closed rooms. It is not permitted to route the smoke to
any available chimneys.

the applicable safety regulations and labelled accor-
dingly (permissible operating pressure, date of manu-
facture, manufacturer). Replace any damaged or worn
high-pressure hoses. It is not permitted to repair or patch
high-pressure hoses.
