Fisher & Paykel electric cooktops
Fisher & Paykel has recalled two models
of electric cooktop sold in Australia since 2011.
The cooktops are ceramic glass with the
control panel and dials positioned at the front
right. Liquid can leak down into the electrical

components in the event of a spill around the
control panel and dials. This may cause an
electric shock when touching the control panel,
dials or spilled liquid.
The affected model numbers start with
CE604CB, CE604LB or CE905CB. The serial
number range begins with 1, 2, 3, 4, BK, BL,
BU, BY, EF, EI, ES. No other models of cooktop
—gas, induction or electric with slide controls—

are affected. Model and serial numbers on the
appliance are not easily accessible but may
be found on the back cover of the User Guide.
If the User Guide is not available and this
type of cooktop has been purchased since
2011, contact Fisher & Paykel to help identify
whether the cooktop is included in the recall
and if required, book a free visit from a
technician by phoning 1300 650 590.
