CHOOSING SUITABLE

SURROUNDINGS

In the room chosen to accommodate the

gas appliance, there must be an ade-

quate natural draft to allow combustion

of the gas.

The natural draft must be produced

directly by one or more vents made in

the external walls and providing a total

opening of at least 100 cm

2

.

The vents must be positioned close to

the floor, preferably on the opposite side

to the combustion discharge outlet and

must be designed in such a way that

they cannot be obstructed either from

the inside or the outside.

When it is not possible to provide the

necessary vents, the draft may be sup-

plied from an adjacent room, ventilated

in the required manner, provided it is not

a bedroom or an area at risk.

In this event, the door of the kitchen

must be opened to allow the draft to

enter the room.

There must be a distance of at least

650 mm between the hob of the cook-

er and any wall cupboard or extractor

hood positioned immediately above (see

fig. 7.9).

Installation technicians must com-

ply to current laws in force concern-

ing ventilation and the evacuation of

exhaust gases.

Intensive and prolonged use may

require extra ventilation, e.g. opening

a window, or more efficient ventilation

increasing the mechanical suction

power if this is fitted.

DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF

COMBUSTION

Extractor hoods connected directly to

the outside must be provided, to allow

the products of combustion of the gas

appliance to be discharged (fig. 7.9).

If this is not possible, an electric fan

may be used, attached to the external

wall or the window; the fan should have

a capacity to circulate air at an hourly

rate of 3-5 times the total volume of the

kitchen (fig. 7.10).

The fan can only be installed if the

room has suitable vents to allow air to

enter, as described under the heading

“Choosing suitable surroundings”.
