Important: Disconnect the appliance from the electrical supply before performing any maintenance or regulation upkeep work. Positioning the Cooktop Important: this unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with National Standard Current Editions. The following requirements must be observed: a) The room must be fitted with a ventilation system which vents smoke and gases from combustion to the outside. This must be done by means of a hood or electric ventilator that turns on automatically each time the hood is operated. B) The room must also allow for the influx of the air needed for proper combustion. The flow of air for combustion purposes must not be less than 2 m3/h per kW of installed capacity. The supply of said air can be effected by means of direct influx from the outside through a duct with a inner cross section of at least 100 cm3 which must not be able to be accidentally blocked. Those appliances which are not fitted with a safety device to prevent the flame from accidentally going out must have a ventilation opening twice the size otherwise required, i. Otherwise, the room can be vented indirectly through adjacent rooms fitted with ventilation ducts to the outside as described above, as long as the adjacent rooms are not shared areas, bedrooms or present the risk of fire (Fig. Enlarging the ventilation slot between window and floor. (exclusively for cooking appliances) Directly to the Outside Fig. B c) Intensive and prolonged use of the appliance may necessitate supplemental ventilation, e. Opening a window or increasing the power of the air intake system (if present). 22 d) Liquidified petroleum gases are heavier than air and, as a result, settle downwards.

Therefore, GPB-B tanks, whether empty or partially full, must not be installed or stored in rooms or spaces below ground level (cellars, ect.
