of combustion
This appliance is not connected to a
device to evacuate the combustion
products. This must be installed and
connected in conformity with the
installation rules in force. Pay special
care to room ventilation as well.
DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF
COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to
the outside must be provided, to allow
the products of combustion of the gas
appliance to be discharged (fig. 7.8).
If this is not possible, an electric fan may
be used, attached to the external wall or
the window; the fan should have a
capacity to circulate air at an hourly rate
of 3-5 times the total volume of the
kitchen (fig. 7.9).
The fan can only be installed if the room
has suitable vents to allow air to enter,
as described under the heading
“Choosing suitable surroundings”.
CHOOSING SUITABLE
SURROUNDINGS
In the room chosen to accommodate the
gas appliance, there must be an ade-
quate natural draft to allow combustion
of the gas.
The natural draft must be produced
directly by one or more vents made in
the external walls and providing a total
opening of at least 200 cm
2
.
The vents must be positioned close to the
floor, preferably on the opposite side to
the combustion discharge outlet and must
be designed in such a way that they can-
not be obstructed either from the inside or
the outside.
When it is not possible to provide the nec-
essary vents, the draft may be supplied
from an adjacent room, ventilated in the
required manner, provided it is not a bed-
room or an area at risk.
In this event, the door of the kitchen must
be opened to allow the draft to enter the
room.
There must be a distance of at least 650
mm between the hob of the cooker and
any wall cupboard or extractor hood posi-
tioned immediately above (see fig. 7.8).
