooms, open-plan corners, and homes replacing an old freestanding wood heater, because the flue can run straight up through the existing penetration or out sideways through a wall.
It is room-sealed, so it draws combustion air from outside and sends every bit of exhaust back out. Nothing from the fire enters the room except warmth. The 4mm steel console stays cool enough to touch and the glass does not fog.
- Runs on natural gas, LPG or ULPG
- Powered direct-vent flue, vertical or horizontal
- Four fuel beds, included
- SmartHeat wifi app and remote control included
- Zero-clearance rated: no hearth needed
- Optional glass-reinforced concrete plinth
What sets it apart
Warm room, cool console
Room-sealed and direct-vented, so no draughts, no smell, no fogged glass. The steel body stays cool enough that a chair, a child or a dog can sit beside it.
Set the temperature from the couch, or the car
SmartHeat wifi app and remote included. Hold a set temperature, run timers, switch to flame-only on mild nights. Works with Google Home and Alexa.
Stand it where you want it
Zero-clearance rated for timber floors, plinths and corners. The flue runs up, sideways or down and along, which is what makes wood-heater replacements straightforward.
