Why it was recalled

The oven can have gaps in the insulation where overheating can occur and, when used in the self-cleaning mode, it can cause nearby cabinets to overheat. This can pose a fire hazard to consumers.

Official remedy

Consumers should stop using the oven's self-cleaning mode and contact BSH Home Appliances immediately to schedule an inspection and free repair, if necessary.
