Some rooms will also be required to install a permanent vent in addition to a window
(see table below).

The above requirements allow also for use of a gas hob but if there are other fuel
burning appliances in the same room, BS5440: 1976 should be consulted to
determine the necessary air vent requirements.
The oven is designed to fit into a cabinet of 600 mm width.
The oven can be built in or built under the kitchen units, but you must ensure that it is
properly ventilated.
In the diagram the built in oven is ventilated by means of a space at the top of the
kitchen cabinet. There are many other methods of ventilating your oven.
Consult a qualified engineer for advice.
IMPORTANT:
If the oven is being installed into a built under oven housing unit ensure
that the front rail at the top of the unit is not installed as it will restrict ventilation.
