What’s wrong with it?
The oven door may not lock properly when the oven is put into the “self clean” mode. While the oven is in “self clean” mode, intense heat is generated to clean the oven. If oxygen is introduced by opening the oven door during the “self clean” mode, combustible material left inside can ignite and pose a fire risk.

What should you do?
Consumers should stop using the “self clean” mode of the recalled ovens immediately and contact Thermador to arrange for a free inspection and, if needed, free repair.
