There is a building regulation that covers the proximity of gas cookers/hobs to doors & opening windows(draughts blowing the flames or things onto the flames). I am not sure if it applies to electric cookers or not but suspect it probably does due to the heat source , but someone will give you a definitive answer no doubt.
