Ventilation requirements
oThe room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance with the current edition of BS 5440: Part 2:
o The room must have opening windows or equivalent; some rooms may also require a permanent vent.
oIf the room has a volume between 5 and 10m³, it will require an air vent of 50cm² (effective area). Unless it has a door which opens directly to the outside.
oIf the room has a volume of less than 5m³, it will require an air vent of 100cm² (effective area).
oIf there are any other fuel burning appliances in the same room the current edition of BS 5440: Part 2: should be consulted to determine air vent requirements.
oEnsure that the room containing the cooker is well ventilated, keep natural ventilation holes or install a mechanical ventilation device (mechanical cooker hood).
oProlonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, either by the opening of a window, or by increasing the level of the mechanical ventilation device (where present).
o This cooker is not fitted with a device for discharging the products of combustion. Ensure that the ventilation rules and regulations are followed.
oExcess steam from the oven, vents out at the top back edge of the cooker, so make sure that the walls behind and near the cooker are resistant to heat, steam and condensation.
oYour cooker must stand on a flat surface so that when it is in position the hob is level. When in position check that the cooker is level by using a spirit level and adjust the two feet at the rear and the two feet at the front if necessary.
oRemember that the quantity of air necessary for combustion must never be less than 2m³/h for each kW of power (see total power in kW on the appliance rating plate).
