The use of a gas cooking appliance results in the production of
heat, moisture and products of combustion in the room in which
it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated especially
when the appliance is in use: 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 opening of a window, or more
effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.

Ensure shelving is correctly installed, see the sections on shelf
