What to do now

The risk with LPG 2 & 3 Pan Plus Scuttle Fish & Chip Fryer Range is fire: a fault could cause it to overheat, melt or ignite.

  1. Unplug it and do not charge it again.
  2. Store it away from anything that burns until you can return or dispose of it. Batteries should go to a battery recycling point, not the household bin.
  3. Follow the corrective action in the notice: a refund, repair or replacement from the business.
