entering the room which is potentially dangerous.

— Purpose provided ventilation.
— Some Stovax appliances can also be fitted with an
optional outdoor air kit which allows air to be drawn in
from the outside.
The amount of air required must comply with local building
regulations and the rules in force.
If spillage is detected during commissioning then there may be
insufficient natural ventilation and an additional air supply will be
necessary.
Permanent air vents should be non-adjustable and positioned
where they are unlikely to be become blocked.

room or space as this can cause the appliance to emit fumes into
