PROVISION FOR VENTILATION

This appliance is not connected to a combustion products evacuation device. It shall be installed and
connected in accordance with the current installation regulations. Particular attention shall be given to
the relevant requirements regarding ventilation.
The room containing the appliance should have an air supply in accordance with BS. 5440: Part 2
Current Edition. All rooms require an openable window or equivalent and some rooms will require a
permanent vent as well. For room volumes up to 5m³ an air vent of 100cm² is required: for room
volumes between 5m³ and 10m³ an air vent of 50cm² is required. If the room has a door that opens
directly to the outside, no air vent is required. For room volumes that exceed 11m³ no air vent is
required. If there are other fuel burning appliances in the same room, BS.5440: Part 2 Current Edition
should be consulted to determine the requisite air vent requirements.
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, for example opening a
window, or more effective ventilation, for example increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
