Keep all natural air-vents open or have a mechanical ventilation system ins-
talled (a mechanically ventilated hood).
- Prolonged, intensive use of the hob may require extra ventilation; by ope-
ning a window for example or producing more efficient ventilation by increasing
the power of the existing mechanical ventilation (a minimum air input of
2m3/hour per kW of gas energy is required.)
E.g. : for a 60 cm hob with 2 gas-rings
Total power: 1,5 + 3,1 = 4,5 kW.
4,5 kW x 2 = 9 m
