Important:
this unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms according to the British
Standards Codes Of Practice: B.S. 6172 / B.S. 5440, Par. 2 and B.S. 6891 Current Editions. The following
requirements must be observed:
a)
The room must be fitted with a ventilation system, which vents smoke and gases from combustion to
the outside.
This must be done by means of a hood or electric ventilator that turns on automatically each time the
hood is operated.
In a chimney stack or branched flue.
Directly to the Outside
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
b)
The room must also allow for the influx of the air needed for proper combustion. The flow of air for
combustion purposes must not be less than 2 m
³
/h per kW of installed capacity. The supply of said air
can be effected by means of direct influx from the outside through a duct with an inner cross section of
at least 100cm
²
which must not be able to be accidentally blocked. Those appliances which are not
fitted with a safety device to prevent the flame from accidentally going out must have a ventilation
opening twice the size otherwise required, i.e. a minimum of 200 cm
²
(Fig. 3). Otherwise, the room can
be vented indirectly through adjacent rooms fitted with ventilation ducts to the outside as described
above, as long as the adjacent rooms are not shared areas, bedrooms or present the risk of fire (Fig. 4).
