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.
