CPSC, Amana Announce Recall to Repair Gas Ranges
WASHINGTON, D.C. - In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), Amana Appliances, of Amana, Iowa, is recalling about
5,000 gas-fueled, down-draft ranges. The oven locking mechanism could
unlock prematurely during the self-clean cycle, allowing the oven door
to be opened. Burn injuries are possible to consumers if they are
exposed to high oven temperatures.
Amana has received no reports of injuries with these ranges. This recall
is being conducted to prevent the possibility of injuries.
These Amana gas ranges have model numbers AGDS901E and AGDS901WW
located on the left side of the range below the oven and behind the
utility drawer. The ranges are gas-fueled, slide-in models. The top
cooking surface has two gas burners on the left side, a gas grill on the
right side and the down draft vent in between. The ranges come in either
in black or white. The name, "Amana" is written above the clock of these
ranges.
Major department and appliance stores sold the gas ranges nationwide
from October 1995 to July 1999 for between $1,500 and $1,600.
Consumers with these ranges should not use the self-cleaning feature,
but can continue to use their ranges for cooking. Consumers should
immediately contact Amana to arrange a free service call to replace the
self-clean locking mechanism. For more information or to arrange a free
service call, call Amana at (800) 266-3535 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
Central time Monday through Friday, or access Amana's web site at
www.amana.com.
