Provision for Ventilation
•
The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with the latest version of BS5440.
•
All rooms require a window that opens or equivalent, while some rooms require a permanent vent in addition
to the window that opens.
•
The appliance should not be installed in a bed sitting room of volume less than 20 cubic metres.
•
If it is installed in a room of volume less than 5 cubic metres an air vent of effective area 100 square
centimetres is required.
•
If it is installed in a room of volume between 5 cubic metres and 10 cubic metres, an air vent of effective area
50 square centimetres is required, however, if the room has a door that opens directly to the outside, no air
vent is required even when the room volume is between 5 cubic metres and 10 cubic metres.
•
If the volume exceeds 10 cubic metres, no air vent is required.
Location
The hob should be located in a kitchen, a kitchen/diner or bed sitting room, but not in a bathroom, shower room
or garage.
Before making the cut out in the worktop ensure that there is a minimum distance of 55 mm between the rear
edge of the hob and the wall.
A minimum distance of 100 mm must be left between the side edges of the hob and any adjacent cabinets or
walls.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted above the hob in line with the edges of the hob is 400
mm.
If it is fitted below 400 mm, a space of 50 mm must be allowed from the edges of the hob.
The minimum distance combustible material can be fitted directly above the hob is 650 mm with a cooker hood
above and 750 mm without a cooker hood above.
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of heat, moisture and products of
combustion in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially
when the appliance is in use: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device (mechanical extractor hood). Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional
ventilation, e.g. opening of a window, or more effective ventilation, e.g. increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
