Part 2.
The room must have an opening window or equivalent; some rooms may also require a
permanent vent. If the room has a volume between 5 and 10 m

effective area unless it has a door which opens directly to outside. If the room has
a volume of less than 5m

NOTE:
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture
in the room in which it is installed. Always ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated; keep
natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device (fig 2).
In particular, when using the grill or more than one hotplate burner, open a window if a
mechanical ventilation device is not operating (fig. 3).
