Fire Hazard with Thermador® Built-In Ovens-Recall
Washington DC - June 29, 2007- The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with BSH Home Appliances Corp. of Huntington Beach, Calif, announced a voluntary recall of the following consumer product. Consumers should stop using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
Thermador Brand Built In Ovens
Hazard: The oven can have gaps in the insulation where overheating can occur and when used in the self-cleaning mode it can cause nearby cabinets to overheat. This can pose a fire hazard to consumers. BSH has received ten reports of incidents including one which resulted in a fire that caused extensive property damage. No injuries have been reported.
This recall involves Thermador Brand built-in single ovens and combination models which have a conventional oven and a microwave. The model numbers of the single ovens are C271B and SEC301B.

The model number and date code can be found on the underside of the control panel.
These items were sold between November 2004 through May 2007 for between $2,400 and $3,900.
Consumers should stop using the oven’s self-cleaning mode and contact BSH Home Appliances immediately to schedule an inspection and free repair, if necessary.
