The range hood, when evacuating air, could generate a negative pressure in the room- which
should not exceed the limit of 0.04 mbar, in order to avoid drawing exhaust fumes deriving from
other non-electric heat-sources. Therefore, the room should have air intakes to allow a constant
flow of fresh air.
