GAS
It is hygiene because it venti- lates.
The gas fire changes the air in a room imperceptibly, without draught or unwanted variation of temperature.
It is hygienic because it can be instantly and accurately re gulated to achieve any desired température.
It is hygienic because it creates no dirt or shes to befoul the room, and no smoke to pollute the atmosphere and ng keep out the sunlight.
