The product, in the report: DoughPro SL1577A Grill
I purchased a clamshell grill model SL1577A from DoughPro in Perris CA. It was duly delivered. We plugged it in and set the operating parameters, but did not put it into use immediately. On June 23 of this year we experienced a power failure at our place of business. We closed the business and went home. Later my wife had occasion to return to the place of business. Power had been restored and the place full of smoke. The source of the smoke was the mentioned grill - I had left some papers on the grill surface. Checking it the following day I determined that the grill would activate whenever power was connected and run up to its pre-programmed temperature, in this case 450 degrees. I initially thought that the unit had possibly been damaged by a power spike and consulted with the manufacturer on Monday June 25. To my astonishment, the company confirmed that the appliance was working correctly since it was programmed to respond as it did. I told them that it was an unacceptable fire hazard, and that I would not be using the appliance. They agreed to send me a revised chipset. I have rechecked the unit different times and its response is allways the same. Disconnect the power - plug it back in and the unit heats to its programmed values. Any power interruption has the same effect. Two months later I again spoke with the same person and she indicated that she would need to speak with a supervisor before taking any action - she had apparently done nothing. Two subsequent voicemail messages went unanswered. My next course of action was to contact INTERTEK, the testing agency. Their concerns involve client privacy issues, and informed me that they may not be able to inform me of their investigative findings. Meanwhile I will not be using this product until its safety deficiencies are addressed. I am, of course, aware that many users of this appliance are likely unaware of this hazard and solicit the assistance of your office in facilitating a solutiom to this problem.
