INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
(positioning and ventilation requirements)
The regulations covering the installation, maintenance and operation of gas appliances for
domestic use are applicable regulations. An extract of these regulations appears below. For all
indications not covered, refer to the above-mentioned regulations.
POSITIONING:
The products of combustion from cooking appliances must
always be discharged into suitable extractor hoods, which must
be connected to a chimney, flue or vented directly to outside the
building. In situations where it is not possible to install an
extractor hood, an electric extractor fan installed in a window or
external wall may be used, provided that all requirements of the
ventilation regulations are satisfied; the fan should switch on
whenever the appliance is in operation.
VENTILATION:
It is essential that the room in which gas appliances are
installed is adequately ventilated to ensure that all the
appliances receive the required quantity of fresh air for
combustion. To ensure an adequate air flow, it may be
necessary to create apertures in accordance with the following
requirements:
a) with cross-sectional area of 6 cm2 per kW with a minimum
cross-sectional area of 100 cm2 (these apertures may also be
created by increasing the gap between the bottom of doors and
the floor);
b) situated at the bottom of an external wall, preferably opposite
the wall on which combustion products are extracted ;
c) the positions of the apertures should selected
so as to avoid the possibility of their being obstructed and, if
made in external walls, they must be protected with grilles,
metal meshes, etc. installed on the outside face of the wall.
If an electric extractor fan for the removal of foul air is installed
in the room, the apertures provided for air changes must allow a
ventilation rate of at least 35 m3/h per kW of power installed.
