Ventilation
The room containing the cooker should
have an air supply in accordance with B.S.
5440: Part 2: Current Editions.
The following requirements for ventilation
must be met.
The cooker should not be installed in a bed
sitting room with a volume of less than
20m3, if it is installed in a room of volume
less 5m3 an air vent of effective area of
110cm2 is required; if it is installed in a room
of volume between 5m3 and 10m3, an air
vent of effective area 50cm2 is required,
while if the volume exceeds 11m3 no air vent
is required. However, if the room has a
door, which opens directly to the outside, no
air vent is required even when the volume is
between 5m3 and 11m3.
If there are other fuel burning appliances in
the same room, B.S. 5440: Part. 2: Current
Editions should be consulted to determine
the requisite air vent requirements.

kitchen/diner or bed sitting room but not in a
