    The model and serial numbers can be found on a label in one of three locations: On the bottom of the control panel above the door, on the front of the oven cavity below the control panel, or on the inside of the left side panel, which can be seen by removing the left front grate and burner bowl.

    The first six numbers in the serial number are the manufacture date (MM/DD/YY format). Model numbers will have additional characters at the end depending on the top configuration and product finish. For example, a CVGIC530 with 4 burners in stainless steel will be CVGIC530-4B-SS.

     

    Hazard Identified:

    The ovens in the gas ranges can turn on by themselves when liquid drips from the stove top into the oven, posing a burn hazard to consumers.

    Health Canada has not received any consumer reports of incidents or injuries related to the use of these ranges.

    Viking Range has received 4 reports in Canada and 71 reports in the United States of the ovens in the gas ranges turning on by themselves. There have been no reports of injuries or property damage in Canada. In the United States, burn injuries were reported in three incidents, while property damage was reported in four cases.
