Plain-English summary

GE Consumer & Industrial is recalling approximately 6,600 GE Monogram 36-inch and 48-inch Professional Gas Ranges. The recall involves specific models manufactured between February 1, 2004, and October 1, 2005, which were sold nationwide through home builders and appliance stores for between $4,000 and $6,000.

The ranges contain a design flaw that can cause an electrical arc between the wiring and adjacent gas supply tubes in the control housing. This defect poses a fire hazard. GE has received reports of six incidents of fire in the control area of these ranges, but no injuries or property damage have been reported.

Consumers should stop using the griddle on the 36-inch and 48-inch models, and the left front burner on the 48-inch models, until the repair is completed. The large oven and all other burners can be used. Customers should contact GE to schedule a free, in-home repair by calling the Recall Hotline at (866) 696-7583 or visiting GEAppliances.com.
