I bought a cooker from a well know hih street store and paid for the cooker to be deliver and installed.
I did everything it said to do in the manual ie ensure adequate space etc only to be told that my kitchen have inadequate ventilation! Because I enjoy an outhouse (covered area) outside my back door and no kitcehn window that open they refused to install the cooker!
Nothing was mentioned more or less thses issues in the guide book of things requred when buying gas cooker. I'm now lacking a cooker!
I have to either go and get a ventilation fan fitted surrounded by my back door (impossible!) and also my garden gate.
I fall short to understand this problem as my outhouse has drying! The gates have nouns spaces.
Answers: You need ventilation direct to outside for a cooker. If a conservatory is built on the final of a kitchen that can leave it as an internal space with no space to outside. In those circumstances you can have an extractor fan of a specified rate( not sure what it is lacking looking it up) linked to light switch near timed overrun that extracts to outside with purpose gaps below the door to allow air to be sucked back within. There are a few other alternatives that you could consult CORGI on.
Installing a cooker without the correct ventilation would form it "At Risk" . which would be illegal for any Corgi Registered engineer to do and unstop you up to the potential of carbon monoxide poisoning
You don't need a fan at adjectives, just a ventilation grill next to minimum free air of 100 sq cm through to the outhouse, which could be fitted in the door or the wall. The installation manufacture would be breaking the gas safety regs if he fitted your cooker without ensure you have an openable outside window or so-so ventilation (but I'm surprised he didn't give you a quote to fit appropriate freshening.) try calling out another company to install it and show them where the ventilation is contained by the outhouse, alternatively, you may have to send the cooker vertebrae or sell it on, (look through the terms and conditions) and win an electric one, but if you are anything like me, i take pity on you, i really do not approaching cooking with an electric cooker
