IMPORTANT - SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be installed in accordance with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations
Current Editions and the I.E.E. Wiring Regulations. Detailed recommendations are contained in the

PROVISION FOR VENTILATION
This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It shall be installed and
connected in accordance with current installation regulations. Particular attention shall be given to the
relevant requirements regarding ventilation.
The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with BS.5440: Part 2 Current
Edition. 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 100 cm² is required; for room volumes between
5m³ and 10m³ an air vent of 50cm² is required. If the room has a door that opens directly to the outside,
no air vent is required. For room volumes that exceed 11m³ no air vent is required. If there are other
fuel burning appliances in the same room, BS.5440: Part 2 Current Edition should be consulted to
determine the requisite air vent requirements.
If your cooker is in use over a long period of time you may need additional ventilation in your kitchen.
This can be achieved by opening a window or, if an external fan or cooker hood is fitted, switching this on
or to a higher setting.
