The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (March 14) urged the public to contact respective importers for free checking of the following three models and batches of gas cooking appliances:
| Importer/ Hotline | Brand | Model | Import date/ Quantity | Serial numbers |
| Gilman Group Limited/ 2418 3179* | Philco | PH2753B | May 2016/ 200 | KP16060001 to KP16060200 |
| Whirlpool (Hong Kong) Ltd/ 3759 8155* | Whirlpool | AGK233 | June 2016/ 150 | 002816200001 to 002816200150 |
| Charm Vantage Limited/ 9013 3451* | Küzzo | KF-218T | April 2016/ 95 | T2181511153 to T2181511247 |
* Office hours only
The above appliances failed in a combustion performance test due to improper setting of the air-fuel ratio. However, this does not affect their safe operation.
The importers posted notices announcing the free checking arrangement in newspapers today. They are also contacting their customers to arrange adjustment of the air-fuel ratio setting of the appliances.
The EMSD reminds the public to ensure adequate ventilation when using gas cooking appliances.
