Plain-English summary

Electrolux Home Products Inc. is recalling approximately 900 units of Electrolux ICON and Kenmore PRO 30-inch free-standing gas ranges. The recall covers specific model and serial number combinations sold at appliance retailers nationwide between August 2008 and October 2009 for prices between $2,500 and $3,500.

The recall is due to a defect where an incorrect part allows more fuel to pass to the oven than can be burned efficiently. This results in incomplete combustion and the release of carbon monoxide, posing a risk of poisoning to consumers. Electrolux has received four reports of incidents involving carbon monoxide release from these ranges, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the oven portion of the recalled ranges. They can continue to use the cooktop (top burners), broiler, and any clock or timer functions. Owners should contact Electrolux or Transform for Kenmore brand products to schedule a free repair. Model and serial numbers are located on the back of the range for Electrolux ICON models, and near the base of the range and on the back for Kenmore PRO models.
