The air vents, protected by grilles, must be the right size to comply with current regulations and positioned so that no part of them is obstructed, not even partially.

The room must be kept adequately ventilated in order to eliminate the heat and humidity produced by cooking: In particular, after prolonged use, you are recommended to open a window or to increase the speed of any fans.

Extraction of the combustion products

SMEG PGF64-4 - Extraction of the combustion products - 1

This appliance is not connected to an exhaust system for combustion products. It must be installed and connected in compliance with the current installation regulations. Special attention should be paid to the relevant requirements as for ventilation.

The combustion products may be extracted by means of hoods connected to a natural draught chimney whose efficiency is certain or via forced extraction. An efficient extraction system requires precision planning by a specialist qualified in this area and must comply with the positions and clearances indicated by the applicable standards.

When the job is complete, the installer must issue a certificate of conformity.
