IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE - UBGHC601S, UBGHC701S

5th September 2023

We strongly believe you may have one of these products in your home or caravan. Please contact us straight away to arrange for a free inspection and repair.

We have become aware that some Apelson (AAUK) gas hobs may be fitted with a gas connector that is at risk of failing in certain circumstances whether the hob is in use or not. Should this occur, this could lead to a gas leak or fire.
The models affected have the following model numbers:

UBGHC601S
UBGHC701S

If you are not sure of your gas hob brand, please contact us on Freephone 0800 041 8839.

How do I know if I have an affected model? 

The model number can be found either on the rating label under the hob (as shown in the image above) or on the instruction manual. Should neither be readily accessible, or you have concerns you might have an affected model, then please follow the instructions below to register for a free inspection by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

What should I do next?

If you have an affected gas hob or you cannot locate your model number, it’s important that you contact us straight away to arrange for a free inspection and repair by a Gas Safe registered engineer. You can contact us on Freephone 0800 041 8839. Alternatively, go to gashobsrepair.mktpoint.com to enter your details. When contacting us, please have your model number to hand.

If you are using an affected appliance with Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) in a caravan or motorhome, please disconnect it from the LPG cylinder immediately. 

If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us on Freephone 0800 041 8839. While you are waiting for the engineer’s visit, please continue to keep in mind the important Gas Safety Tips, which you can view here: https://www.gassaferegister.co.uk/gas-safety/home-gas-safety/home-gas-safety-tips/.
