RANGEHOODS
Rangehoods and overhead exhaust fans must be installed according to manufacturers’
instructions. Rangehoods should be installed not lower than 650mm above the cooktop.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS FOR GAS COOKERS
A cooker should not be installed in any room which has a volume less than 5.6 cubic metres.
If the room is between 5.6 cubic metres and 11.2 cubic metres in volume, provision must be
made for permanent ventilation.
Above 11.2 cubic metres volume, no special provision needs to be made unless other gas burn-

installed in a cellar or a basement. The manufacturer does not accept damage caused directly or
indirectly by failure to comply with the above.
