Room ventilation
All rooms require a window that can be
opened, or equivalent, and some rooms will
require a permanent vent in addition.
Air for combustion is drawn from the room
and the exhaust gases are emitted directly
into the room, therefore good room
ventilation is essential for the safe operation
of your appliance. If there is no window or
door available for room ventilation, extra
ventilation must be installed.
The appliance may be located in a kitchen,
kitchen/diner or a bed-sitting room, but not in
a room containing a bath or shower. The
appliance must not be installed in a bed-
sitting room of less than 20m
3
.
Do not install this appliance in a room below
ground level unless it is open to ground level
on at least one side.
