INSTALLATION OF THE OVEN

The regulations covering the installation,

maintenance and operation of gas appliances for

domestic use are applicable 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 of the room

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:

x 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),

x Situated at the bottom of an external wall,

preferably opposite the wall on which

combustion products are extracted,

x 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.
