Question
Can domestic gas cookers be installed near to openable doors or windows?
Answer
British Standard BS 6172 - Specification for Installation of domestic gas cooking appliances (2nd and 3rd family gases) advises that siting cookers adjacent to doors or openable windows should be avoided because of the effects of draughts. Additionally, locations that restrict the use of doors, kitchen furniture or utensils should be avoided, together with locations close to combustible furnishings, such as curtains. Guidance on the installation requirements of domestic gas cooking appliances is given in Gas Cookers and Ranges - Domestic (GID2) from the CORGI Gas Installer Manual Series, which is available by using the following link www.corgi-direct.com
