Ventilation
The use of a cooking appliance results in the
production of heat and moisture in the room
in which it is installed. Therefore, make sure
that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural
ventilation holes open or install a powered
cookerhood that vents outside. If you have
several hotplates/burners on, or use the cooker
for a long time, open a window or turn on an
extractor fan
