Positioning for gas cooktop
The following requirements must be observed:
a) The room must be fitted with a ventilation system which ventilate smoke and
gases from combustion to the outside of rooms.
This must be done by hood or electric ventilator.
In a chimney stack or branched flue.
(exclusively for cooking appliances)
b) The room must be allowed for the influx of the air which for proper combustion.
The air flow for combustion purposes must not less than 70.6 cu ft/h per kW of
installed capacity. The air supply will be effected by influx from the outside
through a duct, its inner cross section is at least 6.1 cu in and must not be
blocked accidentally.
The gas cooktop without safety devices, to prevent flame go out accidentally,
must have a ventilation working on twice volume. For example, a minimum of
12.2 cu in(Fig. 3). Otherwise, the room can be vented indirectly through
adjacent rooms which is fitted with ventilation ducts to the outside. Al though
the adjacent rooms are not shared areas, bedrooms, but fire risk is hidden
(Fig. 4).

for comburent air.
c) Intensive and prolonged working of the gas cooktop that need to intensify
ventilation, e.g. opening windows or increasing the power of the air intake
system(if present).
d) Liquefied petroleum gases are heavier than air, so settle it downward. Rooms
in which LPG tanks are installed must be fitted with ventilation to the outside to
avoid of gas leakage.
Therefore, LPG tanks which are empty or partially full, must not be installed or
stored in rooms or spaces below ground level(cellars etc.). It is a good idea to
keep only the tank which is working currently in the room, and make sure that it
is not closed to heating source(ovens, fireplaces, stoves, etc.).
