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:
(Fig. 2) 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:
(Fig. 2) 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 cm
2 per kW with a minimum cross-sectional area of 100
cm 2 (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 m
3
/h per
kW of power installed.
