the appliance are compatible. The adjust
-
ment conditions are stated on the data

attention shall be given to the relevant
requirements regarding ventilation.
In your own interest and that of safety,
it is the law that all gas appliances be

Ventilation requirements
The use of a gas cooking appliance re-
sults in the production of heat and mois-
ture in the room in which it is installed.
Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated:
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, for example, open-
ing of a window, or more effective venti-
lation, for example increasing the level of
mechanical ventilation where present.
The room containing the appliance should
have an air supply in accordance with BS
5440: Part 2: 1989:
All rooms require an openable window, or
equivalent, and some rooms will require a
permanent vent as well.
For room volumes up to 5m³ an air vent
of 100cm² is required.
If the room has a door that opens directly
to the outside, or the room exceeds
10m³, NO AIR VENT is required.
For room volumes between 5m³
and
10m³ an air vent of 50cm² is required.
If there are other fuel burning appliances
in the same room, BS 5440: Part 2: 1989
should be consulted to determine the air
vent requirements.
This appliance must not be installed in a
bed sitting room of less than 20m³ or in
a bathroom or shower room.
Windows and permanent vents should
therefore not be blocked or removed
without first consulting a GAS SAFE gas
installer.
