A. Unvented gas appliances are not allowed due to potential carbon monoxide risks. Nationally recognized fire codes do not allow these appliances to be located in a childcare setting. It should be noted that manufacturer’s guidelines instruct the owner to keep a window open during the use of these appliances.
