CHOOSING SUITABLE SURROUNDINGS
The room where the gas appliance is to be installed must have a natural flow of air
so that the gas can burn (in compliance with the current laws in force).
The flow of air must come directly from one or more openings made in the outside
2 walls with a free area of at least 100 cm .
If the appliance does not have a no-flame flame device this opening must have an
2 area of at least 200 cm .
The openings should be near the floor and preferably on the side opposite the
exhaust for combustion products and must be so made that they cannot be blocked
from either the outside or the inside.
When these openings cannot be made, the necessary air can come from an
adjacent room which is ventilated as required, as long as it is not a bedroom or a
danger area (in compliance with the current laws in force). In this case, the kitchen
door must allow the passage of the air.
DISCHARGING PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION
Extractor hoods connected directly to the outside must be provided, to allow the
products of combustion in the gas appliance to be discharged (fig. 19).
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. 20).
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” (in compliance with
the current laws in force).
