Frigidaire Canada Recalls Kenmore Wall Ovens Due to Fire and Burn Hazards

This recall involves Kenmore 24-inch-wide gas and propane, wall-mounted ovens. The self-cleaning ovens were sold in white, black, bisque and stainless steel, and have the Kenmore name printed on the oven control panel. The model and serial numbers of the ovens that are part of this recall can be found on the frame on the left side of the oven cavity. Model Numbers 790.30472400, 790.30473400, 790.30473401, 790.30474400, 790.30479400 Serial Number Range NF401xxxxx through NF610xxxxx. Recalled by Frigidaire Canada, a sister company of Electrolux Home Products Inc., of Cleveland, Ohio. Units affected: About 7,500.

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.

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.

This recall was issued by the CPSC on May 20, 2008. Severity: Moderate. Recall number: 08573.
