GE recently announced the recall of their Monogram Pro Rangetop with Grill due to an explosion hazard. The burners on the rangetop operating on liquified petroleum can fail to ignite or light if the gas control knob is left in a position between OFF and LITE, which can pose a risk of delayed ignition or explosion.
There have been six reports involving explosions in units that are operating on LP gas. Fortunately no fires or injuries have yet been reported.
Consumers who own one of the recalled units should stop using it immediately, turn off gas supply to the unit and contact GE to schedule a free repair.
