Hazard

During extended broiling, gas can build in the oven cavity and escape when the oven door is opened. This poses a burn and possible fire hazard to consumers.

Remedy

Consumers should immediately stop using the "broil" feature on recalled ovens and contact Transform for Kenmore branded products to schedule a free repair. Consumers may continue to use the "bake" feature.

Incidents & injuries

Electrolux has received 16 reports of incidents involving gas build-up, including flames escaping from the oven door, burns to the hands and face, and singed hair.
