The Gas Safe Register issues an alert about gas range cookers with a gas grill

Please note that the Gas Safe Register released Safety Alert 030 relating to Belling, Stoves and New World gas range cookers with gas grill (110, 100 and 90 models) manufactured by Glen Dimplex Home Appliances Ltd.

It has been identified in the above models, that if the gas grill is used with the door closed, there is a risk that this may result in extremely dangerous levels of carbon monoxide (CO) being produced which could pose a significant risk to your health.

To ensure that the appliance works in a safe manner, the manufacturers advice is to always use the grill with door fully open.

Please note that the use of the gas oven and hob are not affected by this safety alert.

If you’re one of our tenants, your home should have at least one carbon monoxide detector, and it will activate with an alarm, if there is too much carbon monoxide in the air in your property. If the alarm activates at any time, please call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately.

If you’re a leaseholder or shared owner, it’s your responsibility to make sure that a carbon monoxide detector is fitted in each room where a gas appliance is used. We recommend you get a gas safety check once a year, too.
