Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system
installed (a mechanically ventilated hood).
- Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by
a window for example or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing the
power of the existing mechanical ventilation (a minimum air input of 2m3/hour
per kW of gas energy is required).
E.g. this hob :
Total power : 1,5 + 1,5 + 2,3 + 3,1 = 8,4 kW.
8,4 kW x 2 = 16,8 m

/h per hour minimum flow-rate.
- Using a gas-powered hob produces both heat and humidity in the room where it is used.
Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated.
- As a safety measure, after use do not forget to turn of main control valve for the mains
gas supply or the tap/valve on the butane or propane gas bottle.
