When a gas cooker is being used it produces heat
and humidity in the room where it is installed.
For this reason the room must be well ventilated,
keeping the natural ventilation openings free
and switching on the mechanical aeration
system see «VENTILATION and LOCATION
AND AERATION» paragraph )If the cooker is
used for a long time additional aeration may be
necessary, for instance, opening a window, or a
more effective aeration by increasing the power
of the mechanical system if there is one.
