OFT warns of safety issue on some gas cookers

The Island's Office of Fair Trading has issued a safety warning to those who have recently bought a certain gas cooker.

The message has gone to those who've bought a stove/cooker from Glen Dimplex Home Appliances (GDHA) Limited.

It concerns Belling, Stoves and New World gas range cookers (110,100 AND 90 models).

The safety message warns consumers the grill on certain models should not be used with the door closed, as it can cause extremely dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and pose a significant health risk to users.

The manufacturer will also write to owners to advise them to use their grills safely.
