There is no need for a chimney or chimney
Electric models don't require a flue or chimney like gas stoves or multi-fuel fires do. They are more versatile and suitable for all types of homes.
In electric stoves fires makes use of electricity to heat coils, instead of gas that can ignite, such as butane, propane natural gas, natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas which means that they do not create carbon monoxide or other combustion products.
The lack of an exhaust pipe also means you do not need an expert installer to set up an electric stove. Installation tends to be quicker and easier too as there is no pipe work involved. Electric stoves can be installed on a variety of ways, including as a part of a TV media centre mounted on the wall or as a separate stove.
Another benefit of using an electric stove is that it can be used in power cuts and blackouts. This is due to the fact that it runs through a mains power connection instead of an ignitable fuel. To lower your carbon footprint, you should ensure that your electricity is sourced from a renewable resource.
The electric stove has one final benefit: it can be plugged into any outlet. This is great for people who have limited space or reside in rental properties. It is still advisable to keep the smoke alarm and fire extinguisher close by.

It is also important to ensure that the stove isn't too close to furniture or curtains. Even with an electric stove, cooking produces indoor air pollutants. Therefore it is crucial to have a good kitchen ventilation system, either via windows or a range hood venting outdoors.

If you cannot avoid getting the coils wet using a microfiber cloth or soft towel, then you should use a soft and absorbent towel. If you are unsure of how to safely do this you should consult your manual or ask an expert. Be sure to wring out the soapy cloth prior to applying it to any electrical components and always avoid applying water to spark igniters or wires because water and electricity are not compatible!
