Risk of asphyxiation!
The use of a gas cooker leads to a build-up
of heat, moisture and products of
combustion in the room where the
appliance is installed. Ensure that the
installation room is well ventilated. The
natural ventilation openings must be kept
open or a mechanical ventilation device
must be provided (e.g. an extractor hood).
Intensive and persistent use of the
appliance may mean that it is necessary to
have additional ventilation (e.g. opening a
window), or more effective ventilation (e.g.
operating the existing mechanical
ventilation device at a higher setting).
