Suitable location
A gas-powered cooking appliance produces heat
and humidity in the area in which it is installed. For
this reason you should ensure good ventilation either
by keeping all natural air passages open or by in-
stalling an extractor hood with an exhaust flue (Fig.
3-4). Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance
may require extra ventilation, such the opening of
a window or an increase in speed of the electric fan,
if you have one.

If a hood cannot be installed, an electric fan
should be fitted to an outside wall or window as
long there are air vents in the area.
The electric fan should be able to carry out a com-
plete change of air in the kitchen 3-5 times every
hour.
The installer should follow the relavant national
standards.
