Provision of Ventilation
The use of a gas cooking appliance results in a production of heat and moisture in the room in
which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes
open or install a mechanical ventilation device, (mechanical extractor hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example
opening a window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical
ventilation where present.
The room containing the cooker should have an air supply in accordance with local and
national/European standards.

This appliance must be positioned free from draughts, which may affect the combustion, and in
a manner that will prevent the accumulation of unburnt gas. When in use ensure that air vents
are not inadvertently blocked or shut off.
The burners on the appliance have fixed aeration and no adjustment is required. The burners
should flame as follows:-
Propane -
The flames should burn quietly with a blue/green colour with no sign of yellow
tips.
Butane - Normally on initial lighting, a small amount of yellow tipping will occur and then
slightly increases as the burner heats up.
