CPSC recall 01155b, announced May 17, 2001, covers Thermador® combination thermal/microwave ovens (about 2,300 units). The oven door may not lock properly when the oven is put into the "self clean" mode. The notice reports no incidents.

Compare the model on your label, then check any serial numbers, date codes, and exclusions in the notice. A model match alone does not confirm that your unit is included.
Check the product label for these CPSC-listed model numbers: CM301UB, CM302UB, CM301UW, CM302UW, CM301US, CM302US.
Which products are included?
The oven has a steel frame around glass panels and comes in a black, white or stainless steel finish. It is sold as a single or double-stacked unit. The model numbers included in the recall are CM301UB, CM302UB, CM301UW, CM302UW, CM301US, and CM302US with serial numbers that begin with 2003 through 2010. The model and serial numbers are located on a data plate inside the grill located beneath the control panel, that reads "Thermador" on the right hand side of the oven.
Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
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.
Incidents and injuries
None reported.
Official remedy
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.
