Their big mistake was putting it on their countertop but underneath cabinets. They learned the hard way one Sunday afternoon.
They tossed in some sort of turkey or chicken and then went to Church, similar to crock pot cooking. They figured they could set it and forget it while awy for 3 hours. When they returned home, part of their kitchen was damaged.
That oven generates so much heat that it wound up melting the overhead light strip on the cabinet. Also, the wood started to char on the bottom....who knows how much longer until it simply burst into flames.
I am surprised that some tort attorney somewhere did not argue that by encouraging the mantra of "set it and forget it," the manufacturer could have reasonably forseen these types of accidents.
