What happened

General Electric is recalling certain Monogram® gas rangetops with grills because burners may fail to ignite or light properly when the gas control knob is left between the OFF and LITE positions. This defect creates a risk of delayed ignition or explosion. The recalled units are 36 or 48 inches wide with stainless steel finish and include models ZGU364LRP, ZGU484LGP, ZGU486LRP (LP models) and ZGU364NRP, ZGU484NGP, ZGU486NRP (natural gas models). Consumers can identify their rangetop using the model and serial number found on a label behind the far left burner knob or on the bottom of the unit; affected serial numbers begin with AS, AT, AV, DS, DT, DV, FS, FT, FV, GS, GT, GV, HR, HS, HT, HV, LR, LS, LT, LV, MR, MS, MT, RR, RS, RT, SR, SS, ST, TR, TS, TT, VR, VS, VT, ZR, ZS, or ZT.

If a rangetop is operating on LP (propane) gas, consumers should immediately stop using the product, turn off the gas supply, and contact GE to schedule a free repair. GE will also notify known owners of natural gas units and provide a free repair for consumers who have converted their rangetop to use LP gas.
