Normal adventitious ventilation is usually sufficient to satisfy the ventilation
requirements of this appliance. In GB reference should be made to BS 5440 Part 2
and in IE reference should be made to the current edition of IS 813 "Domestic gas
Installations" which makes clear the conditions that must be met to demonstrate that
sufficient ventilation is available.

5.3 The Atmosphere sensing device (ASD).

The appliance is fitted with an A.S.D (Atmosphere sensing device). If the appliance
closes down after a period of operation for no apparent reason, the consumer should
be informed to stop using the appliance until the installation and appliance have been
thoroughly checked. The A.S.D will shut the appliance down if an unacceptable
amount of harmful products of combustion accumulate. Under no circumstances
should the A.S.D be altered or bypassed in any way. Only genuine manufacturer's
replacement parts should be fitted.

5.4 Room considerations.

5.4.1 The appliance must not be installed in any room, which contains a bath, or
shower or where steam is regularly present.
