The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) has issued a safety warning for the use of gas grills on certain Belling, Stoves and New World gas range cookers, manufactured by Glen Dimplex Home Appliances (GDHA).

Consumers are being warned that if the gas grill is used with the door closed there is a risk that dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can build up, posing a risk of serious injury or death to those within the immediate environment.

The products affected are the 110, 100 and 90 models. GDHA is also writing to its customers advising them to operate their gas grills with the door fully open, in accordance with the safety manual.

Graham Russell, the chief executive of OPSS, said: “I urge consumers to ensure the door is always kept fully open when the grill is in operation and remind all consumers of the importance of following the safety instructions for their gas cookers. Glen Dimplex has issued this warning following instructions from OPSS. We will monitor their actions and hold them to account.”
