hood).
Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call
for additional ventilation, for example opening of a
window, or more effective ventilation, for example
increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where
present.
Prior to installation, ensure that the local distribution
conditions (nature of the gas and gas pressure)
and the adjustment of the appliance are compatible.

the protective plastic film present on some parts
of the appliance (facia-panel, parts in stainless
steel, etc.)

heating.
