Just bought a Hotpoint GC604IX Gas Hob for installation by gas fitter and on reading the "blurb" I noticed it requires an extractor fan???
Reads as follows........
"This unit may be installed and used only in permanently ventilated rooms in accordance with current national guidelines.
The following requirements must be observed.
The room must be equipped with an air extraction system that expels any combustion fumes.
This may consist of a hood or electric fan that automatically starts each time the appliance is used.
The room must allow proper air circulation and the flow of air must not be less than 2m3/h per kW of installed power"
Do I really have to get an outside extractor fitted as I've used this large two windowed dining kitchen with a gas cooker for the last 40 years without any problems!
Should that be the case I'd rather bin the gas hob and get an electric one which I can fit myself and I assume it does not require industrial ventilation to boil an egg
or does it ?
I don't even have any central heating in my flat.......
Any advice would be most appreciated,
thanks.
