Gas Appliances Regulations

Hello.


We've just moved into a property and are looking to install a new kitchen. A salesman from a retailer took one look at out existing configuration of gas appliances and said this is a dangerous/illegal set up because of the distance between the two appliances. Does this sound correct. Obviously worried about using the ovens now.  Thanks in advance.

  • It is a flueless gas appliance that needs unrestricted air flow around it.


    Under no circumstances should a gas hob or oven be used as a room heater, as I have seen done with people turning the gas hob on to heat the room thinking they are saving money by not turning the central heating on. Because again they are a flueless gas appliance being used inappropriately and quite possibly for longer than intended.
