Using the heaters “could result in serious illness, injury, or death”.

“A burner tile retention bracket may deteriorate after several years of use allowing the burner tile to move and compromise the efficiency of combustion of the appliance,” the ACCC said.

“Appliances installed indoors, may no longer be safe for use.

“Outdoor appliances are not considered unsafe.”

The ACCC is advising customers to stop using the heater immediately, turn off the gas supply and disconnect the appliance from a power-point.

“Note the serial number of the unit and contact Celmec International to verify if you have an affected heater and to arrange for a qualified technician to inspect and repair the heater on site.

“The serial number is located inside the rear panel on the left-hand side.”

The heaters were manufactured and supplied from September 2008 to November 2013.
